A fast-slow model for adaptive resistance evolution [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Resistance to insecticide is considered nowadays one of the major threats to insect control, as its occurrence reduces drastically the efficiency of chemical control campaigns, and may also perturb the application of other control methods, like biological and genetic control.

Evaluation of growth and yield of new papaya (Carica papaya L.) hybrid lines and their performance against Moroccan watermelon mosaic virus‐causing disease

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Abstract The production of Carica papaya L. in Kenya is seriously affected by the Moroccan watermelon mosaic virus and lack of improved varieties leading to the importation of expensive seeds for the resource‐scarce farmers. To curb these challenges, new papaya hybrid lines were recently selected and bred, but their growth traits and performance ...

Lienhwalides: Unique Tropolone–Maleidride Hybrids from Hypoxylon lienhwacheense

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Lienhwalides are novel tropolone–maleidride hybrid molecules unique in nature. Absolute configuration is solved by semisynthetic approaches and X‐ray analysis. Interplay between both lwt and lwm biosynthetic gene clusters is responsible for the production of lienhwalides.

RNA Interference in Insects: Protecting Beneficials and Controlling Pests

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Insects constitute the largest and most diverse group of animals on Earth with an equally diverse virome. The main antiviral immune system of these animals is the post-transcriptional gene-silencing mechanism known as RNA(i) interference.

Modeling and Optimal Control Applied to a Vector Borne Disease [PDF]

Proc. 12th Int. Conf. Comp. Math. Meth. Sci. Eng. (CMMSE'2012), Murcia 02-05 July 2012 (Ed: J. Vigo-Aguiar), Vol. III (2012), 1063--1070, 2012
A model with six mutually-exclusive compartments related to Dengue disease is presented. In this model there are three vector control tools: insecticides (larvicide and adulticide) and mechanical control. The problem is studied using an Optimal Control (OC) approach. The human data for the model is based on the Cape Verde Dengue outbreak.
