Molecular Targets of Neurotoxic Insecticides in Apis mellifera

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 2022, Issue 21, June 7, 2022., 2022
Cloning of the honeybee genes encoding ion channels targeted by neurotoxic insecticides and their functional reconstitution in heterologous expression system allow the assessment of the different insecticide classes including pyrethroids and neonicotinoids. Elucidation of their mode of action, by combining electrophysiology and molecular docking, might

THE ZOONOTIC CITY: Urban Political Ecology and the Pandemic Imaginary

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 202-219, March 2022., 2022
Abstract In the context of the Covid‐19 pandemic this article takes a longer view of the evolving relationship between urbanization and the range of zoonotic diseases that have spread from animals to humans. I suggest that the existing interpretation of epidemiological transitions remains overly Eurocentric and requires a more nuanced conception of ...
