BackgroundUnderstanding the molecular basis of insecticide resistance in mosquito, such as Anopheles funestus, is an important step in developing strategies to mitigate the resistance problem. This study aims to assess the role of the GSTe2 gene in DDT resistance and determine the genetic diversity of this gene in An. funestus.MethodsGene expressio...

BackgroundSince the advent of the Green Revolution, pesticides have played an important role in the global management of invertebrate pests including vector mosquitoes. Despite optimal efficacy, insects often display insensitivity to synthetic insecticides owing to prolonged exposure that may select for resistance development. Such insecticide inse...

Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and its metabolite dichlorodiphenyl-dichloroethylene (DDE) are ubiquitously found in the environment and linked to cardiovascular diseases-with a majority of the work focused on hypertension. Studies investigating whether DDx can interact with molecular targets on cardiac tissue to directly affect cardiac funct...

In order to understand the reaction growth characteristics and its influencing factors of typical explosives after non-impact ignition, a device and method for studying the reaction growth characteristics of explosives after non-impact ignition were established. The effects of explosive composition, forming process and porosity on the reaction grow...

BackgroundAedes aegypti transmits several arboviral diseases of global public health threat such as dengue, zika, and yellow fever. Recently, a series of yellow fever outbreaks have been reported in different parts of the country. Globally, the control of mosquito-borne diseases has relied heavily on insecticides based vector control efforts. There...

Herbivorous insects encounter a variety of toxic environmental substances ranging from ingested plant defensive compounds to human-introduced insecticidal agents. Dietary antioxidants are known to reduce the negative physiological impacts of toxins in mammalian systems through amelioration of reactive oxygen-related cellular damage. The analogous i...

The progressive emergence of resistant populations is now a common feature for insecticides and antibiotics, as a consequence of overuse and/or incorrect utilization. The phenomenon is changing the scenario of the battle against micropathogens and parasites, as well as the control of the vectors, requiring solutions to new forms of old problems. Th...

BackgroundUnderstanding the mechanisms used by Anopheles mosquitoes to survive insecticide exposure is key to manage existing insecticide resistance and develop more suitable insecticide-based malaria vector control interventions as well as other alternative integrated tools. To this regard, the molecular basis of permethrin, DDT and dieldrin resis...

Experiments are conducted in a smooth 10 × 10 mm square cross-section, 1-m long channel, closed at the ignition end and open at the other end. Simultaneous two-direction schlieren visualization is used to investigate the three-dimensional dynamics of transition to detonation for a stoichiometric H 2-O 2 mixture. Results show the existence of two di...
