    Abstract Mosquito-borne viruses increasingly threaten human populations due to accelerating changes in climate, human and mosquito migration, and land use practices. Over the last three decades, the global distribution of dengue has rapidly expanded, causing detrimental health and economic problems in many areas of the world. To develop effective disease control measures and plan for future epidemics, there is an urgent need to map the current and future transmission potential of dengue across both endemic and emerging areas. Expanding and applying Index P, a previously developed mosquito-borne viral suitability measure, we map the global climate-driven transmission potential of dengue virus transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes from 1981 to 2019. This database of dengue transmission suitability maps and an R package for Index P estimations are offered to the public health community as resources towards the identification of past, current and future transmission hotspots. These resources and the studies they facilitate can contribute to the planning of disease control and prevention strategies, especially in areas where surveillance is unreliable or non-existent.

    Abstract The growing emergence of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) HIV drug resistance in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) led to the World Health Organization (WHO) recommending, in 2018, a transition to dolutegravir (DTG) as a first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) in SSA. The broad HIV-1 genetic diversity in SSA could shape DTG effectiveness and the pattern of drug resistance mutations (DRMs) in this region. This study evaluated HIV-1 integrase (IN) DRMs and conserved regions among published groups M, N, O, and P HIV-1 sequences spanning forty years of the HIV epidemic during the transition of DTG-based ART. Overall, we found low levels of integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-DRMs (<1%) across HIV groups between the years 1983 and 2023; however, it was unexpected to detect DRMs at statistically significantly higher frequencies in pre-INSTI (1983-2007) than in the INSTI (2008-2023) era. The variability of accessory INSTI-DRMs depended on the HIV subtypes, with implications for susceptibility to DTG. Our findings provide new perspectives on the molecular epidemiology and drug resistance profiles of INSTIs in SSA, emphasizing the need for ongoing surveillance and customized treatment approaches to address the continent's varied HIV subtypes and changing resistance patterns.

    Abstract Mpox, caused by viruses of the genus Orthopoxvirus, is an emerging threat to human and animal health. With increasing urbanization and more frequent interaction between humans and wild animals, the risk of Mpox transmission to humans has increased significantly. This review aims to examine in depth the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis of Mpox, with a special focus on recent discoveries and advances in understanding the disease. Molecular mechanisms involved in viral replication will be examined, as well as risk factors associated with interspecific transmission and spread of the disease in human populations. Currently available diagnostic methods will also be discussed, with a critical analysis of their limitations and possible future directions for improving the accuracy and timeliness of diagnosis. Finally, this review will explore the public health implications associated with Mpox, emphasizing the importance of epidemiological surveillance, vaccination, and emergency preparedness to prevent and manage possible outbreaks. Understanding the epidemiology and control strategies for Mpox is critical to protecting the health of human and animal communities and mitigating the risk of interspecific transmission and spread of the disease.

    Abstract Persistence of detectable viral RNA does not depend on the symptomatic status of the patients. Here we describe the case of a strongly immunocompromised patient living with a prolonged SARS-CoV-2 Alpha variant infection without showing any symptoms. The importance of our findings is that the persistence of infection with an old SARS-CoV-2 strain, in an immunocompromised host, may allow recombination events generating new viral variants whose pathogenicity cannot be predicted. Our observation calls for the urgent need for continuous monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 genomic evolution in immunocompromised patients.
