A multiplex assay to detect mosquito species, bloodmeal host source and Plasmodium in malaria vectors using Nanopore amplicon sequencing

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Insectary‐reared mosquitoes were simultaneously assessed for species identification, bloodmeal source analysis and Plasmodium detection, using a single multiplexed sequencing run on the MinION sequencing platform. The method was applied to 150 insectary‐reared mosquitoes, representing nine species blood‐fed with five vertebrate hosts and 40 samples for

The Poisson CUSUM Chart for Monitoring Small Counts: Addressing the Estimation Uncertainty

Biometrical Journal, Volume 68, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the impact of estimating in‐control parameters on the performance of the Poisson cumulative sum (CUSUM) chart in detecting an increase in the mean when the counts are small. To reduce false signals induced by estimation uncertainty, recommendations prescribe impractically large sample sizes or propose methods that widen ...

A Fluorogenic Biosensor for Direct Detection of Vibrio vulnificus, a Climate Change Biomarker

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Nanoporous anodic alumina (S2) loaded with rhodamine B and capped with a specific oligonucleotide probe (O1) for the vvhA gene. In the presence of V. vulnificus genomic DNA, probe displacement opens the pores and releases the dye, generating a measurable fluorescent signal.

Cuba's Three Autocratic Transitions: From Revolutionary Regime to (Post)Totalitarianism and New Authoritarianism?

Bulletin of Latin American Research, Volume 45, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Cuba is the oldest and most consolidated autocracy in the Americas. Its Revolution in 1959, the charisma of Fidel Castro, the single‐party system and the US embargo have made the island an exceptional case. However, recent developments such as popular protests, limited reforms, emigration or socio‐economic decline are bringing about some ...
