Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of women of childbearing age testing negative for Zika virus in Kentucky, 2016

Preventive Medicine Reports, 2018
Because infection with Zika virus during pregnancy can cause microcephaly and other birth defects, women of childbearing age are an important population for targeting of Zika-related public health messaging.

Genomic and Epidemiological Characterization of DENV‐1 and DENV‐2 Co‐Circulation During the 2023–2024 Dengue Epidemic in Espírito Santo, Brazil

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In 2023 and 2024, Espírito Santo state, Brazil, experienced its largest dengue epidemic in 30 years, with record numbers of cases and deaths. This study aimed to characterize confirmed dengue cases and the dengue virus (DENV) during the epidemic and pre‐epidemic periods.

Antibody Responses in Pediatric Dengue Indicate Emergence and Co‐Circulation of DENV‐3 Genotypes I and III in Myanmar and Orthoflavivirus Cross‐Reactivity

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Dengue virus (DENV) remains a major public health concern in Southeast Asia, disproportionately affecting children. In Myanmar, DENV‐3 Genotype III predominated before 2017, with Genotype I emerging thereafter. To assess the impact of this emergence on antibody responses, we analyzed paired acute and convalescent serum samples from 38 ...

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page e478-e490, August 2026.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Exosome‐Mediated Delivery of PROTACs for Targeted Protein Degradation in Cancer, Neurodegenerative, Infectious, and Inflammatory Diseases

Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Proteolysis‐targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are heterobifunctional molecules that hijack the ubiquitin‐proteasome system to drive catalytic, sub‐stoichiometric degradation of disease‐associated proteins, offering a mechanistic advantage over occupancy‐driven inhibitors and access to ‘undruggable’ targets.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Mechanistic‐Statistical Inference of Mosquito Dynamics From Mark‐Release‐Recapture Data

Population Ecology, Volume 68, Issue 3, July 2026.
Mark‐release‐recapture data contain valuable information on mosquito dispersal and survival, but this information is only indirectly observed through trap counts. We combine a mechanistic diffusion model with a statistical observation model to infer movement, mortality, and trap efficiency jointly.

Palmitic Acid Promotes Antiviral Innate Immunity via ZDHHC20‐Mediated CMPK2 Palmitoylation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 37, 3 July 2026.
Metabolites have important functions in innate immune activation and regulation. Wang et al. uncover metabolic regulation of antiviral immunity through CMPK2 palmitoylation, which regulates CMPK2 mitochondrial localization and is promoted by ZDHHC20 but reversed by PPT1, inhibition of which antagonizes viral infection in mice.

Humanized immune system animal models and their recent applications

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 7, Page 1310-1324, July 2026.
In this review, we provide an updated and comprehensive overview of the current state of humanized immune system animal model research. We discuss the variety of techniques used to produce humanized mice with their respective strengths and weaknesses, and evaluate the advantages and limitations of these models, including issues with incomplete immune ...

Zika Virus Inoculation During Pregnancy Impaired Maternal Care and Altered Prolactin and Corticosterone Levels in Rats

Developmental Neurobiology, Volume 86, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Zika virus (ZIKV) is an Orthoflavivirus known for its teratogenicity and for causing congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) in the offspring, but recent studies suggest a negative impact on maternal brain health and behavior following gestational ZIKV inoculation.
