Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis
November 2024
The global burden of mosquito-borne diseases transmitted by and mosquitoes has become a pressing public health concern. This study sought to quantify and evaluate about eight decades of publication data on the global epidemiological trend of the diseases transmitted by and . A comprehensive bibliographic review of literature was performed on and transmitted diseases, focusing on disease transmission, epidemiological trends, vector control strategies, surveillance and monitoring, and international collaborations and initiatives.

While noble-metal-based catalysts are widely recognized for their role in oxygen processes, current state-of-the-art designs are limited to either ORR or OER activity, presenting a notable research gap. In addressing this challenge, we have developed a novel nanocomposite catalyst derived from a nickel-based metal-organic framework ().

In this study, we examined the effects of combining two fungal probiotics, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Aspergillus niger with extracts of Jerusalem artichoke and white button mushroom to develop a synbiotic formulation to improve the growth and health status of zebrafish (Danio rerio). An initial in vitro study determined the most effective synbiotic combination, which was then tested in a 60-day in vivo nutritional trial using zebrafish (80 ± 1.

To update some entomological aspects in three districts of Tamil Nadu state namely Kumbakonam, Nagapattinam and Thriuvarur districts, the study was undertaken. The objective of the study was to understand the prevalence of mosquitoes; to assess insecticide resistance and phylogenetic analysis of dengue vectors [Aedes (Ae.
