Update on resistance status of Anopheles gambiae s.s. to conventional insecticides at a previous WHOPES field site, "Yaokoffikro", 6 years after the political crisis in Côte d'Ivoire. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: At Yaokoffikro field site near Bouaké, in central Côte d'Ivoire, a group of experimental huts built in 1996 served over many years for the evaluation of insecticides against highly resistant mosquitoes.

Knockdown of MADD and c-FLIP overcomes resistance to TRAIL-induced apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells [PDF]
Objective The clinical utility of tumor necrosis factor–related apoptosis–inducing ligand (TRAIL) in the treatment of established human malignancies is limited by the development of resistance to TRAIL.

Uncovering pyrethroid resistance mechanisms in Anopheles punctulatus group mosquitoes: A novel insight from Keerom, Papua, Indonesia [PDF]
Background and Aim: Malaria control programs in Indonesia heavily rely on insecticide-based interventions such as long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS).

Status of insecticide susceptibility in Anopheles gambiae s.l. from malaria surveillance sites in The Gambia. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Vector control is an effective way of reducing malaria transmission. The main vector control methods include the use of insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor residual spraying (IRS).

Absence of knockdown resistance suggests metabolic resistance in the main malaria vectors of the Mekong region [PDF]
As insecticide resistance may jeopardize the successful malaria control programmes in the Mekong region, a large investigation was previously conducted in the Mekong countries to assess the susceptibility of the main malaria vectors against DDT and pyrethroid insecticides.

Target Site Insensitivity Detection in Deltamethrin Resistant Culex pipiens Complex in Iran
Background: Some mosquito species which belong to the Culex. pipiens complex are primary vectors for West Nile virus, Sindbis, Dirofilaria immitis, and many arboviruses. Knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) gene

Knockdown of ANT2 reduces adipocyte hypoxia and improves insulin resistance in obesity [PDF]
Decreased adipose tissue oxygen tension and increased HIF-1α expression can trigger adipose tissue inflammation and dysfunction in obesity. Our current understanding of obesity-associated decreased adipose tissue oxygen tension is mainly focused on changes in oxygen supply and angiogenesis.
