Detection of mosquito-only flaviviruses in Europe.

The genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae, includes a number of important arthropod-transmitted human pathogens such as dengue viruses, West Nile virus, Japanese encephalitis virus and yellow fever virus. In addition, the genus includes flaviviruses without a known vertebrate reservoir, which have been detected only in insects, particularly in mosquitoes, such as cell fusing agent virus, Kamiti...

Only Fermions Can Be Elementary

In standard Poincare and anti de Sitter SO(2,3) invariant theories, the existence of antiparticles is explained by using the fact that covariant equations have solutions with negative energies. In these theories a particle and its antiparticle are described by independent positive energy irreducible representations (IRs) of the symmetry group. Such an approach cannot be applied in de Sitter SO(...

Only Powers Can Confer Dispositions

According to power theorists, all (fundamental, perfectly natural) properties (or at least all fundamental, perfectly natural properties that confer dispositions) are powers—i.e. they necessarily confer on their bearers certain dispositions. Although dispositional essentialism is increasingly gaining popularity, a vast majority of analytic metaphysicians still favors what I call ‘the nomic theo...
