The formation of highly drug-resistant cysts in chronic infection further complicates treatment. Currently, prolonged combination therapy with topical biguanides and aromatic diamidines remains the mainstay of treatment. However, recent evidence supports the use of topical biguanide monotherapy (in higher concentrations) in AK with comparable outcomes to combination treatment. Adjunctive therapies, including azoles, miltefosine, and corticosteroids, may be beneficial in refractory disease. Surgical interventions, such as therapeutic keratoplasty, are often required in advanced or non-responsive cases. The choice of therapy is frequently empirical, guided by clinician experience and drug availability. Emerging therapeutic approaches, including antimicrobial peptides, synthetic polymers, bioactive natural compounds, and ultraviolet C therapy, show promise as more effective or better-tolerated alternatives.

Due to commonly higher MICs, antifungal therapy with itraconazole and isavuconazole may have reduced efficacy, and alternatives such as voriconazole or posaconazole should be considered, guided by susceptibility testing where available.

The rise of CVA6 is of particular public health concern due to its association with atypical and severe clinical presentations, including extensive vesiculobullous eruptions and neurological complications. These diverse and often non-classical manifestations, which also occur in adults, complicate clinical diagnosis and highlight the need for enhanced molecular surveillance. Furthermore, the potential impact of enteroviral infection during pregnancy and on neonatal outcomes remains an important clinical consideration. While both structural and non-structural proteins of CVA6 are known to contribute to viral virulence, the underlying pathogenic mechanisms are not fully understood. Continuous evolution of CVA6 through genetic variation and frequent recombination has led to the emergence of distinct lineages and recombinants, posing substantial challenges to the development of effective antivirals and vaccines. To address these gaps, this review systematically examines the global epidemiology, pathogenic mechanisms, evolutionary dynamics, current diagnostic tools, and antiviral strategies for CVA6.

It typically begins with a sudden onset of high fever, headache, and malaise, followed by severe gastrointestinal symptoms, bleeding disorders, and, in the most severe cases, multi-organ failure. Case fatality rates vary widely, from 24% up to 90%. MARV and RAVV are zoonotic pathogens, with fruit bats recognized as the main reservoir. Human-to-human transmission generally occurs through direct exposure to infected bodily fluids. Historically, MVD outbreaks were primarily restricted to Central and Eastern Africa. In recent years, however, the disease has appeared in new regions: Ghana recorded its first cases in 2022, followed by concurrent outbreaks in Equatorial Guinea and Tanzania in 2023. Rwanda and Ethiopia experienced their debut outbreaks in 2024 and 2025, respectively, and another outbreak occurred in early 2025 in Tanzania. These incidents point to a troubling rise in annual MVD outbreaks and emphasize the ongoing risk of spillover from wildlife reservoirs and continued human-to-human transmission. Currently, there are no approved vaccines or antiviral treatments for MVD. Patient care focuses on supportive therapies, including aggressive fluid resuscitation, management of blood pressure and circulation, and intensive critical care. Nonetheless, promising countermeasures, such as monoclonal antibodies and antiviral drugs, are advancing through research and clinical trials. Experimental vaccines, particularly those based on viral-vector technologies, have demonstrated robust immune responses and are undergoing human testing.

Unlike ocular or cutaneous pythiosis, the vascular form is defined by arterial wall invasion, long-segment thrombosis, limb ischemia, aneurysmal complications, and high risks of amputation and death. Although <i>P. insidiosum</i> is broadly distributed in freshwater environments, reported human vascular disease remains concentrated in Thailand, indicating that exposure alone is insufficient for disease development. Available evidence supports a multifactorial model centered on repeated freshwater exposure and host susceptibility, particularly hemoglobinopathies and iron dysregulation, while the rarity of comparable vascular disease elsewhere remains unexplained. Because vascular-specific mechanistic data are limited, evidence from animal pythiosis, nonvascular human disease, environmental studies, genomic analyses, and experimental models must be interpreted selectively and linked explicitly to vascular pathogenesis, diagnosis, or management. Infection usually begins at sites of skin disruption after freshwater exposure and progresses through soft tissue and perivascular planes into the arterial wall. Longitudinal intramural extension, rather than typical hematogenous dissemination, explains long-segment arterial occlusion, proximal progression, and relapse after incomplete source control. Diagnosis requires early suspicion, serology, vascular imaging, and tissue-based confirmation. Management depends on prompt and complete surgical removal of infected arterial tissue, supported by adjunctive protein-synthesis-inhibiting antibacterial therapy, particularly when residual disease is suspected.

Complementary analyses of human clinical specimens and experimental animal models, including cats and ferrets, have provided critical insights into the immunopathogenesis of SFTS. The recent identification of additional tick-borne viruses, including Oz virus (OZV), Yezo virus (YEZV), and Alongshan virus (ALSV), has further expanded the spectrum of emerging infections in this region. Notably, pathological investigation of a fatal human case of OZV infection demonstrated direct viral localization within cardiomyocytes, establishing a causal link between infection and fulminant myocarditis and highlighting a distinct organ-specific pathogenic mechanism. Despite the advances in genomic technologies that enable rapid detection of novel viruses, establishing causal relationships between viral presence and disease remains a major challenge. Tissue-based pathological approaches, particularly <i>in situ</i> localization of viral components, are, therefore, essential for defining disease mechanisms and confirming etiological roles. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of tick-borne viral infections in East Asia, with particular emphasis on Japan, integrating pathological, virological, and clinical perspectives.

Over time, these viruses have expanded their host range, causing huge losses in domestic poultry, spreading among wild bird populations, and occasionally infecting humans. Understanding how influenza viruses adapt and cross species barriers depends on analyzing their fundamental molecular characteristics. Key features such as the polybasic cleavage site within the hemagglutinin protein and the distinctive \"1+7\" ribonucleoprotein complex, which consists of a single polymerase core surrounded by seven RNA segments, enhance viral replication and broaden host range. Despite decades of intervention, including lessons from the 1997 Hong Kong outbreak and the continued global circulation of clade 2.3.4.4b, HPAI remains difficult to control. A major shift occurred in 2024, when H5N1 was detected in U.S. dairy cattle. This was the first confirmed instance of viral shedding into milk from a mammalian host, suggesting a new potential route of transmission beyond the traditional avian reservoirs. This review unites historical milestones, structural insights, epidemiological data, and recent cross-species findings to better define the current landscape of risk and transmission.
