Automated identification of spotted-fever tick vectors using convolutional neural networks. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolWe evaluate the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNN) AlexNet, ResNet‐50 and MobileNetV2 for the automated identification of tick species capable of transmitting spotted fever. CNNs achieved accuracy rates of ~90% in identifying ticks and showed sensitivities of 59%–100% according to species, sex, position or image resolution.

A DNA barcode reference library of Portuguese mosquitoes
Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 926-936, December 2021., 2021 Abstract Mosquitoes are important biological vectors of pathogens and species identification in all life stages is the first step for effective monitoring and control of mosquito‐borne diseases. Molecular methods for species identification have been developed over the last years to overcome the limitations of the taxonomic identification based on ...

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Alloxan (ALX) and streptozotocin (STZ) are extensively used to induce type 1 diabetes (T1D) in animal models. This study is aimed at evaluating the differences in immune parameters caused by ALX and STZ. T1D was induced either with ALX or with STZ, and the animals were followed for up to 180 days. Both ALX and STZ induced a decrease in the total number

New Phytologist, Volume 226, Issue 5, Page 1312-1324, June 2020., 2020 Summary As climate change transforms seasonal patterns of temperature and precipitation, germination success at marginal temperatures will become critical for the long‐term persistence of many plant species and communities. If populations vary in their environmental sensitivity to marginal temperatures across a species’ geographical range, populations ...

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 248-256, May 2020., 2020 Conservation projects in zoos require translocations of captive animals, which may spread pathogens. We aimed to verify the occurrence of vectors (triatomines and sandflies) and to investigate Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania infections in captive wild mammals in the Zoo Brasília.

The History of Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Brazil
Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 Since the emergence of MRSA in the 1960s, a gradual increase in infections by resistant bacteria has been observed. Clinical manifestations may vary from brand to critical condition due to host risk factors, as well as pathogen virulence and resistance.
