Establishment of a Human Cell‐Based In Vitro Test System for Investigating and Evaluating Cytotoxic and Immunomodulatory Effects of Indoor Mold

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mold growth in damp indoor environments is a widespread problem associated with respiratory health effects, though causal mechanisms remain incompletely understood. We established a human cell‐based in vitro test system using bronchial epithelial cells (NuLi‐1) and macrophages (THP‐1) to assess inhalation toxicity and immunomodulatory effects ...

Human exposure to anopheline mosquitoes occurs primarily indoors, even for users of insecticide-treated nets in Luangwa Valley, South-east Zambia. [PDF]

, 2012
: BACKGROUND: Current front line malaria vector control methods such as indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), rely upon the preference of many primary vectors to feed and/or rest inside human habitations where they ...

Impact of indoor residual spraying on malaria parasitaemia in the Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo District in northern Ghana

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Since 2008 indoor residual spraying (IRS) has become one of the interventions for malaria control in Ghana. Key partners in the scale-up of IRS have been the US President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI) and AngloGold Ashanti (AGA).

Study on Raindrop Dynamic Behaviour and Its Impact on Insulator Flashover Characteristics Under Airflow Synergy

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The synergistic effect of airflow on rainfall behaviour significantly impacts the flashover probability of insulators. This study combines experiments and simulations to investigate the influence of raindrop dynamic behaviour, shed structures and rainfall conditions on flashover characteristics under airflow conditions.

Synergistic Effect of Ambient Ozone, Relative Humidity, and Temperature on Epidemic Patterns of Influenza: A Hypothesis and Its Verification

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The mechanisms underlying seasonal patterns in influenza epidemics have long been an enigma. Our laboratory study revealed that ambient ozone significantly inactivates airborne influenza viruses synergistically with higher relative humidity and temperature.
