- Rectal and pharyngeal infections from gonorrhea and chlamydia increase the risk of HIV acquisition, highlighting the importance of screening high-risk asymptomatic individuals for these STIs.
- A study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of self-collected samples to clinician-collected samples, using the latter as the standard for accuracy.
- Results showed that self-collection is highly effective, with sensitivity and specificity rates of over 94%, suggesting it could make STI screening more accessible and convenient.
Sensilla basiconica on the maxillary palps of female Aedes aegypti contain a receptor neuron which produces a phasic-tonic pattern of action potential response to low concentrations (150-300 ppm) of carbon dioxide (CO2), a stimulus known to be involved with host seeking behavior. These receptor neurons respond reliably to small increments in CO2 concentration (e.g.
