Clinical Relevance of Animal Models of Lymphatic Dysfunction and Lymphedema

Microcirculation, Volume 32, Issue 4, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Lymphedema is a chronic progressive condition, and treatment options are limited to physical therapy or surgical intervention, underscoring the need to develop preventative strategies. To do so, we must first understand the underlying mechanisms that contribute to the development of clinical lymphedema, which can be caused by a myriad of ...

A morphological identification key to the mosquito disease vectors of the Pacific

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract An identification guide is provided for female adults of the mosquito groups, complexes or species that can be morphologically differentiated and that are likely to transmit arboviruses (e.g., dengue, Zika, chikungunya, Ross River and Japanese encephalitis) or parasites (e.g., Plasmodium spp.

Neglected Tropical Diseases and Female Infertility: Possible Pathophysiological Mechanisms

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Battling female infertility has posed a global challenge, where neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are nonetheless a notable contributing factor. NTDs affect a variety of diseases, often of a chronic nature, which are often cited as some of the most lethal diseases operating against the most economically disadvantaged populations across the globe.

Western Anthelmintics in Early Twentieth‐Century China Colonial Practices and Knowledge on “Tropical Diseases” of the In/between**

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 330-351, December 2024.
Abstract Protestant (medical) missionaries were the main proponents of Western medicine in China after the Opium Wars. Several studies have highlighted how they used spectacular surgery as a means of gaining public trust. As well as surgery, they also administered anthelmintic drugs such as santonin as a tool of persuasion and conversion.

DNA Barcoding for the Identification of Adult Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) in Western Australia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.
DNA barcodes of 45 species of Western Australian mosquitoes sampled across a wide spatial range, were obtained using the universal COI barcode. Most species exhibited adequate genetic diversity, enabling reliable species identification. The barcodes generated in this study can serve as valuable resources for mosquito surveillance programs, aiding in ...
