    Vaccine-elicited receptor-binding site antibodies neutralize two New World hemorrhagic fever arenaviruses.
    Nat Commun 2018 May 14;9(1):1884. Epub 2018 May 14.
    Department of Microbiology and Immunobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, 02115, USA.
    While five arenaviruses cause human hemorrhagic fevers in the Western Hemisphere, only Junin virus (JUNV) has a vaccine. The GP1 subunit of their envelope glycoprotein binds transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) using a surface that substantially varies in sequence among the viruses. As such, receptor-mimicking antibodies described to date are type-specific and lack the usual breadth associated with this mode of neutralization. Read More

    Acute Viral Hepatitis: Beyond A, B, and C.
    Surg Pathol Clin 2018 Jun 26;11(2):251-266. Epub 2018 Mar 26.
    Department of Pathology, Surgical Pathology, University of Sao Paulo School of Medicine, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Electronic address:
    From the standpoint of the surgical pathologist "hepatitis" is defined as the set of histologic patterns of lesions found in livers infected by hepatotropic viruses, by non-hepatotrophic viruses leading to liver inflammation in the context of systemic infection, or due to an autoimmune disease, drug, or toxin involving the liver. This article is centered on the histologic patterns of injury in acute viral hepatitis, encompassing the hepatotropic viruses A, B, C, D, and E and the "icteric hemorrhagic fevers" (dengue, hantavirus, yellow fever). A brief mention of viruses causing hepatitis in immunosuppressed patients also is presented. Read More

    Antibodies to the Glycoprotein GP2 Subunit Cross-React between Old and New World Arenaviruses.
    mSphere 2018 Jun 2;3(3). Epub 2018 May 2.
    Department of Microbiology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, New York, USA
    Arenaviruses pose a major public health threat and cause numerous infections in humans each year. Although most viruses belonging to this family do not cause disease in humans, some arenaviruses, such as Lassa virus and Machupo virus, are the etiological agents of lethal hemorrhagic fevers. The absence of a currently licensed vaccine and the highly pathogenic nature of these viruses both make the necessity of developing viable vaccines and therapeutics all the more urgent. Read More

    The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Skuse), a vector of dengue, chikungunya and zika viruses, reaches Portugal (Diptera: Culicidae).
    Zootaxa 2018 Apr 20;4413(1):197-200. Epub 2018 Apr 20.
    Computational Biology and Population Genomics Group, cE3c - Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Changes, Faculdade de Ciências, Universidade de Lisboa, Campo Grande, 1749-016 Lisboa, Portugal..
    The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus (Skuse), is a tropical species originally from south-eastern Asia (Hawley, 1988). It has experienced a rampant human-mediated range expansion since the 1970s to now occupy almost the whole of the tropical and subtropical areas of the world. As an eclectic haematophagous species, it attacks humans and is able to use a number of man-made and natural structures where stagnant water is present (Estrada-Franco Craig, 1995). Read More

    DENGUE PREVENTION: CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS OF RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ECONOMIC STATUS, KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES AND PRACTICE, VACCINE ACCEPTANCE AND WILLINGNESS TO PARTICIPATE IN A STUDY.
    Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health 2017 Mar;48(2):297-305
    The aim of this study was to study the relationships between economic status, knowledge, attitude and practice regarding dengue fever (DF), attitude towards vaccination against dengue virus infection, willingness to participate in a study on dengue, and acceptance of a dengue vaccine. Information on variables of interest was collected in questionnaire-assisted interviews during a communitybased cross-sectional survey conducted in Aceh, Indonesia. A proposed relationship model was tested using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was used to reconstruct an alternative relationship model among variables.

    Rev Assoc Med Bras (1992) 2018 Feb;64(2):106-113
    Hospital das Clínicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
    The yellow fever (YF) virus is a Flavivirus, transmitted by Haemagogus, Sabethes or Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The disease is endemic in forest areas in Africa and Latin America leading to epizootics in monkeys that constitute the reservoir of the disease. There are two forms of YF: sylvatic, transmitted accidentally when approaching the forests, and urban, which can be perpetuated by Aedes aegypti. Read More

    Rapid Diagnostic Tests in Childhood Infections.
    Indian Pediatr 2018 03;55(3):233-237
    Department of Pediatrics, Institute of Child Health, Kolkata, India.
    Presumptive treatment of infections often results in irrational antimicrobial use resulting in detrimental spread of drug resistance and untoward side effects. A rapid diagnostic test (RDT) is a test that delivers a result earlier than conventional testing methods employed in the past to identify the offending microorganism. RDTs help in early definitive therapy, reduction in hospital stay and cost, and in degree of morbidity and mortality associated with the infection. Read More

    Médecins Sans Frontières, London, UK.
    Recent outbreaks of Ebola virus disease (2013-2016) and Zika virus (2015-2016) bring renewed recognition of the need to understand social pathways of disease transmission and barriers to care. Social scientists, anthropologists in particular, have been recognised as important players in disease outbreak response because of their ability to assess social, economic and political factors in local contexts. However, in emergency public health response, as with any interdisciplinary setting, different professions may disagree over methods, ethics and the nature of evidence itself. Read More

    Division of Global Health Protection, Centers for Global Health, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
    Background: The mental health impact of the 2014-2016 Ebola epidemic has been described among survivors, family members and healthcare workers, but little is known about its impact on the general population of affected countries.

    Global Aspects of Viral Glycosylation Enveloped viruses/herpesvirus/mass spectrometry/mucin type O-glycosylation/viral glycans.
    Glycobiology 2018 Mar 22. Epub 2018 Mar 22.
    Copenhagen Center for Glycomics, Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, University of Copenhagen, 2200 Copenhagen N, Denmark.
    Enveloped viruses encompass some of the most common human pathogens causing infections of different severity, ranging from no or very few symptoms to lethal disease as seen with the viral hemorrhagic fevers. All enveloped viruses possess an envelope membrane derived from the host cell, modified with often heavily glycosylated virally encoded glycoproteins important for infectivity, viral particle formation, and immune evasion. While N-linked glycosylation of viral envelope proteins is well characterized with respect to location, structure, and site occupancy, information on mucin-type O-glycosylation of these proteins is less comprehensive.
