Food web structure and microenvironment affect Chagas disease vector infection and abundance in a rural landscape

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Vector‐borne pathogen transmission is shaped by multiple abiotic and biotic factors. Understanding the relative importance of these factors on vector abundance and infection is important for developing vector‐borne disease control strategies. The crown of the Attalea butyracea palm provides a natural arboreal mesocosm suitable for studying how

Morphometric study and sexual dimorphism analyses in an Iranian population of Scorpio maurus (Arachnida: Scorpionidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 22, Page 15630-15638, November 2021., 2021
Scorpio maurus was collected and evaluated for morphometric study and sexual dimorphism analyses for the first time in Iran. 53 morphological characters of 15 specimens of each sex of S. maurus were studied. Sexual dimorphism was observed in 21 morphological characters of S. maurus based on statistical analyses.

The role of bromeliad structural complexity on the presence, spatial distribution and predator avoidance in Tityus neglectus (Scorpiones: Buthidae). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Due to remarkable architectural design featuring rosette‐like leaf arrangements, bromeliads serve as habitats for various species. Bromeliad architecture is a key factor in the spatial distribution and occurrence of the Tityus neglectus scorpion. Furthermore, T.

Mass spectrometry‐based top‐down and bottom‐up approaches for proteomic analysis of the Moroccan Buthus occitanus scorpion venom

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 11, Issue 7, Page 1867-1892, July 2021., 2021
Buthus occitanus scorpion possesses highly toxic venom. This article describes the first proteomic screening of the Moroccan B. occitanus venom. Our findings highlight the complexity and the toxin diversity of this venom. The most representative compounds are neurotoxins.

Tongxinluo Exerts Inhibitory Effects on Pyroptosis and Amyloid‐β Peptide Accumulation after Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion in Rats

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Amyloid‐β peptide (Aβ) accumulation is a detrimental factor in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injuries accounting for dementia induced by ischemic stroke. In addition to blood brain barrier (BBB), the glymphatic system mediated by aquaporin‐4 (AQP‐4) on astrocytic endfeet functions as an important pathway for the clearance of Aβ in the brain ...
