West Nile virus in the Iberian Peninsula: using equine cases to identify high-risk areas for humans
ConclusionA risk map highlighting the risk areas for potential future cases could be cost-effective as a means of promoting preventive measures to decrease incidence of WNV infection in Europe, based on a One Health surveillance approach.PMID:37796440 | PMC:PMC10557382 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2023.28.40.2200844 (Source: Euro Surveill)

Demographic characteristics associated with West Nile virus neuroinvasive disease – A retrospective study on the wider European area 2006–2021
by Nicola Riccetti, Federico Ferraccioli, Augusto Fasano, Nikolaos I. Stilianakis BackgroundWith a case-fatality-risk ranging from 3.0 to>20.0% and life-long sequelae, West Nile neuroinvasive disease (WNND) is the most dangerous outcome of West Nile virus (WNV) infection in humans. As no specific prophylaxis nor therapy is available for these infections, focus is on preventive strategies. We aimed to find variables associated with WNND diagnosis, hospitalisation or death, to identify high-risk sub-groups of the population, on whom to concentrate these strategies. MethodsWe used data from The European Surveillance System â€...

Hepatitis C Virus Nonstructural Protein 3 Increases Secretion of Interleukin-lbeta in HEK293T Cells with a Reconstructed NLRP3 Inflammasome
In this study, a functional NLRP3 inflammasome was reconstructed in human HEK293T cells and the effect of some nonstructural proteins of individual Flaviviridae viruses on it was studied. This model did not reveal any impact of nonstructural NS1 proteins of the West Nile virus, NS3 of hepatitis C virus, or NS5 of tick-borne encephalitis virus on the inflammasome components content. At the same time, in the presence of the NS1 of the West Nile virus and NS5 of the tick-borne encephalitis virus, the level of secretion of interleukin-1beta did not change, whereas in the presence of the NS3 protein of the hepatitis C virus, it...
