C9orf72 repeat expansions cause neurodegeneration in Drosophila through arginine-rich proteins [PDF]
, 2014 An expanded GGGGCC repeat in C9orf72 is the most common genetic cause of frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A fundamental question is whether toxicity is driven by the repeat RNA itself and/or by dipeptide repeat proteins ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2014 Introduction Trypanosoma evansi was first identified in the Canary Islands in 1997, and is still present in a small area of the Archipelago. To date, the disease has exclusively affected camel herds, and has not been detected in any other animal hosts ...

Gause's exclusion principle revisited: artificial modified species and competition
, 2000 Gause's principle of competition between two species is studied when one of them is sterile. We study the condition for total extinction in the niche, namely, when the sterile population exterminates the native one by an optimal use of resources.

Intrinsic and Synthetic Stable Isotope Marking of Tsetse Flies
Journal of Insect Science, 2011 The sterile insect technique has been successfully used to eliminate tsetse populations in a number of programs. Program monitoring in the field relies on the ability to accurately differentiate released sterile insects from wild insects so that estimates can be made of the ratio of sterile males to wild males. Typically, released flies are marked with

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2019 Population explosions of the stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans) have become a serious concern for livestock producers near sugarcane mills in some regions of Brazil due to the insect’s massive reproduction on sugarcane byproducts and waste.

Area-Wide Management of Stable Flies
, 2021 Stable flies are highly vagile and their dispersal ability appears to be limited only by the availability of hosts. In addition, stable fly larval developmental substrates are diverse, dispersed and often difficult to locate. This life history necessitates the use of area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) strategies if effective control of ...

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This protocol paper outlines methods to establish the success of a time‐resolved serial crystallographic experiment, by means of statistical analysis of timepoint data in reciprocal space and models in real space. We show how to amplify the signal from excited states to visualise structural changes in successful experiments.
