Anaphylactic shock is a severe, potentially life-threatening systemic allergic reaction. It can involve multiple organ systems and is triggered by medication, food, or insect stings. Epidemiological data vary due to differing definitions, but studies estimate that 0,26% of hospital admissions are due to anaphylaxis, with 1-3 deaths per million annually.

Surveillance is integral for the targeted and effective function of integrated vector management. However, the scale of surveillance efforts can be prohibitive on manpower, given the large number of traps set, collected, processed, and enumerated. For many public health agencies, the sheer effort of weekly trapping, combined with the processing of numerous traps, is a major capacity challenge.

Our previous study demonstrated that the expression level of circRNA circEgg, which is encoded by histone-lysine N-methyltransferase eggless (BmEgg), is responsive to Bombyx mori cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (BmCPV) infection in the silkworm. However, the precise relationship between BmCPV infection and circEgg remains unclear. In this study, we observed that the expression level of circEgg in both the midguts and cultured BmN cells significantly increased after BmCPV infection, while the expression of its host gene, BmEgg, exhibited an opposite trend.

Heavy metal pollution in the aquatic environment is a growing concern. Consequently, it is crucial to promptly and accurately assess the level of contamination. Metallothionein (MT), an omnipresent protein, plays a pivotal role in regulating metal balance and detoxifying harmful substances.

Termites are eusocial cockroaches whose altruist caste is constituted of males and females. While sex ratio theory predicts a balanced investment between sexes in diploid organisms, extreme deviations are observed in termites, both in altruists and alate reproductives. Here, we expand the theoretical framework for the prediction of alate population sex ratio by considering partitioned sexual and parthenogenetic reproduction, and female/male relatedness asymmetries arising from their sex-linked chromosome complexes.
