Machine Learning‐Assisted Infectious Disease Detection in Low‐Income Areas: Toward Rapid Triage of Dengue and Zika Virus Using Open‐Source Hardware

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
This study introduces an affordable machine learning platform for simultaneous dengue and zika detection using fluorine‐doped tin oxide thin films modified with gold nanoparticles and DNA aptamers. Designed for low‐cost, hardware‐limited devices (< $25), the model achieves 95.3% accuracy and uses only 9.4 kB of RAM, demonstrating viability for resource‐

Taking a bite out of nutrition and arbovirus infection

open access: yesPLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Nutrition is a key factor in host-pathogen defense. Malnutrition can increase both host susceptibility and severity of infection through a number of pathways, and infection itself can promote nutritional deterioration and further susceptibility. Nutritional status can also strongly influence response to vaccination or therapeutic pharmaceuticals ...

Larvicidal Activity of Phytochemicals From Handroanthus impetiginosus Seeds Against Culex quinquefasciatus

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
The hexane extract was obtained from the seeds of H. impetiginosus, from which fatty acids and FAMEs were obtained. The three samples were tested on C. quinquefasciatus larvae, promoting mortality with moderate LC50 values. The hexane extract was analyzed by gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC‐MS), and the most abundant compounds were ethyl oleate (

The impact of autophagy on arbovirus infection of mosquito cells

open access: yesPLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Macroautophagy is an evolutionarily conserved cellular process critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis. It can additionally function as an innate immune response to viral infection as has been demonstrated for a number of arthropod-borne (arbo-) viruses.

Adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma in French Guiana (1990–2019): Epidemiology, clinical features, and HTLV‐1 genetic diversity in the two main ethnic populations

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is a rare and aggressive malignancy caused by human T‐cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV‐1). The authors comprehensively analyzed the epidemiological and clinical features of ATL over a 30‐year period in French Guiana, a region with high HTLV‐1 endemicity and a multiethnic population.
