Aflatoxin binders in foods for human consumption—Can this be promoted safely and ethically?
The planet’s mean air and ocean temperatures have been rising over the last century because of increasing greenhouse gas emissions. These changes have substantial effects on the epidemiology of infectious diseases. We describe direct and indirect processes linking climate change and infectious di...

Arboviral diseases are responsible for a high burden of disease in humans, and a significant part of disease risk reduction efforts relies on vector control methods. The elimination of potential breeding sites for the mosquito vectors and a higher level of literacy by the populations at risk coul...

Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a zoonotic vector-borne disease present in much of Africa,
and the Arabic peninsula. During outbreaks, the case fatality is high in young
ruminants and there may be abortion storms, human disease is usually mild but
some may suffer fatal hemorrhagic fever. Outbreaks in ...
