The role of leishmania proteophosphoglycans in sand fly transmission and infection of the Mammalian host. [PDF]

, 2012
Leishmania are transmitted by the bite of their sand fly vector and this has a significant influence on the virulence of the resulting infection. From our studies into the interaction between parasite, vector, and host we have uncovered an important ...

First Detection and Molecular Analysis of Leishmania infantum DNA in Sand Flies of Kosovo

Pathogens, 2023
Phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) are the principal vectors of phleboviruses and Leishmania spp., the causative agents of leishmaniases. The Mediterranean sand fly fauna is diverse, and leishmaniasis, mainly caused by Leishmania infantum, is

The Phlebotomine sand fly fauna of Switzerland revisited

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2023
Abstract Sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae, Phlebotominae; Newstead, 1911) are widespread in Europe, being particularly common in the Mediterranean region but rare north of the Alps. Thus, Switzerland is an opportune place to investigate the sand fly fauna on both sides of the Alpine crest, in southern sub ...

The Plant‐to‐Plant Circular Strategy: Coupling Photodegradation and Phytoremediation With Plant‐Based Nanomaterials for Plastic Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Plant‐based nanomaterials derived from alfalfa serve as dual‐function catalysts, coupling photodegradation and phytoremediation to degrade polyethylene under UV‐A light and in soil. The nanomaterials work synergistically with alfalfa and soil microbes, achieving efficient plastic breakdown without trophic transfer.

Canonical Antibodies Adopt Distinct Binding Modes to Recognize Viral Glycan Shields

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Canonical Y‐shaped antibodies recognize viral glycan shields through adaptive Fab assembly states shaped by glycan organization and somatic hypermutation. Structural analyses ofbroadly neutralizing antibodies VRC35 and VRC36 across glycoproteins of HIV‐1, influenza, SARS‐CoV‐2, and Lassa viruses reveal distinct Fab assembly states, spanning monovalent,

Leishmania chitinase facilitates colonization of sand fly vectors and enhances transmission to mice [PDF]

, 2008
Chitinases of trypanosomatid parasites have been proposed to fulfil various roles in their blood-feeding arthropod vectors but so far none have been directly tested using a molecular approach.

In Situ CO2‐Induced Hydrogels for Enhancing Carbon Sequestration in Saline Aquifers

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel integrated method that combines in situ CO2‐induced phase‐transition hydrogels formed by a C22‐tailed tertiary amine dispersion with tailored deep eutectic solvents to increase CO2 sequestration in saline aquifers. ABSTRACT Carbon sequestration in saline aquifers underpins global net‑zero emission goals, yet existing CO2 storage capacity ...
