Article Synopsis
- Vehicle headlights emit pulsed artificial light (pALAN) at night, which can be intense and unpredictable, affecting nocturnal insects like moths that have unique low-light vision.
- A study tested how different types of pALAN (warm/cool phosphor-coated LEDs and RGB LEDs) influenced the behavior of 428 wild moths, showing that cool LED light increased erratic flight patterns that heighten risks of predation and collisions with vehicles.
- The research suggests that switching to lower color temperature (CCT) lights or RGB options can improve road safety and reduce negative ecological impacts on nocturnal moth populations.
Human vaginal epithelial cells (VECs) from vaginal swabs obtained from normal women or from patients with trichomoniasis were purified, and VEC parasitism by Trichomonas vaginalis was examined. Trichomonads bound equally well to live or dead VECs, and up to 20% of VECs were parasitized. Trichomonal cytadherence of human VECs was time, temperature, and pH dependent.
