Evaluation de l'efficacité de fluméthrine dans la lutte contre les glossines à Lutendele, République démocratique du Congo Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Unravelling the phenology of Ixodes frontalis, a common but understudied tick species in Europe Universiteit Hasselt
Tick-borne diseases have a complex epidemiology that depends on different ecological communities, associating several species of vertebrate hosts, vectors and pathogens. While most studies in Europe are focused on Ixodes ricinus, the common sheep tick, other Ixodes species may also be involved in the transmission or maintenance of different pathogens. In this study, we describe for the first time the activity pattern of I. frontalis, an ...
From Anopheles to spatial surveillance: a roadmap through a multidisciplinary challenge Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

A virus becomes a global concern: research activities on West-Nile virus Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Currently, West-Nile virus (WNV) is spreading worldwide to colder regions due to climate change. Human mortality and morbidity are prevalent and steadily increasing, associated with costs to public health systems. Therefore, the question of the impact of scientific engagement arises. What trends, barriers, and incentives for research related to global burdens are important in this context? To answer these questions, this study provides detailed ...
Options for the delivery of anti-pathogen molecules in arthropod vectors Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Blood feeding arthropods are responsible for the transmission of a large array of medically important infectious agents that include viruses, bacteria, protozoan parasites and helminths. The recent development of transgenic and paratransgenic technologies have enabled supplementing the immune system of these arthropod vectors with anti-pathogen effector molecules in view of compromising their vector competence for these microbial agents. The ...

In Vitro and In Vivo coinfection and superinfection dynamics of Mayaro and Zika viruses in mosquito and vertebrate backgrounds Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Globalization and climate change have contributed to the simultaneous increase and spread of arboviral diseases. Cocirculation of several arboviruses in the same geographic region provides an impetus to study the impacts of multiple concurrent infections within an individual vector mosquito. Here, we describe coinfection and superinfection with the Mayaro virus (Togaviridae, Alphavirus) and Zika virus (Flaviviridae, Flavivirus) in vertebrate and ...
