Many vector-borne viruses are re-emerging as public health threats, yet our understanding of the virus-host interactions critical for productive infection remains limited. The ubiquitination of proteins, including host- and pathogen-derived proteins is a highly prominent and consistent post-translational modification that regulates protein function through signaling and degradation. Viral proteins are documented to hijack the host ubiquitination machinery to modulate multiple host processes including antiviral defense mechanisms.

[Dengue, rabies and measles in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era].

Rev Med Inst Mex Seguro Soc

September 2024

Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, Coordinación de Calidad de Insumos y Laboratorios Especializados. Ciudad de México, México.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, efforts have gradually been focused on medical care, epidemiological surveillance, and preventive health programs. An example of this is the identification during 2023 by the Epidemiological Surveillance System [of Mexico] of the increase in dengue cases and the presence of serotype 3, as well as cases of measles (imported and related to importation) and, at the same time, cases of human rabies with transmission from pet animals. Mexico's health system has been characterized by achievements in vaccine-preventable pathologies, as well as the robust epidemiological surveillance system for febrile exanthematous illness and vector-transmitted diseases.

Neurobartonelloses: emerging from obscurity!

Article Synopsis
  • Bartonella species are intracellular bacteria linked to various human diseases, often transmitted through infected bodily fluids or vectors, but infections have been reported without clear contact to animals or insects.
  • These bacteria are associated with neurological conditions, including neuroretinitis and encephalitis, primarily linked to species like Bartonella henselae and B. quintana, and can also cause peripheral neuropathies.
  • Recent studies have detected Bartonella DNA more frequently in patients with neuropsychiatric disorders, suggesting a potential connection between these infections and conditions such as schizophrenia and psychoses.

Dengue fever is a mosquito-transmitted disease of great public health importance. Dengue lacks adequate vaccine protection and insecticide-based methods of mosquito control are proving increasingly ineffective. Here we review the emerging use of mosquitoes transinfected with the obligate intracellular bacterium Wolbachia pipientis for vector control.
