Maltase 1 regulates DENV2 infection and life history in Aedes aegypti
Our study employed CRISPR/Cas9 to generate a MAL1 knockout strain of Aedes aegypti, demonstrating that the absence of MAL1 significantly suppresses DENV2 replication in the midgut and impairs viral transmission. The mutation also altered life‐history (hatching/pupation/emerging rates and sex‐specific survival), identifying MAL1 as a novel target for ...

The Zika virus is an arbovirus belonging to the virus family Flaviviridae. The virus was isolated in 1947 from a rhesus monkey in the Zika Forest of Uganda. The virus causes sporadic mild human infections in Africa and later in Asia. However, by 2007 a major shift in its infection pattern was noticed and thousands of human infections were reported in ...

The role of iron in normal and impaired testicular function
Abstract Iron plays a critical role in testicular physiology, impacting spermatogenesis, testosterone production, and overall testicular function. Iron homeostasis is maintained through systemic and cellular regulatory mechanisms, including hepcidin‐mediated systemic iron control and the iron‐responsive element/iron regulatory protein (IRE/IRP) system ...

Antibodies Elicited by an NS1-Based Vaccine Protect Mice against Zika Virus
Zika virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus which can cause severe disease in humans, including microcephaly and other congenital malformations in newborns and Guillain-Barré syndrome in adults. There are currently no approved prophylactics or therapeutics

ABSTRACT The incidence of Tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE) cases has increased. The presumed location of transmission of Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) has been expanding increasingly in the western parts of Europe during the past decade. There has also been an increased incidence of surveillance‐reported TBE cases in southern Sweden and southern ...

Since its discovery in 1947 in Uganda, the Zika virus (ZIKV) remained in the shadows emerging in 2007 in Micronesia, where hundreds of dengue-like syndromes were reported. Then, in 2013-2014, it was rife in French Polynesia, where the first neurological effects were observed.

Frayed Rope and Resilient Threads: Fijian Healthcare and the COVID‐19 Pandemic
ABSTRACT In April 2021, Fiji faced international scrutiny due to ‘horrific’ hospital conditions, including staff and patients lacking food, non‐operational operating theatres, and critical shortages of beds, medicine, and equipment. After successfully avoiding a major outbreak in 2020, a sudden surge in COVID‐19 cases in 2021 overwhelmed the public ...
