Four Afrotropical Culicoides species are recorded in Mauritius with suspected or historically involvement in BTV and EHDV transmission. All species were distributed all over the island. While intra‐specific morphological variations were detected, genetic analyses did not reveal any cryptic diversity. Abstract Viruses transmitted by biting midge species

Genetic Contribution to Asthma Informs Acute Chest Syndrome Pathophysiology and Risk Stratification
ABSTRACT Acute chest syndrome (ACS) is a severe complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) occurring in ~50% of patients, some presenting frequent episodes. We lack tools to identify patients at high risk of ACS occurrence or frequent episodes. Epidemiological studies have found an association between asthma and ACS, but whether this link is causal is ...

This is leading to reductions in sugar intake and cardiovascular disease, as predicted, but unintentionally also to considerable increases in the consumption of non‐nutritive sweeteners (NNS).
