The patient had a documented infection with Leptospira recently, and had a positive history for fascioliasis two years before.Histopathology examination of the l...

Mechanics of a mosquito bite with applications to microneedle design.

The mechanics of a fascicle insertion into the skin by a mosquito of the type aedes aegypti has been studied experimentally using high-speed video (HSV) imaging, and analytically using a mathematical model. The fascicle is a polymeric microneedle composed of a ductile material, chitin. It has been proposed that the mosquito applies a non-conservative follower force component in addition to the ...
