Coinfection of Bovine ephemeral fever virus and ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos’ in cattle in Central China: implications for tick-borne transmission and viral divergence

BMC Veterinary Research
Background In central China, free-range cattle face high risks of exposure to arthropod-borne pathogens like Bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) and ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos’ (‘Ca. M. haemobos’).

Structure of the Inhibited Smooth Muscle Myosin and Its Implications on the Regulation of Insect Striated Muscle Myosin

Life
Class II myosin (myosin-2) is an actin-based motor protein found in nearly all eukaryotes. One critical question is how the motor function of myosin-2 is regulated. Vertebrate myosin-2 comprises non-muscle myosin, smooth muscle myosin and striated muscle

Physiological adaptations to sugar‐mimic alkaloids: Insights from Bombyx mori for long‐term adaption and short‐term response

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Insects evolved adaptive plasticity to minimize the effects of the chemical defenses of their host plants. Nevertheless, the expressional response and adaptation of phytophagous specialists for long‐term adaption and short‐term response to host ...

Flowers and Insects. XXIII [PDF]

Botanical Gazette, 1892
The flower groups are divided into (i) a social set, whose flowers are in heads, spikes, or close umbels, so that insects pass from one to another without taking wing or climbing; and (2) a non-social set. The latter contains 54.4 per cent of the flowers, and is divided into Ma, I2I long-tongued bee flowers, and II adapted to birds, hawk-moths, and ...

Microfabrication of Soft Millirobots Propelled by Low Voltage Electrohydraulic Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Manual layer‐by‐layer assembly is replaced by wafer‐level MEMS batch fabrication for compliant polymer‐based electrohydraulic actuators. The microfabricated devices integrate sacrificially defined microcavities, Parylene‐C‐sealed inlets, and multilayer polymer–metal films.
