Background Mutation of the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene, or knockdown resistance (kdr) gene, is an important resistance mechanism of the dengue vector Aedes aegypti mosquitoes against pyrethroids.

AbstractThe electrical activity of abdominal nerves of the housefly, Musca domestica L., was used as a bioassay to study nerve sensitivity to DDT and deltamethrin in susceptible (Cooper) and resistant (kdr, super‐kdr) strains. By this technique the resistant strains were less sensitive (approximately 10 000‐fold) than Cooper, but the bioassay could not

Insectary‐reared mosquitoes were simultaneously assessed for species identification, bloodmeal source analysis and Plasmodium detection, using a single multiplexed sequencing run on the MinION sequencing platform. The method was applied to 150 insectary‐reared mosquitoes, representing nine species blood‐fed with five vertebrate hosts and 40 samples for

Presence of kdr and s-kdr resistance in Musca domestica populations collected in Piacenza province (Northern Italy) [PDF]
Pyrethroid insecticides combine a high efficacy against insects with a low toxicity towards warm-blooded vertebrates. For this reason they are largely used to control housefly infestations. The efficacy of these products is affected by insecticide resistance mechanisms. In particular, some mutations in the sodium channel coding sequence are responsible

Densities of all Anopheles species were approximately comparable across all IRS regimes. No differences observed between treatment regimes regarding species composition of the Anopheles funestus group or An. gambiae complex. This operational pilot demonstrates the practical feasibility of IRS micro‐mosaics, despite the inherent increase in deployment ...

Understanding exosomes in regenerative dentistry
Abstract Background Regenerative dentistry is shifting from cell‐based strategies to cell‐free biologics capable of orchestrating intricate tissue repair. Exosomes, nanosized extracellular vesicles carrying bioactive molecular payloads, have emerged as central modulators of intercellular communication.

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Mosquitoes of the genus Aedes, including but not limited to Aedes aegypti, are major vectors of arboviruses such as dengue, Zika and other related diseases. Their global expansion is driven by climate change, globalisation, urbanisation and human mobility.

Background: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major global health problem as it is the leading cause of irreversible loss of central vision in the aging population. Av-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapies have been shown to be effective, but they do not respond optimally to all patients. Objective.

ABSTRACT Osteosarcoma (OSA) is a primary bone tumour occurring in children but is also prevalent in large breed dogs. Canine OSA (cOSA) has long been viewed as analogous to human OSA (hOSA) with cOSA serving as a surrogate for development of therapeutic approaches to treat the rarer human form.

ABSTRACT Objective Compulsive exercise is a common behaviour among persons with eating disorders, particularly in those with anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN). In the current study, we examined psychometric properties of a German version of the eight‐item Commitment to Exercise Scale (CES) with a four‐point scale response format.
