Abstract Influenzavirus is among the most relevant candidates for a next pandemic. We review here the phylogeny of former influenza pandemics, and discuss candidate lineages. After briefly reviewing the other existing antiviral options, we discuss in detail the evidences supporting the efficacy of passive immunotherapies against influenzavirus, with...

Abstract Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose significant threats to global public health by causing a spectrum of diseases ranging from mild febrile illnesses to severe neurological complications. Understanding the intricate interplay between arboviruses and the immune system within the central nervous system is crucial for developing effective...

Abstract Since the identification of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in 1983, many improvements have been made to control viral replication in the peripheral blood and to treat opportunistic infections. This has increased life expectancy but also the incidence of age-related central nervous system (CNS) disorders and HIV-associated neurodegeneration/neurocognitive...

Abstract Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) viral escape rarely occurs when HIV is detected in the CSF, while it is undetectable in the blood plasma or detectable in CSF at levels that exceed those in the blood plasma. We conducted this review to comprehensively synthesise its clinical presentation, diagnosis, management strategies and treatment outcomes. A...
