Quantifying the survival uncertainty of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes in a spatial model by Martin Strugarek, Nicolas Vauchelet, Jorge P. Zubelli

“…Artificial releases of Wolbachia-infected Aedes mosquitoes have been under study in the past yearsfor fighting vector-borne diseases such as dengue, chikungunya and zika.Several strains of this bacterium cause cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) and can also affect their host's fecundity or lifespan, while highly reducing vector competence for the main arboviruses. …”

Development of a Novel Rapid Immunodiagnostic Kit Based on Flagellar 40 kDa Antigen Epitope for the Detection of Typhoid Fever in Indian Patients by Rahul Mitra, Surya Bhan, Gopal Nath, Narender Kumar, Ziledar Ali

“…The disease often does not show a specific clinical picture, and can be confused with other febrile illness such as malaria, dengue fever and Staphylococcus aureus. To overcome the problem of cross reactivity specific epitope of the flagellar H antigen was immobilised on the testing kit strip eliminating chances of cross reactivity and false positive results thereby increasing the specificity of the test. …”

The infectivity of virus particles from Wolbachia-infected Drosophila by Angelique Asselin, Karyn Johnson

“…As such, it has been successfully implemented in vector control strategies against mosquito-borne diseases, including Dengue virus. Whilst the mechanisms behind Wolbachia-mediated viral blocking are not fully characterised, it was recently shown that viruses grown in the presence of Wolbachia in some Dipteran cell cultures are less infectious than those grown in the absence of Wolbachia. …”

Short-term health system responses to epidemics across hard to reach areas in sub-Saharan Africa: A scoping review protocol. by Annette A Murunga, Ben Ngoye, Francis P Wafula, Gilbert O Kokwaro

“…In the past 20 years, the sub-Saharan region has witnessed a marked increase in the number of outbreaks in pandemics, such as cholera, dengue, A/H5N 1 influenza among others. While efforts toward containment have been individually studied, we have no recent studies that examine them collectively in order to draw appropriate comparisons, no recent studies that have especially focused on hard-to-reach areas, and none that have applied a health systems lens. …”
