A confinable female-lethal population suppression system in the malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae

bioRxiv, 2022
Malaria is among the world’s deadliest diseases, predominantly affecting sub-Saharan Africa, and killing over half a million people annually. Controlling the principal vector, the mosquito Anopheles gambiae, as well as other anophelines, is among the ...

Stability and periodicity in a mosquito population suppression model composed of two sub-models

Nonlinear dynamics, 2021
In this paper, we propose a mosquito population suppression model which is composed of two sub-models switching each other. We assume that the releases of sterile mosquitoes are periodic and impulsive, only sexually active sterile mosquitoes play a role ...

Multiple NTS neuron populations cumulatively suppress food intake

eLife, 2023
Several discrete groups of feeding-regulated neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract ( nucleus tractus solitarius ; NTS) suppress food intake, including avoidance-promoting neurons that express Cck (NTS Cck ...

Adversarial interspecies relationships facilitate population suppression by gene drive in spatially explicit models

bioRxiv, 2022
Suppression gene drives are designed to bias their inheritance and increase in frequency in a population, disrupting an essential gene in the process.

Modeling the Impact of Migration on Mosquito Population Suppression

Qualitative Theory of Dynamical Systems, 2022
Abstract The field trial of mosquito population suppression in Guangzhou showed that the migration of wild mosquitoes to the target area were resistant to elimination. In this work, we formulate a delay differential equation model to assess the impact of migration on the suppression efficiency, and identify that the migration of wild mosquitoes

CD56^brightCD16^– natural killer cells as an important regulatory mechanism in chronic graft-versus-host disease

Haematologica, 2022
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) is a major cause of morbidity after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In large patient populations, we have shown a CD56bright natural killer (NK) population to strongly associate with a lack of ...

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.

A quantitative explanation of the observed population of Milky Way satellite galaxies [PDF]

, 2009
We revisit the well known discrepancy between the observed number of Milky Way (MW) dwarf satellite companions and the predicted population of cold dark matter (CDM) sub-halos, in light of the dozen new low luminosity satellites found in SDSS imaging ...

Spruce Beetle Population Suppression in Northern Utah [PDF]

Western Journal of Applied Forestry, 2000
Abstract The spruce beetle is a widely dispersed, native bark beetle that attacks and kills North American spruces. We describe a project that was initiated to suppress an endemic spruce beetle population in an isolated 1000 ac area of spruce in northeastern Utah.
