Essential oils are very popular among organic growers because they are ecologically safe, do not have mammalian toxicity, and cannot be resistant to a variety of contaminants. Four essential oils, Lemon, Lavender, Peppermint, and Neem, were tested for larvicide efficacy against the dengue fever vector Aedes aegypti larvae under laboratory condition...

An essential aspect of controlling and preventing mosquito-borne diseases is to reduce mosquitoes that carry viruses. We designed a smart mosquito trap system to reduce the density of mosquito vectors and the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. This smart trap uses computer vision technology and deep learning networks to identify features of live Ae...

The sharing of cyberthreat information within a community or group of entities is possible due to solutions such as the Malware Information Sharing Platform (MISP). However, the MISP was considered limited if its information was deemed as classified or shared only for a given period of time. A solution using searchable encryption techniques that be...

Mosquito resistance to microbial infections, including fungal entomopathogens that are selected for mosquito control, depend on a range of antimicrobial effectors, among them antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). These short peptides, along the antimicrobial effector lysozyme, act by disrupting the microbial cell membrane or by interfering with microbial ...

BackgroundGlobal estimations of 4 billion people living on plant-based diets signify tremendous diversity in plant consumption and their assorted miRNAs, which presents a challenging model to experimentally address how plant-based miRNAs impact the microbiome. Here we establish baseline gut microbiome composition for a mouse model deficient in the ...

The Aedes aegypti mosquito is a vector of important viral diseases in tropical countries, as Zika, Chikungunya and Dengue fever. The use of the chemical control of the insect life cycle is one of the most popular strategies used as prophylactic for the human population exposed. However, potential environmental and human toxicity, as well as the res...

Dengue is an acute tropical infectious disease transmitted by mosquitoes, which has posed a major challenge to global public health. Unfortunately, there is a lack of clinically proven dengue-specific drugs for its prevention and treatment. As the pathogenesis of dengue has not been fully elucidated, the development of specific drugs is seriously h...
