ABSTRACT Background and Aims Bangladesh has dramatically reduced its malaria burden since 2000, confining the disease to specific geographic zones. However, the national 2030 elimination goal is now threatened by a compl...

Abstract Background Anopheles pseudopunctipennis is the primary malaria vector in Mexico and is widely distributed nationwide. Understanding its developmental biology is crucial for interrupting malaria transmission. Met...

The widely-held view that the frequency of self-compatibility increases at higher elevations has been questioned for communities of the southern Andes. The study of pollination biology of obligate outcrossers with wide a...

Abstract Background The lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum, is a three-host species widely distributed across North America and a vector for multiple human pathogens. Bites from this tick is also associated with alpha-...

The classification of edible versus poisonous mushrooms presents a critical challenge in the domains of applied biology and public health, particularly due to the serious implications of misidentification. This research ...

Understanding the nutritional physiology of mosquito larvae is crucial for optimizing massrearing practices and improving control strategies. Here we combined complementary opticaland spectroscopic techniques, including ...

Abstract Background The ecdysone receptor (EcR) is a central regulator of mosquito physiology, best known for its role in vitellogenesis. However, its contribution to antiviral defense and dengue virus (DENV) replication...

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate Leishmania vectors and investigate the environmental and climatic characteristics related to their transmission. This was a prospective eco-epidemiological study involving t...

Mansonella ozzardi (Nematoda: Onchocercidae) is an understudied filarial nematode, originally described by Patrick Manson in 1897, that can be transmitted by two families of dipteran vectors, biting midges (most of them ...

The rising concern of antimicrobial resistance, coupled with the continually challenging management of complicated diseases such as cancer, has provided momentum toward precision molecular medicine. This review provides ...

Abstract Background Social mixing studies provide crucial evidence for parameterizing mathematical models of infectious disease transmission, and their validity for use in models is dependent on their study design and ho...

The developmental time of vector insects is important to their population dynamics, evolutionary biology, epidemiology of the diseases they transmit, and to their responses to global climatic change. In various triatomin...

Abstract Array programming provides a powerful, compact and expressive syntax for accessing, manipulating and operating on data in vectors, matrices and higher-dimensional arrays. NumPy is the primary array programming l...

Abstract Fascioliasis is a freshwater snail-borne zoonotic disease. The Northern Bolivian Altiplano is a very high altitude endemic area where the highest human prevalences and intensities have been reported. Preventive ...

A series of yeast shuttle vectors and host strains has been created to allow more efficient manipulation of DNA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Transplacement vectors were constructed and used to derive yeast strains contai...

An efficient and intuitive algorithm is presented for the design of vector quantizers based either on a known probabilistic model or on a long training sequence of data. The basic properties of the algorithm are discusse...
