Do repetitive nontreated episodes of grade 1B or 2 acute rejection impair long-term cardiac graft function?
Although mortality was higher for patients with more severe episodes of acute rejection, only repetitive nontreated episodes of grade 1B or 2 rejection significantly impaired long-term graft function.
Together, the combined effects led to a relative reduction in vectorial capacity (a measure of the transmission potential of a mosquito population) in the low food treatment of 70%. This study highlights the need to consider environmental variation at the larval stages to better understand transmission dynamics and control of vector-borne diseases.
