Podcasts about West Nile

Dr. Vivian Vega, Assistant Professor at the USF Morsani College of Medicine, presents a discussion about infections of the central nervous system. Dr. Vega begins by discussing encephalitis. Pathogens discussed include Herpes Simplex virus, West Nile virus, Enterovirus, Varicella Zoster, Arboviruses and Rabies. Next, bacterial meningitis is addressed. Lastly, causes of chronic meningitis are elucidated, and Eosiniphilic and health-care associated meningitis are briefly discussed.

These diseases - West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever - are named for the places where outbreaks happened. But they're also all things you get from being bitten by mosquitoes or ticks.

Send us a textGenetic & environmental factors that affect brain health, including why people age faster in outer space. (Note: technical difficulties affected the audio quality of this recording somewhat)Episode Summary: Dr. Jacob Raber explains how apolipoproteins, particularly ApoE, influence brain health and disease risk; their role in cholesterol metabolism, Alzheimer's disease, and responses to environmental stressors like radiation and viral infections; interplay between genetics, diet, and lifestyle factors, highlighting how these affect cognitive function and resilience to stress; research into space radiation, the gut-brain axis, and potential interventions for neurodegenerative diseases.About the guest: Jacob Raber, PhD, is a neuroscientist at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland, where he leads a lab studying genetic and environmental influences on brain health, particularly using mouse models with human genes.Discussion Points:Apolipoproteins (ApoE2, E3, E4) are proteins involved in cholesterol and lipid metabolism in the brain, with ApoE4 increasing risks for Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease.ApoE4 carriers may face higher risks for cognitive decline but could have advantages in specific contexts, like fertility or certain infections.Environmental stressors, such as space radiation and viral infections like West Nile, can exacerbate oxidative stress, impacting brain health.The gut microbiome influences brain function indirectly via the gut-liver-brain axis, with ongoing studies exploring its role in Alzheimer's and traumatic brain injury.Lifestyle factors like diet, exercise, and sleep are critical for brain health, potentially mitigating genetic risks like ApoE4.Statins, commonly used for cholesterol management, may impair learning in healthy animals, suggesting context-dependent effects.Research into space radiation reveals potential therapeutic applications, such as using heavy ion radiation for cancer treatment.Genetic variations, including ethnicity and sex, influence ApoE-related disease risks, with women and certain populations showing higher Alzheimer's susceptibility.Chronic low-level stressors, like air pollution, may pose greater risks to brain health than acute exposures due to insufficient activation of protective mechanisms.Related content:M&M 165: PUFAs in Brain Health & Disease, Dietary Fats, Brain Lipids, Nutrition | Richard Bazinet*Not medical adviceSupport the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

Today is Friday, September 26. Here are some of the latest headlines from the Fargo, North Dakota area. InForum Minute is produced by Forum Communications and brought to you by reporters from The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead and WDAY TV. For more news from throughout the day, visit InForum.com.

A growing number of state lawmakers are calling for the immediate resignation of Fayette County Public Schools' Superintendent Demetrus Liggins and Board Chair Tyler Murphy,  a high-ranking Kentucky lawmaker is proposing to make handgun "conversion devices" illegal at the state level, and  more cases of West Nile virus are now confirmed in Central Kentucky.

Carson and Jeff sit down with John Veon (UC Davis PhD candidate, wetlands & waterfowl) and Andy Atkinson (manager, Bird Haven Ranch) to unpack a five-year experiment in integrated wetland management—using swales, shorter irrigations, and year-round connectivity to cut mosquito production while boosting macroinvertebrates and duck use.What you'll learnWhy the Valley needs a reset: California flipped its natural water rhythm and now only ~7–10% of naturally functioning wetlands remain—so managers are rebuilding function, not replicas.How the system works: keep wet swales connected through summer and swap 10-day irrigations for ~5-day (or less) pulses to protect annuals (think Timothy), grow food plants, and starve mosquito cycles.Predators, not spray: longer access to water (≈140 days vs. ~20) grows dragonfly/other predators that hammer larvae—nature doing the heavy lifting.Public health partnership: day-to-day coordination with Butte County Mosquito & Vector Control aligns human health (West Nile) with better wetlands.Running cheaper, smarter: timing pumps at night avoids brutal demand charges and still feeds the swales—biology and the power bill pulling the same way.Water source matters: colder well water slows bug production; lift-pump or warmer sources can change bird use patterns.Measuring results: wood-duck fecal DNA diet work, USGS telemetry, and game-camera grids track how birds and wildlife actually respond.If you manage a club pond, volunteer on public ground, or just want sharper habitat instincts, this episode lays out a clear, field-tested blueprint you can scale to your place.

