Cercospora cf. sigesbeckiae is an ascomycete fungal pathogen that infects various plants, including important agricultural commodities, such as soybean. Here, we report the first draft genome sequence and assembly of this pathogen.

In this study we evaluated and reported repellent effects of essential oils from Thai plants against 4 mosquito vectors: Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus, Anopheles. dirus and Culex quinquefasciatus under laboratory conditions using human volunteers. The essential oils were extracted from 18 plant species, belonging to 11 families, and the oils were then prepared as 10% solution in absolute ethano...

the aim of this work is to describe the qualitative behavior of the solution set of a givensystem of fractional differential equations and limiting behavior of the dynamical system or flow defined by the system of fractional differential equations. in order to achieve this goal, it is first necessary to develop the local theory for fractional nonlinear systems. this is done by the extension of ...

BACKGROUND To improve patient safety, organisations must systematically measure avoidable harms. Clinical surveillance-consisting of prospective case finding and peer review-could improve identification of adverse events (AEs), preventable AEs and potential AEs. The authors sought to describe and compare findings of clinical surveillance on four clinical services in an academic hospital. METHOD...

BACKGROUND Zika virus (ZIKV; genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae) is an emerging virus of medical importance maintained in a zoonotic cycle between arboreal Aedes spp. mosquitoes and nonhuman primates in African and Asian forests. Serological evidence and virus isolations have demonstrated widespread distribution of the virus in Senegal. Several mosquito species have been found naturally infe...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Wolbachia-based vector control strategies have been proposed as a mean to augment the existing measures for controlling dengue vector. Prior to utilizing Wolbachia in novel vector control strategies, it is crucial to understand the Wolbachia-mosquito interactions. Many studies have only focused on the prevalence of Wolbachia in female Aedes albopictus with lack of attent...

atopic eczema (ae) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects children and adults, and  alters  quality  of  life.  previous  studies  have suggested several  socio-demographic   and environmental factors related to the prevalence of ae and other allergic diseases,  including acetaminophen use. in the present study, we report the rates of isolated ae, ae associated with asthma and ae a...
