NYD-OP7/PLC regulatory signaling pathway regulates deltamethrin resistance in Culex pipiens pallens (Diptera: Culicidae)

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Investigation of insecticide resistance mechanisms is considered a vital first step towards the creation of effective strategies to control resistant mosquitoes and manage mosquito-borne diseases.

Evidence for the plant recruitment of beneficial microbes to suppress soil-borne pathogen

bioRxiv, 2020
Emerging experimental framework suggests that plants under biotic stress may actively seek help from soil microbes, but empirical evidence underlying such a ‘cry for help’ strategy is limited.

Molecular and physiological characterization of the chitin synthase B gene isolated from Culex pipiens pallens (Diptera: Culicidae)

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background The growth and development of insects is strictly dependent on the precise regulation of chitin synthase (CHS), which is absent in vertebrates and plants. Therefore, CHS represents an attractive target for insecticides.

Pathogen Sensors [PDF]

Sensors, 2009
The development of sensors for detecting foodborne pathogens has been motivated by the need to produce safe foods and to provide better healthcare. However, in the more recent times, these needs have been expanded to encompass issues relating to biosecurity, detection of plant and soil pathogens, microbial communities, and the environment. The range of

Elevated serum antibody against Schistosoma japonicum HSP60 as a promising biomarker for liver pathology in schistosomiasis

Scientific Reports, 2017
The pathology associated with Schistosoma japonicum (S. japonicum) infection in humans is attributed to parasite egg-induced granulomatous inflammation and fibrosis in the host liver.

Laboratory validation of a clinical metagenomic sequencing assay for pathogen detection in cerebrospinal fluid

bioRxiv, 2018
Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) for pan-pathogen detection has been successfully tested in proof-of-concept case studies in patients with acute illness of unknown etiology, but to date has been largely confined to research settings. Here we

The pathogenicity of cytomegalovirus [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 1999
Human cytomegalovirus is ubiquitous, yet causes little illness in immunocompetent individuals. Disease is evident in immunodeficient groups such as neonates, transplant recipients and AIDS patients either following a primary infection or reactivation of a latent infection. Little is known of the mechanisms underlying the pathogenicity of the virus. The

Parasitic antigens alter macrophage polarization during Schistosoma japonicum infection in mice

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Schistosome eggs are trapped in host liver and elicit severe hepatic granulomatous inflammation, which can lead to periportal fibrosis, portal hypertension, hemorrhage, or even death in the host.

Schistosoma japonicum infection causes a reprogramming of glycolipid metabolism in the liver

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Recent investigations indicate that schistosome infection is closely associated with aberrant glycolipid metabolism. However, the actual glycolipid metabolism gene expression, as well as the possible pathways that regulate glycolipid ...

Genetic diversity of Plasmodium vivax populations from the China–Myanmar border identified by genotyping merozoite surface protein markers

Tropical Medicine and Health, 2023
Background Parasite diversity and population structure influence malaria control measures. Malaria transmission at international borders affects indigenous residents and migrants, defying management efforts and resulting in malaria re-introduction.
