The evaluation of control measures against Schistosoma mekongi in Cambodia by a mathematical model [PDF]
We constructed a mathematical model for the transmission of Schistosoma mekongi in Cambodia. The simulation of the model will be instrumental in planning schistosomiasis control measures.

ABSTRACT This study describes the green synthesis, characterization, and biological evaluation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) obtained from green propolis (AgNPs‐PRO). Before nanoparticles synthesis, a hydroethanolic green propolis extract (GPE) was obtained through ultrasound‐assisted extraction and characterized by high‐performance liquid ...

Beyond Histones: Unveiling the Functional Roles of Protein Acetylation in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
ABSTRACT Lysine acetylation plays a crucial role in cellular processes and is found across various evolutionary organisms. Recent advancements in proteomic techniques revealed the presence of acetylation in thousands of non‐histone proteins. Here, we conducted extensive meta‐analysis of 48 acetylomes spanning diverse organisms, including archaea ...

An improved genome assembly of the fluke Schistosoma japonicum
Background Schistosoma japonicum is a parasitic flatworm that causes human schistosomiasis, which is a significant cause of morbidity in China and the Philippines. A single draft genome was available for S. japonicum, yet this assembly is very fragmented
