Pathogens spread by high-flying wind-borne mosquitoes. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
Mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue threaten billions of people and cause the death of hundreds of thousands annually. Recent studies have revealed that many mosquito species regularly engage in high-altitude wind-borne migration, but its ...

Utilizing wind rose information for the prediction of ammonia migration

, 2023
Exposure to high concentrations of ammonia can be harmful to human health. Ammonia is a strong irritant and can cause respiratory problems, such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of ammonia can also

Do Arctic waders use adaptive wind drift? [PDF]

, 2004
We analysed five data sets of flight directions of migrating arctic waders in relation to winds, recorded by tracking radar and optical range finder, in order to find out if these birds compensate for wind drift, or allow themselves to be drifted by ...

The relative importance and biological significance of non-stop and intermittent flight strategies in bird migrants crossing the Sahara [PDF]

, 2007
IX Summary The aim of this thesis was to investigate the flight and resting strategies of birds crossing the Sahara on migration. In order to overcome the severe limitations of ground observations, we chose radar to obtain continuous data of the temporal

Darwin’s wind hypothesis: does it work for plant dispersal in fragmented habitats? [PDF]

, 2009
Using the wind-dispersed plant Mycelis muralis, we examined how landscape fragmentation affects variation in seed traits contributing to dispersal.

Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) on birds migrating to the island of Ponza, Italy, and the tick-borne pathogens they carry

, 2021
Seasonal migration of birds between breeding and wintering areas can facilitate the spread of tick species and tick-borne diseases. In this study, 151 birds representing 10 different bird species were captured on Ponza Island, an important migratory ...

The use of census migration data to approximate human movement patterns across temporal scales [PDF]

, 2013
Human movement plays a key role in economies and development, the delivery of services, and the spread of infectious diseases. However, it remains poorly quantified partly because reliable data are often lacking, particularly for low-income countries ...

Engineered extracellular vesicles enriched with the miR‐214/199a cluster enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the miR‐214/199a cluster is associated with recurrence in ovarian cancer. Engineered small extracellular vesicles (m214‐sEVs) elevate miR‐214‐3p/miR‐199a‐5p in tumor cells, suppress β‐catenin, TLR4, and YKT6 signaling, reprogram tumor‐derived sEV cargo, reduce chemoresistance and migration, and enhance carboplatin efficacy and survival in ...
