Viral Ejection Proteins: Mosaically Conserved, Conformational Gymnasts
Microorganisms, 2022 Bacterial viruses (or bacteriophages) have developed formidable ways to deliver their genetic information inside bacteria, overcoming the complexity of the bacterial-cell envelope. In short-tailed phages of the Podoviridae superfamily, genome ejection is

A monitoring system for preventive control of Desert Locust in West Africa [PDF]
, 2010 Agricultural pests like the Desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria (Forskål 1775), often migrate across borders and cause major losses and emergencies. In the past, such damage often led to famines and sometimes triggered trade restrictions.