Hey Poison Friends! I know I promised a lot for this one episode, including West Nile, Zika, EEE, and Malaria. The truth is, malaria is just a huge topic on its own and instead of keeping you all here for hours at one time, we are discussing malaria in all of its old and new world glory, so to speak. I will be adding an extra bonus on our Patreon later this week that will be free for all for those still interested in West Nile/Zika, so come check that out there. The parasite that causes malaria is actually older than us humans and since humans entered the scene, they have been our nemesis. Mosquitoes are known to be, historically, the deadliest animal simply because of how many people have died due to malaria that they have transmitted. We are discussing the history of humankind vs mosquito/malaria and how various people groups of different eras attempted to deal with the disease. From the ancient Egyptians, to the Greeks, the Romans, ancient China, and those living throughout the middle ages in Europe. Previous notions were that malaria came from "bad air" and, in fact, the name comes from the Italian for "bad air." The Miasma and Humors theories were still prevalent in medicine, of course, until the true means of infection were discovered in the late 1800s. Also, we cannot leave out its historic prevalence in Africa and its later history among the American colonies, the Native Americans (indigenous groups in North and South America), Oceania, and among and throughout the African slave trade. History has been a doozy, lets be honest, and mosquitoes (and malaria) have witnessed it all. They even had their effects on historical events like the Fall of Rome, the Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWII, etc. We are delving into the science as well, discussing who discovered its causal agent and who found how it was transmitted via mosquito. Needless to say, the war with malaria has been awful through the centuries and in Sub-Saharan Africa, it still is. The disease is also still prevalent in Southeast Asia and in South America. So what have been the historic methods of treatment and how far have we come in this fight? Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters!

Josh Sigurdson reports on the news of Covid Masks returning in western California as the CDC claims the west coast is at "high" of "very high" levels of so-called "Covid." This news comes as the UK plans the largest pandemic exercise in history (Exercise Pegasus) and Trump meets with Bill Gates. As we move into the autumn, this propaganda will only become louder. This year, the medical establishment and media are working overtime to fear monger about new pandemics, from the Bubonic Plague to Bird Flu, West Nile, Dengue, Chikungungya, Measles, Monkeypox and of course the infamous "SARS-CoV2." As per usual, there are no isolates, there is wastewater data which is heavily utilizing PCR tests which we already know are fraudulent when it comes to direct diagnosis. RFK Jr just sat through another hearing and insisted the covid injections will remain available for everyone. So far the only "justice" we've seen is a warning label for some. Meanwhile, 4 new mRNA Vaccines have been approved for children 6 months to 11 years old. While just 2 weeks ago, President Trump claimed he didn't get enough credit for Operation Warp Speed which disabled 36 million Americans and claimed that it was one of the greatest achievements in American history, claiming it was a "military procedure," he claimed just days later that he may have been mislead about the Vaccines. Wow... 5 and a half years later he thinks he may have been mislead. The fact that people are actually excited about this statement says a lot. How completely asleep does someone have to be to only slightly question the vaccines 5 and a half years later? This isn't an accomplishment, it's embarassing. Besides, he's demanding big pharma show proof of the vaccines' success, not failures. Don't get too hung up on this thinking this will be the end of big pharma. Emergency orders planned for the future "pandemics" are readily in place regardless of the president, but it's clear that Trump is either years behind and stupid OR an evil fraud pretending to start to question this NOW.

Wednesday August 20th is World Mosquito Day - and it may seem strange to set aside a day for an insect which accounts for around a million deaths a year. Nearly 700 million people contract mosquito-borne illnesses every year. The mosquitoes act as vectors, carrying bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause illness in humans. Malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, Zika virus, West Nile virus, and Japanese encephalitis are some of the most prominent diseases spread by mosquitoes. Things have improved, however - according to one survey, nearly half the world population was at significant risk from malaria in the 19th century with a 10% mortality among those infected. Today, it's feared global warming could potentially lead to a wider spread of mosquito-borne diseases due to increased mosquito populations and geographic range. Professor Beth McGraw is the head of biology at Penn State University in the US - she admits having a special day for such a killer seems odd at first glance.
