The microbiome influences critical aspects of mosquito biology and variations in microbial composition can impact the outcomes of laboratory studies. To investigate how biotic and abiotic conditions in an insectary affect the composition of the mosquito microbiome, a single cohort of Aedes aegypti eggs was divided into three batches and transferred to three different climate-controlled insectaries within the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. The bacterial microbiome composition was compared as mosquitoes developed, the microbiome of the mosquitoes' food sources was characterised, environmental conditions over time in each insectary were measured, and mosquito development and survival were recorded.

- The article discusses an ultra-wideband nanoscale metamaterial absorber designed for applications in the visible spectrum, emphasizing its ultrathin and flexible characteristics.
- The study highlights the effective absorption capabilities of the structure, achieving an impressive maximum absorption rate of 86.66%, with a peak absorption of 99.88% for a single unit cell.
- The research utilizes numerical analysis methods, like the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD), to optimize dispersion and Fano resonance properties, making the metamaterial a promising candidate for applications such as solar energy harvesting and biochemical sensing.
Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) has curative potential but also relatively high morbidity and mortality. Patients have multidimensional palliative care (PC) needs throughout the transplant process. However, PC is not routinely offered to patients with hematologic malignancies.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: A systematic review conducted in 2017 found that Musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries were prevalent among surgeons. Few studies have assessed the role that poor surgical ergonomic practices have had in the development of MSK injuries in plastic and reconstructive surgery (PRS), and fewer specifically in craniofacial surgeons. The impact that MSK injuries have on the emotional well-being of craniofacial surgeons is also not well understood.

- * This research created the Mosquito-Associated Isolate Collection (MosAIC) with 392 bacterial isolates and their genomic data to provide more detailed information than previous studies, which mainly relied on basic genetic markers.
- * The study also analyzed specific bacterial genera and discovered gene clusters linked to mosquito host interactions, paving the way for future research on how these bacteria affect mosquito behavior and disease transmission.
