The COVID-19 pandemic raises concerns about adverse fetal outcomes during pregnancy, particularly when mothers are infected with certain viruses like SARS-CoV-2.
This study investigated placental samples from pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 during their first trimester, revealing an increase in hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) levels and changes in immune cell expression.
The research indicates that early SARS-CoV-2 infection contributes to severe hypoxia and altered cell metabolism at the maternal-fetal interface, effects that seem to lessen as pregnancy continues but may have lasting consequences.
Liriomyza trifolii (Diptera: Agromyzidae) is one of the most economically significant pests in the world. In this paper we present sequence data for the complete mitochondrial genome of L. trifolii.
