Mosquitoes are responsible for the transmission of numerous pathogens, including Plasmodium parasites, arboviruses and filarial worms. They pose a significant risk to public health with over 200 million cases of malaria per annum and approximately 4 billion people at risk of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses). Mosquito populations are geographically expanding into temperate regions and their distribution is predicted to continue increasing.

O generally induces oxidative damages and premature leaf senescence leading to important yield losses. As leaf protein degradation and recycling is involved in both maintaining cell longevity during abiotic stresses and performing efficient nitrogen remobilization during senescence, we aimed to identify proteases involved in acidic endoproteolytic activities during natural and O-induced leaf senescence in wheat.

- Mood and anxiety disorders can affect people in different ways, and researchers studied how these conditions change over time.
- They looked at data from a survey of thousands of adults over several years to find out about different types of mood and anxiety disorders.
- They discovered four main groups of people, with most being healthy, while those with panic and phobia disorders tended to stay unwell longer and may need more help.
Article Synopsis
- - The study highlights the significant impact of mental health disorders and harmful behaviors, advocating for early interventions, particularly targeting segments of the population that incur high economic costs due to these issues.
- - Utilizing data from the Netherlands Mental Health Survey involving over 6,600 adults, researchers found that 20% of the population accounted for a substantial portion of costly outcomes related to mental and physical health, unemployment, and absenteeism.
- - The analysis indicated that experiencing child abuse before age 16 increases the likelihood of belonging to these high-cost segments, suggesting the need for preventive measures focusing on at-risk individuals to reduce future economic burdens.
Objectives: The Mental Health Inventory (MHI-5) is frequently used as a screener for mood and anxiety disorders. However, few population-based studies have validated it against a diagnostic instrument assessing disorders following current diagnostic criteria.
Methods: Within the third Netherlands Mental Health Survey and Incidence Study (NEMESIS-3), a representative population-based study of adults (N = 6194; age: 18-75 years), the MHI-5 was used to measure general mental ill-health in the past month.
