Relationship between deltamethrin resistance and gut symbiotic bacteria of Aedes albopictus by 16S rDNA sequencing.

Background: Aedes albopictus is an important vector for pathogens such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya viruses. While insecticides is the mainstay for mosquito control, their widespread and excessive use has led to the increased resistance in Ae. albopictus globally.

Synergy of oxygen reduction for HO production and electro-fenton induced by atomic hydrogen over a bifunctional cathode towards water purification.

In the Electro-Fenton (EF) process, hydrogen peroxide (HO) is produced in situ by a two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e ORR), which is further activated by electrocatalysts to generate reactive oxygen specieces (ROS). However, the selectivity of 2e transfer from catalysts to O is still unsatisfactory, resulting in the insufficient HO availability. Carbon based materials with abundant oxygen-containing functional groups have been used as excellent 2e ORR electrocatalysts, and atomic hydrogen (H*) can quickly transfer one electron to HO in a wide pH range and avoiding the restrict of traditional Fenton reaction.

Discovery of selective and potent USP22 inhibitors via structure-based virtual screening and bioassays exerting anti-tumor activity.

Ubiquitin-specific protease 22 (USP22) plays a prominent role in tumor development, invasion, metastasis and immune reprogramming, which has been proposed as a potential therapeutic target for cancer. Herein, we employed a structure-based discovery and biological evaluation and discovered that Rottlerin (IC = 2.53 μM) and Morusin (IC = 8.

Characterizing the Wolbachia infection in field-collected Culicidae mosquitoes from Hainan Province, China.

Background: Mosquitoes are vectors of many pathogens, such as malaria, dengue virus, yellow fever virus, filaria and Japanese encephalitis virus. Wolbachia are capable of inducing a wide range of reproductive abnormalities in their hosts, such as cytoplasmic incompatibility. Wolbachia has been proposed as a tool to modify mosquitoes that are resistant to pathogen infection as an alternative vector control strategy.

Complete chloroplast genomes and comparative analyses of Hippeastrum 'milady', Hippeastrum albertii and Hippeastrum reticulatum (Amaryllidaceae).

Hippeastrum is a genus of ornamental plants with large, brightly colored flowers. Due to the very high seed-setting rate of the hybridization of Hippeastrum, the large population of hybrid progeny and the existence of superparent inheritance, it is difficult to trace the origin of the varieties collected from the market during breeding. In this study, we analyzed the chloroplast genomes of Hippeastrum 'Milady', H.

The full length of the complete chloroplast genome is 156,902 bp, containing a pair of inverted repeat regions of 26,030 bp (IRa and IRb) separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region of 86,583 bp and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,259 bp.

Interspecific differences in growth response and tolerance to the antibiotic sulfadiazine in ten clonal wetland plants in South China.

Pollution caused by residual antibiotics is a worldwide environmental issue. Antibiotic residues often occur in aquatic ecosystems, posing threats to the health of aquatic organisms. The effects of antibiotic residues on the growth of crop plants and on human health are reasonably well known.
