Virtual dissection of Aedes aegypti mosquito using phase‐contrast synchrotron microtomography

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, in‐line phase‐contrast synchrotron microtomography was used to study the morphology of adult Aedes aegypti. These specimens are vectors of several arboviruses, causing dengue, chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever. The morphological details of this insect species are still incomplete and insufficient.

Traction force generation in Plasmodium sporozoites is modulated by a surface adhesin

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Plasmodium sporozoites are the highly polarised and motile forms of the malaria parasite transmitted by mosquitoes to the vertebrate hosts. Sporozoites use myosin motors to generate retrograde flow of actin filaments. These are linked to plasma membrane spanning adhesins, which in turn bind to the extracellular environment, resulting in ...

From leprosy to ground zero: Imagining futures in a world of elimination

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Achieving a target of zero—zero disease, zero disability, and zero discrimination—has become the dominant focus of campaigns to control or eliminate diseases, from HIV/AIDS to malaria to leprosy.
