Ticks are seco nd only to mosquitos as vectors of human disease and are the most common vectors for disease in wild and domestic animals. Lyme disease\, transmit ted primarily by the Ixodes scapularis tick\, is the most common vector-b orne disease in the United States. Six other human pathogens are transmit ted by this tick\, one of which is Babesia microti\, the primary etiology of human babesiosis. By most measures\, the health burden of Lyme diseas e is greater than that of babesiosis\, however\, both the severity of acu te illness and the in-patient hospital costs of babesiosis are greater th an those of Lyme disease. Lyme disease and babesiosis are worldwide emerg ing infections with a significant health impact.\n\nSpeaker:\nPeter Kraus e\n\nAdmission:\nFree\n\nFood:\n\n\nDetails URL:\nhttps://medicine.yale.e du/event/emd-seminar-series-4/\n DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230913T130000 DTSTAMP:20260524T054025Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230913T120000 GEO:41.303666;-72.932218 LOCATION:Yale School of Public Health (LEPH)\, Winslow Auditorium\, 60 Col lege Street\, New Haven\, CT\, United States RECURRENCE-ID;TZID=America/New_York:20230913T120000 SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:Confirmed SUMMARY:EMD Seminar Series: Peter Krause\, "Tick-borne disease: The health burden of Lyme disease and babesiosis" UID:82c83967-cded-44d1-97e9-b8a9656e37f1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:Three highly pathogenic coronaviruses – SARS-CoV-1 in 2002\, M ERS-CoV in 2012\, and SARS-CoV-2 in 2019 – from the genus Betacoronavirus emerged into immune naïve humans which underlines the global public heal th threat posed by Betacoronaviruses. A major focus of our work relates t o the design of next generation “universal” coronavirus vaccines approach es. We developed chimeric spike mRNAs that protect in vivo against SARS-C oV-2 variants and bat zoonotic SARS1-related viruses. We have defined vul nerable regions in SARS-CoV-2 and bat SARS1-related spikes that are targe ts of human broadly neutralizing antibodies. The identification of highly conserved epitopes in the spike RBD led us to recently develop multivale nt nanoparticle vaccines that express receptor binding domains (RBDs) fro m both SARS-related and MERS-related viruses. We recently demonstrated th at a single vaccine protects in mice against both lethal SARS-CoV-1 and h ighly pathogenic MERS-CoV challenge and neutralized SARS-CoV-2 variants i ncluding XBB.1.5. A trivalent RBD nanoparticle vaccine elicits broadly cr oss-reactive antibodies. Thus\, a single vaccine protects against Group 2 B/2C Betacoronavirus challenge in mice.

In most cases we do not k now the causative agents or the infectious history prior to hydrocephalus . In Uganda\, we have found that the most common organism associated with postinfectious hydrocephalus was a novel strain of Paenibacillus thiamin olyticus\, deriving from a newly described neonatal sepsis syndrome – Neo natal Paenibacilliosis. The organism is highly neurotropic and the mortal ity in neonates is high. The risk of infection is environmentally driven and correlates with rainfall.

Given that there are no vaccines to prevent m ammalian infections\, reducing the tsetse populations has been an effecti ve to block disease. Aksoy’s research has helped develop interdisciplinar y approaches to understand critical determinants of disease transmission ranging from research on tsetse and trypanosome biology\; to population g enetics of tsetse\, symbionts\, and trypanosomes\; to disease epidemiolog y in Africa. Her research provided seminal information on tsetse physiolo gy and tsetse's obligate symbiosis with microbes\, and collectively ident ified multiple molecular targets to reduce tsetse populations. Her recent studies on trypanosome development processes focus on the development of transmission blocking approaches to curb disease at the mammalian bite s ite.

Rather\, simultaneous infections are the n orm. Infectious diseases have historically been studied one at a time\, b ut studies of concurrent infection (“coinfection”) are revealing the prof ound impact that pathogen-pathogen interactions can have on both the spre ad and impact of infectious diseases. This talk describes findings on the causes and consequences of pathogen interactions emerging from experimen tal and longitudinal studies of a wild mammal population.

It disproportionately affects disadvan taged populations\, both globally and within the United States. Globally\ , around 30% of people with tuberculosis are not properly diagnosed and t reated. Closing this diagnostic gap will require interventions that addre ss disparities in access to care and patient-centered services that meet the needs of people with tuberculosis. This talk presents recent research from Peru that seeks to improve equity and patient-centeredness in the d elivery of tuberculosis diagnostic services.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic\, there has been increased inv estment in preparedness and response for future pandemics. However\, ther e has been almost no investment in prevention of the zoonotic spillover e vent that triggers the pandemic in the first place—called primary pandemi c prevention. Almost all funding\, policy guidance\, and practice has foc used on reactive strategies aimed to mitigate outbreaks once a pathogen i s already circulating in humans. Although it is critical that we respond to and mitigate future pandemics\, we need to balance this focus with pre vention. One reason for the near absence of primary pandemic prevention i s the mistaken belief that spillover is unpredictable and unpreventable. However\, our work on Hendra virus in Australia has demonstrated that spi llover can be predicted and prevented. Using insights developed from know n pathogens like Hendra virus in Australia and Nipah virus in Bangladesh\ , we developed a set of strategies that should decrease the likelihood of emergence of Disease X in parts of the world where knowledge and data on reservoir hosts is poor. These proactively strategies can prevent spillo ver by addressing the fundamental processes that drive the transmission o f pathogens from animals to humans.

Nutrition plays a key role in the susceptibility to and severity of infection. This talk will highlight notable research demonstrating the impact of nutritional interventions on common childhood infections\, HIV /AIDS\, tuberculosis\, and malaria. However\, siloed programs have limite d the scale and sustainability of approaches to address these challenges. Multidisciplinary and cross-sector research\, implementation\, and educa tion are necessary to advance integrated solutions for improved maternal- child health and the control of infectious diseases.

Subsequent blood meals increase the capacity of vectors\, including sand flies\, to trans mit diseases by promoting contact with susceptible hosts. In this present ation\, I will discuss the impact of a second uninfected blood meal on Le ishmania development inside the sand fly gut\, focusing on the discovery of a new replicative stage known as the retroleptomonad. Additionally\, I will discuss how this parasite stage enhances sand fly infectiousness. F urthermore\, I will present our work on the characterization of host fact ors that mediate Leishmania genetic exchange in the sand fly gut and the surprising finding that “natural” IgM antibodies can bind to Leishmania p arasites and induce the formation of a parasite clumps\, which promote pa rasite fusion and hybrid formation in the sand fly vector.
