A theoretical assessment of the effects of vectors genetics on a host-vector disease
Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computing, 2020A host-vector disease model with insecticide resistance genes is proposed as a system of differential equations. The resistance-induced reproduction number $${\mathcal {R}}_e$$ is determined and qualitative stabilities analysis are provided.

A genetic algorithm design for vector quantization
1st International Conference on Genetic Algorithms in Engineering Systems: Innovations and Applications (GALESIA), 1995A new genetic learning algorithm is described in this paper to perform vector quantization for image compression. The algorithm is initialized by generating several random code-books to create a gene pool. A genetic algorithm is then developed and activated to improve on the performance of the initial code-books.

Vector Genetics in Malaria Control
2006Anopheles culicifacies is the major vector of rural malaria in the plains of India. Cytogenetic analysis of polytene chromosomes revealed that A. culicifacies is a complex of five sibling species designated as A, B, C, D, and E. Each sibling species has its own distribution pattern which is influenced by the environment. Sibling species differ in their

Genetic Modification of Chondrocytes Using Viral Vectors
2010The use of isolated cells to construct engineered tissues provides the opportunity to genetically modify those cells prior to the formation of tissue. This should make it possible to create transgenic human model tissues that can be used to determine gene function as well as to identify or validate potential therapeutic targets.

Genetic manipulation of endothelial cells by viral vectors
Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2009SummaryThe need for uncovering molecular mechanisms in endothelial cell biology has tremendously increased in the last decades as it became more and more clear that the endothelium is an important target in nearly all diseases and treatments (drug delivery) and plays a central role in regeneration processes.

Genetic modification of lymphocytes by retrovirus-based vectors
Current Opinion in Immunology, 2012The genetic modification of lymphocytes is an important topic in the emerging field of gene therapy. Many clinical trials targeting immunodeficiency syndromes or cancer have shown therapeutic benefit; further applications address inflammatory and infectious disorders.

Entrapment Vectors: A New Tool for Mammalian Genetics
Nature Biotechnology, 1990The use of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells has facilitated the creation of mouse strains carrying desired genetic alterations. Recently, "entrapment" vectors have been developed to identify and mutate genes active during embryogenesis. These vectors in combination with ES cells may provide an efficient screening strategy to find genes that control ...

Plasmid RP4 as a vector replicon in genetic engineering
Nature, 1975THERE is now considerable interest in the construction of plasmids containing DNA fragments from a variety of bacterial genera, for purposes of studying the expression of the genetic potentialities of the incorporated bacterial DNA in different bacterial hosts.

The biogeography and population genetics of neotropical vector species
Heredity, 2007Phylogenetic and population genetic data support the Pliocene or Pleistocene divergences of the co-distributed hematophagous insect vectors, the sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis s.l., the mosquitoes Anopheles darlingi and A. albitarsis s.l., and the triatomines Rhodnius prolixus and R. robustus.

Synthetic Vectors for Genetic Drug Delivery
2006Gene therapy is a new approach in the treatment of numerous diseases caused by damage to or lack of certain genes. Its application seems to be very effective, especially in the case of cancer diseases, where genetic drugs can be designed to selectively eliminate damaged cells. Due to the chemical properties of nucleic acids, their introduction into the
