The objective of this study was to evaluate the spatial risk of exposure to Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) infection of healthy blood donors in an enzootic region with a predicted risk gradient based on a virus-animal interaction risk model. We designed a cross-sectional study to test if the exposure pattern of the human population to CCHFV spatially matches the predicted risk. We randomly selected 1384 donors from different risk gradients and analyzed their sera searching for CCHFV antibodies. None of the selected blood donors showed exposure to CCHFV.This study shows that exposure risk spatial patterns, as predicted from animal-tickvirus models, does not necessarily match the pattern of human-infected tick interactions leading to CCHFV infection and CCHF cases, at least in a region of predicted moderate infection risk. The findings suggest that future studies should bear the potential drivers of tick-human encounter rates into account to more accurately predict risks.
Desde una perspectiva hispánica y comparatista, revisitamos el fenómeno de la ausencia de consenso en la terminología de los estudios de traducción, en particular en cuanto al uso de los conceptos clave original, texto fuente y versión. Reflexionamos cómo la supuesta sinonimia entre texto original y texto fuente y entre versión y traducción puede incidir en el rigor de la investigación, dificultar el trabajo de la crítica e impactar la didáctica de la traducción. Hacemos esta reflexión sin fines normativos, pero sí con la intención de convocar a un posible consenso en aras de una mayor precisión, entendimiento e incluso una discrepancia argumentada.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
