Panoramic view of diversity and function of cuticular proteins in insects and mosquitoes biology

Frontiers in Insect Science
AimThe insect cuticle, vital for structural maintenance, forms their exoskeleton. It is mainly composed of an intermesh of – structural cuticle proteins (CPs) with polysaccharide chitin. The insect CPs encoded by CP genes are indispensable for morphology,

Repurposing Drugs for Malaria through a Human Dose Prediction: A Case Study with Berzosertib

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Repurposing drugs whose clinical safety has been established offers a valuable approach to reduce the cost and time associated with the development of new drugs for malaria. Here, we investigate the potential to repurpose the anticancer kinase inhibitor berzosertib for the treatment of malaria, by assessing whether a predicted efficacious human dose ...

Entomological Surveillance of Behavioural Resilience and Resistance in Residual Malaria Vector Populations. [PDF]

, 2013
The most potent malaria vectors rely heavily upon human blood so they are vulnerable to attack with insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) within houses. Mosquito taxa that can avoid feeding or resting indoors, or by obtaining

Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration

Ecography, EarlyView.
Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.

Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...
