Advanced Science, EarlyView.The genome of Megachile rotundata, an extensively managed solitary pollination bee species, has been sequenced, covering 280.68 Mb and predicting 10 701 genes. The study reveals significant expansions of the Toll gene family and their abundant expression in diapause prepupae, highlighting enhanced immune responses during diapause. This genome serves as

Modelling and control of Mendelian and maternal inheritance for biological control of dengue vectors [PDF]
ECC 2021 - European Control Conference, Jun 2021, Rotterdam /
Virtual, Netherlands, 2020 Mosquitoes are vectors of viral diseases with epidemic potential in many regions of the world, and in absence of vaccines or therapies, their control is the main alternative. Chemical control through insecticides has been one of the conventional strategies, but induces insecticide resistance, which may affect other insects and cause ecological damage ...

Dengue in Cape Verde: vector control and vaccination [PDF]
Math. Popul. Stud. 20 (2013), no. 4, 208--223, 2012 In 2009, for the first time in Cape Verde, an outbreak of dengue was reported and over twenty thousand people were infected. Only a few prophylactic measures were taken. The effects of vector control on disease spreading, such as insecticide (larvicide and adulticide) and mechanical control, as well as an hypothetical vaccine, are estimated through ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study develops a strategy to screen the active compounds from bio‐mixtures via combining transcriptomic profiling and molecular docking. The proposed method demonstrates 100% correction in three different biobased mixtures and is 3–20 times faster than traditional approaches.

Bioeconomic Perspectives to an Optimal Control Dengue Model [PDF]
Int. J. Comput. Math. 90 (2013), no. 10, 2126--2136, 2013 A model with six mutually-exclusive compartments related to dengue is studied. Three vector control tools are considered: insecticides (larvicide and adulticide) and mechanical control. The basic reproduction number associated to the model is presented. The problem is studied using an optimal control approach.

Stringency and dissimilarity of Maximum Residue Levels affect bilateral agri‐food trade stability
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.Abstract Food standards are rising in both prevalence and stringency. They protect consumers and may enhance demand stability but also pose compliance challenges to producers, with ambiguous effects on the stability of trade relationships. We analyze the impact of importers' Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) along with bilateral MRL dissimilarity between ...

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 39-56, January 2023., 2023 Rutin is a flavonoid present in many plant species. Because of its antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and anti‐apoptotic properties, rutin is of interest for its potential protective effects against toxic agents. Rutin has potential therapeutic effectiveness against several toxicants, and its beneficial effects are more than likely mediated by its ...
