DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2024.05.023 In a new study, Yale researchers identify the targets in the human body to which pathogens transmitted by mosquitoes, ticks, and other vectors bind. Their findings, they say, could help address the rising threat of vector-borne diseases, a leading cause of death worldwide. The study was published in Cell. “We wanted to better understand the precise mechanisms by which pathogens interact with humans to infect the host and cause disease,” said first author Thomas Hart, Ph.D., postdoctoral associate at Yale School of Medicine Read More
