VectorBase: improvements to a bioinformatics resource for invertebrate vector genomics. [PDF]

, 2011
VectorBase (http://www.vectorbase.org) is a NIAID-supported bioinformatics resource for invertebrate vectors of human pathogens. It hosts data for nine genomes: mosquitoes (three Anopheles gambiae genomes, Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus), tick (

Chemical Tools for Probing the Ub/Ubl Conjugation Cascades

ChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 1, January 2, 2025.
Post‐translational modification by ubiquitin (Ub) and ubiquitin‐like proteins (Ubl) regulate a diverse array of cellular pathways. Ub/Ubl conjugation is orchestrated by a cascade of specialized E1, E2, and E3 enzymes. Here, we review chemical tools and methods implemented to probe enzymatic activities and to capture and characterize fleeting chemical ...

Iconographic Studies of Pediculus humanus

Parasitology, 1930
The great importance of lice as parasites and vectors of disease in man led one of us (Nuttall), soon after the outbreak of the Great War, to undertake a detailed study of these insects. It was known, prior to the war (1909–14), that lice transmit typhus and relapsing fever and during the war (1917–18) it was established that they also serve as vectors

Population genomics of seal lice provides insights into the postglacial history of northern European seals

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 20, October 2024.
Abstract Genetic analyses of host‐specific parasites can elucidate the evolutionary histories and biological features of their hosts. Here, we used population‐genomic analyses of ectoparasitic seal lice (Echinophthirius horridus) to shed light on the postglacial history of seals in the Arctic Ocean and the Baltic Sea region.

Safety and efficacy of a 100 % dimethicone pediculocide in school-age children [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Head lice most commonly affect children, ages 3 to 11. Concerns exist about the safety and efficacy of pesticide-based treatments. Published studies suggest dimethicone is a potentially safe and effective non-toxic treatment, but have not ...

Resilin in Insect Flight Systems

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 35, August 28, 2024.
The development of resilin‐based biomaterials for medical and industrial applications has been constantly advanced in recent years. Resilin is a rubber‐like protein that occurs in arthropod exoskeleton structures. In the insect flight system, its function depends on its overall location, protein sequence and mixture with stiffer exoskeleton components.

Pediculicide regulations and usage trends in Türkiye in 2015–2022

International Journal of Dermatology, Volume 63, Issue 3, Page 359-367, March 2024.
Abstract Background Over the years, the increasing prevalence of head lice infestation has led to an increase in treatment‐related costs and the development of resistance to pediculicides. This study aimed to evaluate pediculicide sales over an 8‐year period (2015–2022), including the COVID‐19 pandemic.

Human ectoparasites and the spread of plague in Europe during the Second Pandemic [PDF]

, 2018
Plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, can spread through human populations by multiple transmission pathways. Today, most human plague cases are bubonic, caused by spillover of infected fleas from rodent epizootics, or pneumonic, caused by ...

Mitochondrial genome sequence comparisons indicate that the elephant louse Haematomyzus elephantis (Piaget, 1869) contains cryptic species

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 112-117, March 2024.
African savanna elephant lice and Asian elephant lice differ by ~17% in cox1 gene sequence and by >23% in combined sequences of 23 mitochondrial genes. Mitochondrial gene sequence divergences between African and Asian elephant lice are 3.76–4.6 times higher than that between their hosts.
