Neglected Tropical Diseases outside the Tropics

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
The neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Due to the growth in international travel and immigration, NTDs may be diagnosed in countries of the western world, but there has been no specific focus in the literature on imported NTDs.Retrospective study of a cohort of immigrants and travelers diagnosed with

Human Pegivirus Encephalitis With Brain Detection and Response to Sofosbuvir Ledipasvir

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human pegivirus (HPgV‐1) has been associated with severe encephalomyelitis in immunocompromised patients. Its neurological spectrum remains poorly defined. We report a slowly progressive encephalitis in a person living with well‐controlled HIV, characterized by white matter abnormalities and inflammatory cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). HPgV RNA was

Enhancing hybridization potential through standardizing emasculation techniques and molecular marker integration in finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.)

Plant Methods
Background Finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) has been cultivated for thousands of years in semi-arid regions of Asia and Africa. The grains have immense nutritional potential, but the genetic gains needed for high yield are yet to be realized.

Sorghum Pan-Genome Explores the Functional Utility for Genomic-Assisted Breeding to Accelerate the Genetic Gain

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is a staple food crops in the arid and rainfed production ecologies. Sorghum plays a critical role in resilient farming and is projected as a smart crop to overcome the food and nutritional insecurity in the developing world.

Quantitative Genetic Analysis of Agronomic and Morphological Traits in Sorghum, Sorghum bicolor

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
The productivity in sorghum is low, owing to various biotic and abiotic constraints. Combining insect resistance with desirable agronomic and morphological traits is important to increase sorghum productivity. Therefore, it is important to understand the

Gardiquimod Nanoemulsion Targets Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Lesions Reducing Systemic Toxicity and Parasite Burden

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoemulsion delivery of a TLR7 agonist enhances safety and promotes colocalization with Leishmania‐infected macrophages in skin lesions, enabling a ∼2‐log reduction in parasite burden. However, tissue‐level constraints and TLR‐driven regulatory feedback generate a mixed immune response that limits complete parasite clearance.

Phenotypic correlation, path coefficient and multivariate analysis for yield and yield-associated traits in groundnut accessions

Cogent Food & Agriculture, 2020
Yield is a complex quantitative trait largely influenced by the environment. Direct selection for grain yield is less efficient in improving groundnut productivity. The selection efficiency can be enhanced by exploiting the relationship between yield and
