Cytoplasmic incompatibility management to support Incompatible Insect Technique against Aedes albopictus

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background The transinfection of the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia provides a method to produce functionally sterile males to be used to suppress mosquito vectors.

Ecological Interactions of Predatory Mites, Cheyletus eruditus (Schrank) (Trombidiformes: Cheyletidae) and Cheyletus malaccensis Oudemans, and Prey, Liposcelis decolor (Pearman) (Psocodea: Liposcelididae), under Different Thermo-Hygrometric Regimes

Insects, 2023
Predator–prey interactions are linked through trophic relationships, and individual population dynamics are a function of multiple interactions among many ecological factors.

Suppression of Beneficial Mutations in Dynamic Microbial Populations

Physical Review Letters, 2017
Quantitative predictions for the spread of mutations in bacterial populations are essential to interpret evolution experiments and to improve the stability of synthetic gene circuits. We derive analytical expressions for the suppression factor for beneficial mutations in populations that undergo periodic dilutions, covering arbitrary population sizes ...

Transfection of Culicoides sonorensis biting midge cell lines with Wolbachia pipientis

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Biting midges of the genus Culicoides vector multiple veterinary pathogens and are difficult to control. Endosymbionts particularly Wolbachia pipientis may offer an alternative to control populations of Culicoides and/or impact disease ...

Spatial Dynamics and Sterilization Range of Incompatible Aedes albopictus Males: Advancing Toward an Optimized IIT Approach

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
The Incompatible Insect Technique (IIT) is a species-specific, eco-friendly mosquito control method that relies on releasing Wolbachia-infected males, which induce cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), rendering eggs inviable when mating with wild females ...

Effects of Orally Delivered Double-Stranded RNA of Trehalose-6-Phosphate Synthase on the Population of Frankliniella occidentalis

Insects
The invasive pest Frankliniella occidentalis (western flower thrip, WFT) severely impacts agricultural production. RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a viable alternative to chemical control methods.

Wolbachia Infection through Hybridization to Enhance an Incompatible Insect Technique-Based Suppression of Aedes albopictus in Eastern Spain

Insects
The emergence of insecticide resistance in arbovirus vectors is putting the focus on the development of new strategies for control. In this regard, the exploitation of Wolbachia endosymbionts is receiving increasing attention due to its demonstrated ...

Ten year trends in community HIV viral load in Barbados: implications for treatment as prevention. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundTreatment as prevention is a paradigm in HIV medicine which describes the public health benefit of antiretroviral therapy (ART). It is based on research showing substantial reductions in the risk of HIV transmission in persons with optimally ...

Mechanical suppression of premature ventricular complexes during catheter ablation procedures

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2021
Introduction: Mechanical suppression of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) is not a well-known observation. We retrospectively reviewed this phenomenon in the Ventricular Arrhythmia (VA) ablation procedures performed at Richard L.

The Very Low-Dose Dexamethasone Suppression Test in the General Population: A Cross-Sectional Study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Determinants of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis functioning are increasingly explored in population-based studies. However, functional tests measuring the negative feedback of the HPA axis cannot easily be implemented into large ...
