Modeling co-infection of Ixodes tick-borne pathogens by Yijun Lou, Li Liu, Daozhou Gao

“…Ticks, including the Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes scapularis hard tick species, are regarded as the most common arthropod vectors of both human and animal diseases in Europe and the United States capable of transmitting a large number of bacteria, viruses and parasites. Since ticks in larval and nymphal stages share the same host community which can harbor multiple pathogens, they may be co-infected with two or more pathogens, with a subsequent high likelihood of co-transmission to humans or animals. …”

Le régime alimentaire des Gorilles de plaine de l’Est, Gorilla beringei graueri et la pharmacopée humaine : Alimentation ou automédication ? by Dalley-Divin Kambale Saa-Sita, Shelly Masi, Aimée Lorela Katungu Sawa-Sawa, Jean-Claude Kyungu Kasolene, Jean Malekani Mukulire

“…Chemical, biological and pharmacological properties of those plants could be likely to help great apes healing from different bacteria, viruses and other pathogens. Given both the phylogenetic proximity of great apes and humans and the small proportion of wild plant species known by humans in the tropical forest, the observation of the diet of a species of great apes still very less known, such as the gorillas of the East, could lead to the discovery of new plants that may be useful for human health.…”

Disease burden of influenza in Spain: A five-season study (2015–2020) by Iván Sanz-Muñoz, Irene Arroyo-Hernantes, Alejandro Martín-Toribio, Marina Toquero-Asensio, Javier Sánchez-Martínez, Carla Rodríguez-Crespo, Silvia Rojo-Rello, Marta Domínguez-Gil, Marta Hernández-Pérez, Eduardo Tamayo, Ruth Gil-Prieto, Ángel Gil-de-Miguel, José M Eiros

“…In this period, approximately 7.8% of those hospitalized required ICU admission, and 5.7% died in the hospital due to influenza, with wide differences in these parameters depending on the season due to the virological characteristics of the major circulating viruses. More than 60% of those hospitalized were over 65 years of age, and approximately 82% of those who died were elderly, demonstrating that the greatest burden of hospitalization and mortality is centered on this age group. …”
