Phage therapy offers a possible alternative\, but a downside is the ability for target bacter ia to evolve phage resistance. Our goal is to develop phages that steer e volutionary ‘trade-offs’: these viruses bind to virulence factors of targ et bacteria to select for phage-resistance that compromises the function of structures responsible for bacterial pathogenicity. This approach is d emonstrated in personalized medicine\, where phage ‘steering’ in patients provides clinical benefits\, such as changing the infecting bacteria to become re-sensitized to chemical antibiotics and decreasing their ability to cause tissue inflammation.

Vaccine development to prevent de ngue has been hampered by the Janus nature of our immune response to deng ue viruses (DENVs) – protection against disease on the one hand but on th e other\, enhancement of DENV infection and disease severity. Differentia ting immune responses protective against dengue from those that enhance D ENV infection is thus a foundation critical for evidence-based dengue vac cine development and application\, but which remains a gap in knowledge. In this presentation\, we will review the lessons that can be drawn on pr otective immune response against dengue from vaccines and vaccine candida tes that have completed phase III clinical trials\, as well as experiment al medicine evidence that we have generated. We will discuss the notion t hat dengue immunity\, like those of several other acute viral diseases\, cannot be understood without considering the immune response to infection holistically.

The drivers of these distinct pathologies are not well unders tood. Previously\, we demonstrated that bites from a Leishmania -infected sand fly initiates a vector-specific acute and intense host immune respo nse driven by inflammasome-dependent IL1b production. We also established that prolonged bleeding during feeding of the vector sand fly controls t his inflammation through induction of the cytoprotective enzyme\, hemeoxy genase-1. Both events contribute to parasite survival and establishment i n the host\, and account\, in part\, for the enhanced virulence of vector -transmitted parasites. We now show the differential production of a nonc anonical p40 NT-GSDMD fragment in response to L. mexicana -infected bites that was less pronounced after vector-transmission of L. major . This tr anslated into a robust production of IL-33 after L. mexicana -infected bi tes that was not reproduced following needle injection of the parasites. We hypothesize that the association between IL-33 and type 2 immunity may allude to a new pathway that favors development of non-healing chronic C L. Investigating the interactions occurring at the site of Leishmania -in fected vector bites continues to reveal key insights into the drivers of leishmaniasis pathology.
