Transmission and Infection of Arboviruses
Worldwide, the most important arboviruses are chikungunya, dengue, Japanese encephalitis, Mayaro, West Nile, Zika, and Ross River viruses. A significant public health threat is posed by these viruses around the world, which threaten more than 3.6 billion people. In recent decades, scientists have revealed many issues with arboviruses and established approaches, allowing us to fight the diseases more effectively. However, old and new problems continue to haunt us, motivating us to develop new approaches to fight these diseases. A growing number of arboviruses have been detected in different regions of the world, emphasizing the need to better understand how these viruses are transmitted and infect.

Nutrition, Metabolism and Infection
The role of nutritional status in the risk and course of infection is actively being investigated. Being involved in the normal function and modulation of all the biological processes, including the maintenance of healthy mucosal barriers and immune responses, macro - and micro - nutrients have a pleiotropic effect on the host health. During the last decade, it has been demonstrated that nutrients, or their lack of, influence the susceptibility to infection and how the metabolic changes that occur during host-pathogen interaction impact on pathogen proliferation and pathogenicity.
Untargeted Alternative Routes of Arbovirus Transmission
Arboviruses have become global threats. Common to Dengue, Zika, yellow fever, chikungunya, and Mayaro viruses is their ability to be transmitted by mosquitoes. Several strategies based on transgenics or microbiology are currently being field-tested. While this approach seems hopeful, the research community needs to focus on potential backlash from these technologies to prevent failure. The aim of the Special Issue is to cover different transmission routes that are untargeted by the newly developed strategies to foresee limitations. Here, Fontenille & Powell gave their insights on how a mosquito species becomes a global vector, Yen & Failloux presented the limitations of Wolbachia-based popul...
Emerging Pathogens, An Issue of Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, E-Book

Topics covered in this issue include, but are not limited to West Nile Virus; Zika Virus; Ebola and Marburg Heamorrhagic Fever; Rift Valley Fever; Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriacae; Closteridium Difficuile; and Chikungunya, among others.
Feigin and Cherry's Textbook of Pediatric Infectious Diseases
Widely considered the premier text in pediatric infectious diseases, Feigin and Cherry's Textbook of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 9th Edition, provides authoritative, up-to-date coverage of this rapidly changing field. Extensively revised by Drs. James Cherry, Sheldon L. Kaplan, Gail J. Demmler-Harrison, William J. Steinbach, Peter J. Hotez, and new editor John V. Williams, this two-volume reference delivers the information you need on epidemiology, public health, preventive medicine, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and much more. It serves as a reliable, everyday resource for practicing ID specialists, and an invaluable reference for medical students, residents, and fellows...
Japanese Encephalitis and West Nile Viruses
Japanese encephalitis and West Nile viruses are members of the Japanese encephalitis serological group of the genus Flavivirus and therefore closely related genetically and antigenically. They share a number of properties, including the use of birds as their major wildlife maintenance host and Culicine mosquitoes for transmission, and they are both associated with severe human disease, as well as fatal infections in horses. The emergence of these two viruses, and their well-established propensity to colonise new areas, make it timely to re-examine their ecology, biology, molecular structure, replication and epidemiology, and these therefore provide the focus of this volume.
Critical Needs and Gaps in Understanding Prevention, Amelioration, and Resolution of Lyme and Other Tick-Borne Diseases
A single tick bite can have debilitating consequences. Lyme disease is the most common disease carried by ticks in the United States, and the number of those afflicted is growing steadily. If left untreated, the diseases carried by ticks-known as tick-borne diseases-can cause severe pain, fatigue, neurological problems, and other serious health problems. The Institute of Medicine held a workshop October 11-12, 2010, to examine the state of the science in Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases.
