Lutzomyia migonei is a permissive vector competent for Leishmania infantum [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2016 Leishmania infantum is the most widespread etiological agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the world, with significant mortality rates in human cases. In Latin America, this parasite is primarily transmitted by Lutzomyia longipalpis, but the role of Lutzomyia migonei as a potential vector for this protozoan has been discussed.

Linking Heat Treatment to Plastic Deformation in Pearlitic Steels Through Mesoscale Modeling
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Surface wear on rail and wheel steels results from surface deformation during use. This research uses mathematical models to forecast the plastic behavior of pearlitic steels, connected to the microstructure formed during heat treatment. While the cooling rate impacts the steels’ strength, the size of prior austenite grains and blocks does not ...

The role of the lipophosphoglycan ofLeishmaniain vector competence
Parasitology, 1994 SUMMARYThe surface lipophosphoglycans (LPG) ofLeishmaniapromastigotes express stage- and species-specific polymorphisms that are defined by variations in the type and number of phosphorylated oligosaccharide repeats. We have studied how these polymorphic structures control the development of transmissible infections in the sandfly vector as well as the

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Modeling the effects of variable feeding patterns of larval ticks on the transmission of Borrelia lusitaniae and Borrelia afzelii [PDF]
, 2017 Spirochetes belonging to the Borrelia burgdoferi sensu lato (sl) group cause Lyme Borreliosis (LB), which is the most commonly reported vector-borne zoonosis in Europe. B. burgdorferi sl is maintained in nature in a complex cycle involving Ixodes ricinus

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The pH‐sensitive His6‐SWNTs, which is functionalized with oligohistidine, can deliver STTM396 molecules into callus cells. The STTM396–SWNT complex treatments enhance shoot regeneration efficiency by regulating the miR396‐GRF module in Arabidopsis and tomato calli.

Function-Theoretic Explanation and the Search for Neural Mechanisms [PDF]
, 2017 A common kind of explanation in cognitive neuroscience might be called functiontheoretic: with some target cognitive capacity in view, the theorist hypothesizes that the system computes a well-defined function (in the mathematical ...
