Mechanistic Understanding of Neurobehavioral Effects of Insecticides on the Larvae of Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Due to conservation of neuronal functioning across phyla, molecular targets of insecticides are similar in insects and vertebrates. Insecticides thus pose a risk to aquatic vertebrates,such as fish, and potentially cause neurotoxic effects. Although these ...

Clinical relevance of low-densityPlasmodium falciparumparasitemia in untreated febrile children: A cohort study

Mary-Anne Hartley

Background Low-density (LD)Plasmodiuminfections are missed by standard malaria rapid diagnostic tests (standard mRDT) when the blood antigen concentration is below the detection threshold. The clinical impact of these LD infections is unknown. This study i ...

Hookworms Evade Host Immunity by Secreting a Deoxyribonuclease to Degrade Neutrophil Extracellular Traps

Arne Seitz, Romain Guiet, Nicola Harris, Beatrice Volpe, Tiffany Babette Angélique Bouchery, Kathleen Shah, Manuel Kulagin, Mati André Marie Moyat

Hookworms cause a major neglected tropical disease, occurring after larvae penetrate the host skin. Neutrophils are phagocytes that kill large pathogens by releasing neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), but whether they target hookworms during skin infec ...

Assessing the interplay between human mobility and mosquito borne diseases in urban environments

Emanuele Massaro

Urbanization drives the epidemiology of infectious diseases to many threats and new challenges. In this research, we study the interplay between human mobility and dengue outbreaks in the complex urban environment of the city-state of Singapore. We integra ...

UV/H2O2 advanced oxidation for abatement of organophosphorous pesticides and the effects on various toxicity screening assays

Urs von Gunten

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are utilized due to their ability to treat emerging contaminants with the fast reacting and non-selective hydroxyl radical (center dot OH). Organophosphorous insecticides are common drinking water contaminants, with 12 d ...

Vector Control in Developing Countries: Challenges and Solutions

Paul Joseph Dyson, Claire Samantha Allardyce

Undoubtedly, reducing vector populations or their interactions with hosts below a critical level is a practical and proven method of disease control. Introduction of insecticide-treated bed nets has significantly reduced malaria in some parts of the world. ...

Assessment of brain metabolite correlates of AAV-mediated overexpression of human alpha-synuclein in cortical neurons by in vivo(1) H-MR spectroscopy at 9.4 T

Sarah Catherine Sonnay

In this study, we used proton-localized spectroscopy ((1) H-MRS) for the acquisition of the neurochemical profile longitudinally in a novel rat model of human wild type alpha-synuclein (a-syn) overexpression. Our goal was to find out if the increased a-syn ...

Evaluation of the risk to groundwater after treating logs with cypermethrin

Dominique Grandjean, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Dimitri Dousse

In order to protect conifer logs against attacks from the striped ambrosia beetle (Trypodendron lineatum ) during spring in Swiss forests, logs are treated with the insecticide cypermethrin. Rainfall can cause the insecticide to leach into the ground, pote ...

Clocks do not tick in unison: isolation of Clock and vrille shed new light on the clockwork model of the sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis

Antonio Carlos Alves Meireles Filho

Background: Behavior rhythms of insect vectors directly interfere with the dynamics of pathogen transmission to humans. The sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis is the main vector of visceral leishmaniasis in America and concentrates its activity around dusk. De ...

The Plasmodium falciparum, Nima-related kinase Pfnek-4: a marker for asexual parasites committed to sexual differentiation

Miguel Garcia

Background: Malaria parasites undergo, in the vertebrate host, a developmental switch from asexual replication to sexual differentiation leading to the formation of gametocytes, the only form able to survive in the mosquito vector. Regulation of the onset ...
