West Nile and Usutu viruses: current spreading and future threats in a warming northern Europe by Justine Laverdeur, Justine Laverdeur, Hélène Amory, Pablo Beckers, Daniel Desmecht, Frédéric Francis, Mutien-Marie Garigliany, Marie-Pierre Hayette, Annick Linden, Gilles Darcis

“…Arboviral infections are best studied using the One Health concept, due to their reliance on complex interactions between environmental factors, arthropod vectors and vertebrate hosts. This review focuses on two arboviruses, namely West Nile Virus (WNV) and Usutu Virus (USUV), both causing emerging public health issues in northern Europe. …”

Lysophosphatidylcholine: A Novel Modulator of Trypanosoma cruzi Transmission by Mário A. C. Silva-Neto, Alan B. Carneiro, Livia Silva-Cardoso, Georgia C. Atella

“…Finally, LPC inhibits NO production by macrophages stimulated by live T. cruzi, and thus interferes with the immune system of the vertebrate host. In the present paper, we discuss the main signaling mechanisms that are likely used by such molecule and their eventual use as targets to block parasite transmission and the pathogenesis of Chagas disease.…”
