is a major vector of pathogens, including West Nile and Usutu viruses, that poses a significant public health risk. Monitoring pyrethroid resistance in mosquito populations is essential for effective vector control. This study aims to evaluate four DNA extraction protocols-QIAsymphony, DNAzol Direct reagent, PrepMan Ultra Sample Preparation Reagent (USPR), and Chelex 100-to identify an optimal method to extract DNA from individual , as part of a high-throughput surveillance of pyrethroid resistance using Real-Time Genotyping PCR.

Objective: To analyze the association between Rassi score progression and electrophysiology study (EPS) changes in CCM patients.
Background: Individuals with kidney failure have a compromised haemostatic system making them susceptible to both thrombosis and bleeding.
Objectives: Assessment of primary haemostasis in patients treated with either haemodialysis (HD) or haemodiafiltration (HDF) was performed through the measurement of several coagulation-based tests, both pre- and post-dialysis.
Patients/methods: 41 renal failure patients and 40 controls were recruited.
Article Synopsis
- Modeling approaches help local public health agencies predict mosquito populations but rely on high-quality data.
- Our study focuses on collecting and standardizing egg count data for the mosquito Aedes albopictus from 2010 to 2022 across several European countries.
- The processed data is available in the open-access database VectAbundance, improving data access and reliability for public health models.
