Artificial blood feeding of mosquitoes is essential for their rearing in insectaries as well as for mosquito-borne pathogen transmission experiments. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the different artificial feeding systems available for mosquitoes to synthesize evidence regarding their efficacy in terms of feeding rates and fecundity. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were systematically searched to retrieve 1,822 experimental studies assessing the efficacy of artificial feeding systems.

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease (MOGAD) is characterized by multiple phenotypic conditions such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, optic neuritis, and myelitis.

We report a boy with new-onset continuous headache and a brain MRI at onset suggesting idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).
