Blocking pathogen transmission at the source: reservoir targeted OspA-based vaccines against Borrelia burgdorferi
Control strategies are especially challenging for microbial diseases caused by pathogens that persist in wildlife reservoirs and use arthropod vectors to cycle amongst those species. One of the most relevant illnesses that pose a direct human health risk is Lyme disease; in the US, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently revised the probable number of cases by 10-fold, to 300,00...
متن کاملDietary Cholesterol Modulates Pathogen Blocking by Wolbachia
The bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis protects its hosts from a range of pathogens by limiting their ability to form infections inside the insect. This "pathogen blocking" could be explained by innate immune priming by the symbiont, competition for host-derived resources between pathogens and Wolbachia, or the direct modification of the cell or cellular environment by Wolbachia. Recent...
متن کاملPathogen Transmission and Clinic Scheduling
We developed a model of pathogen dissemination in the outpatient clinic that incorporates key kinetic aspects of the transmission process, as well as uncertainty regarding whether or not each incident patient is contagious. Assigning appointments late in the day to patients suspected of being infectious should decrease pathogen dissemination.

The American Midland Naturalist. 158 (2): 369-381. Wildlife Biologists work with one of the world’s top wolf specialists to explore the potential for using the wolf sanitation effect to manage elk disease. Specifically, this study ex...
متن کاملBlocking transmission of vector-borne diseases
Vector-borne diseases are responsible for significant health problems in humans, as well as in companion and farm animals. Killing the vectors with ectoparasitic drugs before they have the opportunity to pass on their pathogens could be the ideal way to prevent vector borne diseases. Blocking of transmission might work when transmission is delayed during blood meal, as often happens in ticks. T...
