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.

Challenges of implementing a large scale larviciding campaign against malaria in rural Burkina Faso – lessons learned and recommendations derived from the EMIRA project

open access: yesBMC Public Health, 2016
Background Recent malaria control and elimination attempts show remarkable success in several parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Vector control via larval source management represents a new and to date underrepresented approach in low income countries to ...

Titin Is Present in the Elastic Tethers That Connect Separating Anaphase Chromosomes in Crane‐Fly Spermatocytes

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Elastic tethers connect telomeres of separating chromosomes in anaphase of animal cells. Immunofluorescence staining of titin in crane‐fly spermatocytes, using 4 different antibodies, shows that the giant elastic protein titin seems to be a component of mitotic tethers: titin “strands” extend between separating chromosomes, connecting their ...

Isolation of a Novel Pythium Species, P. thermoculicivorax, and Trichoderma sp. from Natural Enzootic Mosquito Larval Infections

open access: yesJournal of Fungi
Only a handful of microbial mosquito larval pathogens have been described to date. Sampling several natural enzootic infections of mosquito larvae in southwestern Florida indicated the presence of microbial pathogens capable of extensive larval mortality.

AgamOBP1‐Directed Discovery of Repellents to Control the Spread of Mosquito‐Borne Diseases

open access: yesChemMedChem, EarlyView.
Toward the discovery of novel mosquito repellents, a library of potential binders of AgamOBP1 (secondary amines) generated from two amines and seven aldehydes was designed aiming to enable interactions with critical amino acids at the DEET‐site and to bridge the DEET‐ and Icaridin sIC‐binding pockets. 1H STD NMR spectroscopy in the presence of AgamOBP1

Environmental correlates of Aedes aegypti abundance in the West Valley region of San Bernardino County, California, USA, from 2017 to 2023: an ecological modeling study

open access: yesParasites & Vectors
Background Aedes mosquitoes, particularly Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus, are major vectors of globally significant diseases such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. Since 2013, Ae.

Treatment of pigs with endectocides as a complementary tool for combating malaria transmission by Anopheles farauti (s.s.) in Papua New Guinea

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Outdoor, early-biting, zoophagic behaviours by Anopheles farauti (s.s.) can compromise the effectiveness of bed nets for malaria control.

Alternative strategies for mosquito-borne arbovirus control

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
Background Mosquito-borne viruses—such as Zika, chikungunya, dengue fever, and yellow fever, among others—are of global importance. Although vaccine development for prevention of mosquito-borne arbovirus infections has been a focus, mitigation strategies
