  Etiologic agents of arboviral diseases are primarily zoonotic pathogens that are maintained in nature in cycles involving arthropod transmission among a variety of susceptible reservoir hosts.
  In the simplest form of human exposure, spillover occurs from the enzootic cycle when humans enter zoonotic foci and/or enzootic amplification increases circulation near humans.
  Examples include Eastern equine (...)

• translation diseases
  4 February 2006

  Definition: Pathology of RNA translation.
  The list of genetic diseases caused by mutations that affect mRNA translation is rapidly growing. Although protein synthesis is a fundamental process in all cells, the disease phenotypes show a surprising degree of heterogeneity.
  Studies of some of these diseases have provided intriguing new insights into the functions of proteins involved in the process of translation; for example, evidence suggests that several have other functions in addition (...)

• conformational diseases
  15 April 2005

  The conformation of proteins is maintained by the tight packing of their amino-acid side-chains; even small changes that result from the replacement of a single amino acid can be sufficient to allow conformational unfolding. This is especially true of some key domains of functional proteins, and is well illustrated by the serpins.
  Many diseases arise from mutations that primarily affect neither expression nor function, but result in a protein with decreased conformational stability.
