Chapter 13: Sand fly sex/aggregation pheromones

, 2022
Sand flies are an ancient group of Diptera estimated to contain 1000 species. Approximately 70 of these transmit pathogens (viruses, bacteria and protists), which cause human and animal diseases. The most important are the Leishmania parasites, transmitted to humans and animals, during blood feeding by female sand flies, and which cause diseases that ...

Study on Deformation Law of Crossing Layer Drilling Superimposed Floor Roadway

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on deformation law of crossing layer drilling superimposed floor roadway, low dip angle drilling is particularly susceptible to complications such as borehole blockage and collapse. ABSTRACT Floor extraction roadway crossing layer drilling is a pivotal strategy for gas control in areas prone to coal and gas outbursts.

Caught in the fire: An accidental ethnography of discomfort in researching sex work

Feminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract Drawing on fifteen years of engagement with researching Israel's sex industry, this article uses accidental ethnography to propose discomfort‐as‐method for feminist anthropology. I argue that discomfort is not a by‐product of fieldwork but a constitutive condition that disciplines researchers and shapes what can be known.

Biomarkers for exposure to sand flies bites as tools to aid control of leishmaniasis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2012
Intense research efforts so far have not been sufficient to reduce leishmanasis burden worldwide. This disease is transmitted by bites of infected sand flies, which inject saliva in the host skin in an attempt to obtain a blood meal.
