The epidemiology and evolution of diseases unfold in populations that are rarely homogeneous. Instead, hosts infected by pathogens often form metapopulations, in which local populations connected by the movement of hosts experience different demographic and epidemiological conditions. Here, we develop a general theory of the evolution of pathogens in heterogeneous metapopulations.

Coxiella burnetii (Cbu) is the gram-negative intracellular pathogen responsible for deadly zoonotic infection, Q fever. The pathogen is environmentally stable and distributed throughout the world which is sustained in nature by chronic infection of ruminants. The epidemiological studies on Q fever indicates it as emerging public health problem in various countries and it is imperative to promptly identify an appropriate therapeutic solution for this pathogen.

is one of the etiological agents of sporotrichosis, a cutaneous and subcutaneous infection distributed worldwide. Like other medically relevant fungi, its cell wall is a molecular scaffold to display virulence factors, such as protective pigments, hydrolytic enzymes, and adhesins. Cell wall proteins with adhesive properties have been previously reported, but only a handful of them have been identified and characterized.

Article Synopsis
- Fusarium wilt (FW) is a major soil-borne disease affecting chickpeas, leading to potential yield losses of up to 100%, prompting the need for resistant varieties.
- The breeding program involved using the resistant WR 315 variety to develop new lines, specifically KCD 5 and KCD 11, which were tested for their disease resistance and yield performance across multiple trials.
- KCD 11 demonstrated significant yield improvements over the JG 11 variety and regional checks, showcasing its potential as a high-yield and FW-resistant chickpea option for growers in Karnataka.
Quantitative evaluation of the impact of indoor relative humidity on deposition of aerosols generated during tooth grinding in a real-world clinical setting.

Objectives: Exposure to aerosol particles generated from tooth grinding has a negative impact on the health of dental personnel. The aim of this study was to quantitatively analyze the impact of indoor relative humidity (IRH) on the deposition of these suspended particles in a well-controlled dental environment.
Materials And Methods: In this study, a humidity control system was employed to effectively regulate and maintain indoor relative humidity (IRH).
