Impacts of Bioassay Type on Insecticide Resistance Assessment in the German Cockroach (Blattodea: Ectobiidae).

The German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.), is one of the most critical urban pests globally due to the health risks it imposes on people, such as asthma. Insecticides are known to manage large cockroach population sizes, but the rapid rate at which they develop resistance is a continuing problem.

Cancer survivors' perspectives and experiences regarding behavioral determinants of return to work and continuation of work.

Purpose: Supportive interventions to enhance return to work (RTW) in cancer survivors hardly showed positive effects so far. Behavioral determinants might have to be considered in the development of interventions to achieve sustained employability. This study aimed to explore cancer survivors' perspectives and experiences regarding behavioral determinants of RTW and continuation of work.

Candida inconspicua and Candida norvegensis: new insights into identification in relation to sexual reproduction and genome organization.

Candida inconspicua and Candida (Pichia) norvegensis are two emerging pathogenic species that exhibit reduced susceptibility to azole derivatives. Conventional (biochemical) approaches do not readily differentiate between the two species. The first aim of this work was to analyze the performance of biochemical, proteomic (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight [MALDI-TOF]), and molecular approaches in the precise identification of these species.

Evaluation of a recombinant antigen-based enzyme immunoassay for the diagnosis of noninvasive aspergillosis.

Antibody detection is a key diagnostic tool for noninvasive aspergillosis (NIA) such as allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. Specific immunoprecipitin detection (IPD) is considered as the reference but lacks standardization and is time-consuming. To evaluate the performance of a new anti-Aspergillus fumigatus IgG enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kit using a recombinant A.
