MiR-279-3p regulates deltamethrin resistance through CYP325BB1 in Culex pipiens pallens

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background The overuse of insecticides to control insect vectors has promoted extensive insecticide resistance in mosquitoes. In this study, the functions of microRNA (miR)-279-3p and its target CYP325BB1 in the regulation of deltamethrin resistance in ...

Physiological characterization of chitin synthase A responsible for the biosynthesis of cuticle chitin in Culex pipiens pallens (Diptera: Culicidae)

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background The pathogens transmitted by mosquitoes to humans and animals cause several emerging and resurgent infectious diseases. Increasing insecticide resistance requires rational action to control the target vector population. Chitin is indispensable

MiR-4448 is involved in deltamethrin resistance by targeting CYP4H31 in Culex pipiens pallens

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Culex pipiens (Cx. pipiens) complex, which acts as a vector of viruses and is widespread and abundant worldwide, including West Nile virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, and Sindbis virus, can cause serious vector-borne diseases affecting human

SaQuant: a real-time PCR assay for quantitative assessment of Staphylococcus aureus

BMC Microbiology, 2021
Background Molecular assays are important tools for pathogen detection but need to be periodically re-evaluated with the discovery of additional genetic diversity that may cause assays to exclude target taxa or include non-target taxa.

Identification and Characterization of Antigenic Properties of Schistosoma japonicum Heat Shock Protein 90α Derived Peptides

Pathogens, 2022
It is known that schistosome-derived antigens induce innate and adaptive immune responses that are essential for the formation of hepatic immunopathology. Here, we screened and synthesized four peptides derived from Schistosoma japonicum (S.

An association of Aquaporin-4 with the immunoregulation of liver pathology in mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Schistosomiasis is a chronic parasitic disease that affects approximately 200 million people. In Schistosomiasis japonica and mansoni, parasite eggs were trapped in host liver and stimulated the CD4+T cell responses to regulate the formation ...
