Experimental Lagos bat virus infection in straw-colored fruit bats: A suitable model for bat rabies in a natural reservoir species.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Rabies is a fatal neurologic disease caused by lyssavirus infection. Bats are important natural reservoir hosts of various lyssaviruses that can be transmitted to people.

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Air-Coupled Ultrasound Systems for Biomedical Applications: Advances in Sensors, Electronic Interfaces and Signal Processing Strategies

Sensors
Air-coupled ultrasound (ACU) is emerging as a fully non-contact sensing modality in biomedical applications. ACU applications can be broadly classified into two main domains: (i) contactless monitoring of physiological parameters and (ii) assistive aids,

Serological evidence of arenavirus circulation among fruit bats in Trinidad.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Tacaribe virus (TCRV) was isolated in the 1950s from artibeus bats captured on the island of Trinidad. The initial characterization of TCRV suggested that artibeus bats were natural reservoir hosts.

Ensemble composition and activity levels of insectivorous bats in response to management intensification in coffee agroforestry systems. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Shade coffee plantations have received attention for their role in biodiversity conservation. Bats are among the most diverse mammalian taxa in these systems; however, previous studies of bats in coffee plantations have focused on the largely herbivorous

Task‐Oriented Path Planning Towards Autonomous Sensor Network Deployment in Rainforest Canopies

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
An informative path planner for drone‐based deployment of wireless sensor networks in rainforest canopies is presented, addressing key challenges in large‐scale biodiversity monitoring. By integrating canopy surface detection with connectivity‐aware sampling under strict flight constraints, the approach enables efficient and reliable aerial sensor ...

Hybrid AI–Taguchi–ANOVA Approach for Thermographic Monitoring of Electronic Devices

Eng
Defects in printed circuit boards (PCBs), if not detected promptly, may persist over time until they cause the failure of critical components. Traditional monitoring methods, which are limited to simulations or superficial measurements, obstruct ...
