Complex transmission epidemiology of neglected Australian arboviruses: diverse non-human vertebrate hosts and competent arthropod invertebrate vectors

Frontiers in Microbiology
More than 75 arboviruses are indigenous to Australia, of which at least 13 are known to cause disease in humans. Alphaviruses are the most common arboviruses, notably including Ross River and Barmah Forest viruses, which contribute a significant public ...

Composition and genomic organization of arthropod Hox clusters

EvoDevo, 2016
BackgroundThe ancestral arthropod is believed to have had a clustered arrangement of ten Hox genes. Within arthropods, Hox gene mutations result in transformation of segment identities.

Domestic Arthropods and Their Allergens

Protein & Peptide Letters, 2007
Allergy prevalence has increased worldwide over the last 25 years along with industrialization and westernized lifestyles. Indoor allergens are primarily responsible for the sensitization and development of atopic diseases. The main indoor allergens are known to be derived from various arthropods which account for up to 80% of the kingdom Animalia. The

Design of a Sustainable Polysaccharide‐Lignocellulosic‐Mineral Granular Biocomposite Sorbent for Methylene Blue Removal

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This manuscript describes the preparation of four types of spent coffee ground‐based adsorbents. Herein, the influence of the alkali pre‐treatment step (different NaOH concentrations) as well as the effect of crosslinking with epichlorohydrin is described.

Potential and limitations of X-Ray micro-computed tomography in arthropod neuroanatomy: A methodological and comparative survey

The Journal of comparative neurology, 2015
Classical histology or immunohistochemistry combined with fluorescence or confocal laser scanning microscopy are common techniques in arthropod neuroanatomy, and these methods often require time‐consuming and difficult dissections and sample preparations.

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.
