Bacteriophage-encoded single strand annealing proteins (SSAPs) are recombinases which can substitute the classical, bacterial RecA and manage the DNA metabolism at different steps of phage propagation. SSAPs have been shown to efficiently promote recombination between short and rather divergent DNA sequences and were exploited for in vivo genetic e...
Background: Sickle cell trait (HbAS) confers partial protection against malaria by reducing the adhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes to host receptors, but little is known about its potential protection against placental malaria. Methods: Using flow cytometry, we assessed the recognition of HbAA and HbAS VAR2CSA-expressing infect...
La compréhension des relations génotype-phénotype est un des axes les plus important de la recherche en agronomie. Or les interactions génotype-phénotype sont complexes à identifier car elles s'expriment à différentes échelles moléculaires dans la plante et subissent de fortes influences de la part des facteurs environnementaux. Les technologies d'...
Les folates sont des vitamines indispensables à tous les âges, particulièrement pendant la grossesse et l'enfance, étant donné leur fonction dans la division cellulaire. Le régime alimentaire en Afrique est essentiellement basé sur les céréales, consommées toujours après transformation. La fermentation est l'un des moyens de transformation des céré...

The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, is a serious invasive pest of the family Noctuidae (Lepidoptera) and given its broad host range, has the potential to cause severe yield losses in many economically important crops, especially maize. Native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, the pest was first detected in Africa (Nigeria) ...
La región amazónica es la última frontera donde la enfermedad de Chagas recientemente ha sido considerada como endémica en América Latina. En Bolivia, la vasta región amazónica experimenta considerables migraciones humanas y antropización sustancial del medio ambiente, que puede causar un nuevo peligro de establecer la transmisión de la enfermedad ...
Sixty-four Leishmania samples were isolated from patients in several villages in the Tataouine governorate, southeast Tunisia. This region is known to be a mixed focus of human cutaneous Leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania (L.) killicki (synonymous L. tropica) and L. major. To identify the Leishmania species in this governorate, a nested polymerase ...
