Article Synopsis
- In Italy, malaria was eradicated in the 1970s, but due to climate change and increased migration, there is a growing risk of its resurgence, particularly in Northern Italy where mosquito populations remain.
- A 4-year field survey in Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna assessed the presence of malaria vectors (Anopheles mosquitoes) by examining land use and meteorological data.
- Key findings showed that rice fields had the strongest relationship with mosquito presence, followed by transitional woodlands, while temperature and degree-days affected mosquito abundance, which helps predict future malaria risks.
The present work aimed to characterize the molecular relationships between structure and function of the seed storage protein β-vignin, the vicilin storage protein of cowpea (, l. Walp) seeds. The molecular characterization of β-vignin was carried out firstly by assessing its thermal stability, under different conditions of pH and ionic strength, by thermal shift assay (TSA) using SYPRO Orange fluorescent dye.
