    Enhancing vector refractoriness to trypanosome infection: achievements, challenges and perspectives
    (BMC, 2018-01-01) Kariithi, Henry M.; Meki, Irene K.; Schneider, Daniela I.; De Vooght, Linda; Khamis, Fathiya M.; Geiger, Anne; Demirbas-Uzel, Guler; Vlak, Just M.; Ince, Ikbal Agah; Kelm, Sorge; Njiokou, Flobert; Wamwiri, Florence N.; Malele, Imna I.; Weiss, Brian L.; Abd-Alla, Adly M. M.
    With the absence of effective prophylactic vaccines and drugs against African trypanosomosis, control of this group of zoonotic neglected tropical diseases depends the control of the tsetse fly vector. When applied in an area-wide insect pest management approach, the sterile insect technique (SIT) is effective in eliminating single tsetse species from isolated populations. The need to enhance the effectiveness of SIT led to the concept of investigating tsetse-trypanosome interactions by a consortium of researchers in a five-year (2013-2018) Coordinated Research Project (CRP) organized by the Joint Division of FAO/IAEA. The goal of this CRP was to elucidate tsetse-symbiome-pathogen molecular interactions to improve SIT and SIT-compatible interventions for trypanosomoses control by enhancing vector refractoriness. This would allow extension of SIT into areas with potential disease transmission. This paper highlights the CRP's major achievements and discusses the science-based perspectives for successful mitigation or eradication of African trypanosomosis.

    The Role of Microbiologic Agents in the Progression of the Atherosclerosis: a Comprehensive Review
    (DIGITAL COMMONS BEPRESS, 2020-01-01) Karabulut, Ahmet
    Atherosclerosis is a leading cause of disability, morbidity and mortality in the world. Atherosclerosis is accepted as a chronic progressive inflammatory disease. The inflammatory cascade in the vascular wall is well-defined. However, the predictors and contributors of the inflammatory response in atherosclerosis are not completely understood. Systemic and local inflammation, which enhance the burden of inflammation in the vascular wall, have been proposed as risk factors for the progression of atherosclerosis. Infectious micro-organisms are one of the major triggering factors for local and systemic inflammation. In this review, we aimed to emphasize the linkage between micro-organisms and the progression of atherosclerosis. We briefly summarize the current medical literature and discuss the future perspectives of the linkage between microbial agents and atherosclerosis representing cause and effect.
