A pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic model for chemoprotective agents against malaria

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 12, Issue 1, Page 50-61, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Chemoprophylactics are a vital tool in the fight against malaria. They can be used to protect populations at risk, such as children younger than the age of 5 in areas of seasonal malaria transmission or pregnant women. Currently approved chemoprophylactics all present challenges.

The Case for Pyriproxyfen as a Potential Cause for Microcephaly; From Biology to Epidemiology [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
The Zika virus has been found in individual cases but has not been confirmed as the cause of in the large number of cases of microcephaly in Brazil in 2015-6. Indeed, disparities between the incidence of Zika and microcephaly across geographic locations has led to questions about the virus's role.

Management‐induced shifts in rhizosphere bacterial communities contribute to the control of pathogen causing citrus greening disease

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 1, Issue 4, Page 275-286, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Introduction Citrus greening (aka Huanglongbing, HLB) caused primarily by the bacterial pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) has devastating effects on the global citrus industry. Agricultural management‐induced changes in microbial communities are hypothesised to contribute toward HLB resistance by reducing pathogen titre and ...

The temperature affects the impact levels of synthetic insecticides on a parasitoid wasp used in the biological control of pentatomid pests in soybean crops [PDF]

arXiv
The impact of climate change has led to growing global concern about the interaction of temperature and xenobiotics in agricultural toxicological studies. Thus, for the first time, we evaluated the lethal, sublethal and transgerational effects of six insecticides used in the management of stink bug complex in soybean crops on the different life stages ...

Demonstration of autonomous fixed‐wing drone delivery of prescribed medications in remote islands in Japan

Journal of General and Family Medicine, EarlyView.
We demonstrated a combination of online medication counseling and drone delivery of medications dispensed by pharmacists in two rural clinics located far from pharmacies on remote islands in Japan. After being prescribed by physicians, dispensed by pharmacists, and online medication counseling, the medications were transported by autonomous fixed‐wing ...

Population dynamics and insecticide resistance in Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), an invasive pest on tomato in Kenya

Heliyon, 2023
Tuta absoluta feeds on solanaceous plants with preference on tomato. Management of the pest is mostly with chemical insecticides. This study identified insecticide resistant populations and predicted resistance to insecticides.

Australia's lice treatment device regulation

Journal of Pharmacy Practice and Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Before 2002, products for head lice were entered in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) as Registered or Listed Medicines, depending on the active ingredients. Since 2002, the Australian definition of a medical device has been consistent with that of the European Union, allowing many lice treatments and prevention ...

Biodegradable Polymers for Plant Nutrient Delivery and Recovery

Macromolecular Bioscience, EarlyView.
This review article discusses the use of biodegradable polymers to address several grand challenges in agriculture: to improve the delivery of nitrogen and phosphorous to crops, to optimize plant uptake, and to enhance the recovery of these nutrients from wastewater, to recycle them and reduce water pollution. Abstract The current use of fertilizers is

Emamectin benzoate sensing using vivianenes (2D vivianites) [PDF]

arXiv
The excessive application of pesticides, particularly the overreliance on insecticides for the protection of desirable crops from pests, has posed a significant threat to both ecological systems and human health due to environmental pollution. This research outlines a comprehensive approach to recognizing and quantifying the presence of insecticides ...
