Wild Felids as Hosts for Human Plague, Western United States

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
Plague seroprevalence was estimated in populations of pumas and bobcats in the western United States. High levels of exposure in plague-endemic regions indicate the need to consider the ecology and pathobiology of plague in nondomestic felid hosts to ...

Scalable Fabrication of Electrochemical Sensors Via Inkjet Printing of Functionalized Graphene for Pesticide Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Inkjet printing enables uniform, reproducible, and stable deposition of nitrogen‐doped graphene acid (NGA) on screen‐printed electrodes, outperforming traditional drop‐casting. The resulting electrochemical sensor exhibits enhanced sensitivity, long‐term stability, and efficient imidacloprid detection.

Plague in Egypt: Disease biology, history and contemporary analysis: A minireview

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Research, 2015
Plague is a zoonotic disease with a high mortality rate in humans. Unfortunately, it is still endemic in some parts of the world. Also, natural foci of the disease are still found in some countries. Thus, there may be a risk of global plague re-emergence.

Inhibition of RNase to Attenuate Fungal‐Manipulated Rhizosphere Microbiome and Diseases

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Fusarium graminearum uses its virulence effector Fg12, a fungal RNase, to manipulate the host rhizosphere microbiome and promote infection. Guanosine monophosphate (GMP) blocks Fg12's RNase activity. This reveals a key pathogen‐microbiota interaction mechanism and proposes GMP as a targeted strategy to disarm this core fungal effector, offering a ...

The Mitochondrial Protein RESISTANCE to APHIDS 9 Interacts with S40 to Resist Aphid Infestation by Modulating Reactive Oxygen Species Homeostasis in Maize (Zea mays)

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the mitochondrial protein RTA9, a member of the Domain of Unknown Function 641 family, together with its partner S40, as key regulators of aphid resistance in maize. RTA9 promotes S40 degradation and modulates reactive oxygen species accumulation.
