Optimal control of a dengue epidemic model with vaccination [PDF]
, 2011 We present a SIR+ASI epidemic model to describe the interaction between human and dengue fever mosquito populations. A control strategy in the form of vaccination, to decrease the number of infected individuals, is used.

Honeysuckle essential oil as a potential source of ecofriendly larvicides for mosquito control.
Pest Management Science, 2019 BACKGROUND Some plant essential oils have insecticidal properties against mosquitoes and can be harnessed as ecofriendly tools for mosquito control. We conducted bioassays to determine the toxicity of Italian honeysuckle (Lonicera caprifolium) essential ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A novel immuno‐piezoelectric transducer is innovatively developed. This device promotes neural stem cell (NSC) differentiation and maturation via ultrasound‐induced electrical stimulation and it amplifies the therapeutic efficacy of NSC in traumatic brain injury (TBI) by modulating the immune microenvironment. This piezoelectric transducer with “immune‐

Theoretical impact of insecticide-impregnated school uniforms on dengue incidence in Thai children. [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Children carry the main burden of morbidity and mortality caused by dengue. Children spend a considerable amount of their day at school; hence strategies that reduce human-mosquito contact to protect against the day-biting habits of Aedes ...

Shaping Microbial Motion with Light: A Contactless Approach Using Diffusioosmotic Flow
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Light‐controlled, contactless manipulation of cyanobacteria using photoresponsive azobenzene surfactants. Reversible photo‐isomerization generates surface flow, enabling precise trapping, relocation, and directional control of single cells or ensembles with adjustable light intensity and wavelength for noninvasive, spatiotemporally resolved microbial ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.In this study, we repurposed human Aurora kinase‐specific inhibitors to identify potential antimalarial agents. Two inhibitors, hesperadin and TAE684, exhibited sub‐micromolar activity across multiple parasite stages, with hesperadin demonstrating significant potency and selectivity by specifically targeting PfArk1.
