Antibacterial and antiviral activity of a highly efficient electrospun r‐PET nanofiber

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Since the COVID‐19 pandemic, the emergence of clean air has increased interest in developing antimicrobial air filters, targeting sterilization and public health concerns. Nanofibers are a promising approach due to their high efficiency in air filtration, while nanoparticles adhered to the fibre surfaces can improve safety due to the biocidal ...

Integrating climate change, biological invasions, and infectious wildlife diseases

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Climate change is likely to affect infectious diseases that are facilitated by biological invasions, with repercussions for wildlife conservation and zoonotic risks. Current invasion management and policy are underprepared for the future risks associated with such invasion‐related wildlife diseases. By considering evidence from bioclimatology, invasion

Seroprevalance of Dengue and Chikungunya Infection and their Seasonal Trends

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2020
Dengue and Chikungunya are mosquito-borne arboviral infections with Aedes aegypti being the common vector for both.Manifestations of dengue fever closely resemble with the manifestations of Chikungunya.

Pyriproxyfen Disrupts the Ongoing Spermatogenesis Wave in Danio rerio Potentially Mediated by Voltage‐Dependent Calcium Channels and Protein Kinase C

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pyriproxyfen (PPX) is an analog of the juvenile hormone from insects. Following our previous studies, for the ex vivo short‐term effect, we chose 10−9 M pyriproxyfen to analyze the morphology of spermatogenesis wave cells. In silico docking and ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, Toxicity) studies were carried out to ...

Chikungunya: an overview

Journal of Biosciences, 2008
Chikungunya (CHIK),a mosquito borne debilitating disease,is caused by CHIK virus,an alphavirus belonging to the family Togaviridae.The sudden onset of very high fever along with rash, and severe arthralgia especially in the small joints of hands and toes are the characteristics of the disease.

Analysis of Gene Expression in Aedes aegypti Suggests Changes in Early Genetic Control of Mosquito Development

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti, a critical vector for tropical diseases, poses significant challenges for studying its embryogenesis due to difficulties in removing its rigid chorion and achieving effective fixation for in situ hybridization. Here, we present novel methodologies for fixation, dechorionation, DAPI staining, and in situ hybridization, enabling ...

A human genome-wide loss-of-function screen identifies effective chikungunya antiviral drugs [PDF]

, 2016
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a globally spreading alphavirus against which there is no commercially available vaccine or therapy. Here we use a genome-wide siRNA screen to identify 156 proviral and 41 antiviral host factors affecting CHIKV replication ...

Long lasting anti-IgG chikungunya seropositivity in the Mayotte population will not be enough to prevent future outbreaks: A seroprevalence study, 2019.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Chikungunya is an arboviral disease causing arthralgia which may develop into a debilitating chronic arthritis. In Mayotte, a French overseas department in the Indian Ocean, a chikungunya outbreak was reported in 2006, affecting a third of the population.

Bee products as alternatives in the treatment of viral infections

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Medicines used in the treatment of viral infections usually reduce symptoms. There is a need to develop drugs that inhibit the viruses and do not merely relieve the symptoms. Natural bee products possess many pharmacological properties and are widely used in folk medicine. There are many studies on the antibacterial effects of bee products but
