Investigating the molecular basis of multiple insecticide resistance in a major malaria vector Anopheles funestus (sensu stricto) from Akaka-Remo, Ogun State, Nigeria

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Understanding the mechanisms used by Anopheles mosquitoes to survive insecticide exposure is key to manage existing insecticide resistance and develop more suitable insecticide-based malaria vector control interventions as well as other ...

Spatio‐Temporal Changes in Effective Population Size in an Expanding Metapopulation of Eurasian Otters

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Conservation efforts are leading to demographic growth and spatial expansion of some previously endangered species. However, past population bottlenecks or population size fluctuations can have lasting effects on effective population size (Ne), even when census size (Nc) appears large or recovered.

Extracellular vesicle and CRISPR gene therapy: Current applications in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Huntington's disease

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 60, Issue 8, Page 6057-6090, October 2024.
Extracellular vesicle and clustered‐regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats gene editing mediated treatment approaches used mouse and patient‐derived cell line as models. With this treatment, an increase in motor coordination and immunomodulation and a decrease in striatal atrophy and neuronal death were observed.

Dietary exposure assessment of organochlorine pesticides in two commonly grown leafy vegetables in South-western Nigeria

Heliyon, 2019
Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are persistent pesticides whose usage have been banned or restricted worldwide and the presence of its residues in vegetables could affect its nutritional quality as well cause adverse health effects.

Current species protection does not serve its porpoise—Knowledge gaps on the impact of pressures on the Critically Endangered Baltic Proper harbour porpoise population, and future recommendations for its protection

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
The Critically Endangered Baltic Proper harbour porpoise population is likely still decreasing in size due to an exceeded limit for anthropogenic mortality, the high concentrations of contaminants in the Baltic Sea, reductions in prey availability, and increases in underwater noise.

Association between pancreatic adenocarcinoma risk and concentration of organochlorine pesticides in adipose tissue and urine: A targeted‐screening analysis case‐control study (PESTIPAC)

United European Gastroenterology Journal, Volume 12, Issue 7, Page 951-959, September 2024.
Abstract Background Knowledge about environmental pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) risk factors, including pesticide exposure, remains limited. Organochlorine (OC) accumulates in adipose tissue and can help reflect long‐term exposure. Patients and Methods Age and body mass index (BMI) of patients with PA were matched with those undergoing a surgery for a
