Larvicidal Activity of Phytochemicals From Handroanthus impetiginosus Seeds Against Culex quinquefasciatus

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
The hexane extract was obtained from the seeds of H. impetiginosus, from which fatty acids and FAMEs were obtained. The three samples were tested on C. quinquefasciatus larvae, promoting mortality with moderate LC50 values. The hexane extract was analyzed by gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC‐MS), and the most abundant compounds were ethyl oleate (

Effects of landscape anthropization on mosquito community composition and abundance

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
Anthropogenic landscape transformation has an important effect on vector-borne pathogen transmission. However, the effects of urbanization on mosquito communities are still only poorly known.

Tandem Mass Spectrometry and Bio‐Guided Isolation of Secondary Metabolites With Antiplasmodial Activity From Dalbergia miscolobium Bark

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Strategies have been employed to address antimalarial drug resistance, including the exploration of new therapeutic targets. In this study, the stem bark of Dalbergia miscolobium was investigated using in vitro assays against Plasmodium falciparum and pyruvate kinase II (PyrKII), an essential enzyme for parasite development.

Effects of Zika Virus Strain and Aedes Mosquito Species on Vector Competence

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
In the Western Hemisphere, Zika virus is thought to be transmitted primarily by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. To determine the extent to which Ae. albopictus mosquitoes from the United States are capable of transmitting Zika virus and the influence of virus ...

Advances in Triboelectric Nanogenerators With Rotating Structure

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
The rotating TENG has been widely studied for its superiorities of simple structure, high efficiency, and stable output. This review introduced the four different principles of rotating TENG and offered a thorough summary for performance and application research through three‐level classification. Importantly, the current existing problems, challenges,

Acyclic Nucleoside Phosphonates As Potential Inhibitors Of Plasmodium Falciparum Egress

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Exploration of the chemistry of acyclic nucleoside phosphonates allowed us to study structural diversity from the hit compound; biological evaluation and molecular docking were performed to decipher key interactions with the putative target. Abstract The emergence of drug‐resistant Plasmodium strains requires the development of novel antimalarial ...
