Objective: To investigate the distribution of mosquito species and their associated viruses, and identify subspecies in Hami City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

Methods: Mosquitoes were captured using mosquito trapping lamps method in Yizhou District, Yiwu County, and Balikun County of Hami City in mi-July, 2019 and 2020. The species and subspecies of all captured mosquitoes were characterized. In addition, the flavivirus, alphavirus, bunyavirus, Japanese encephalitis virus, Liaoning virus, Tahyna virus, tick-borne encephalitis virus and West Nile virus were detected using reverse-transcription PCR assay in captured mosquitoes.

Results: A total of 1 496 mosquitoes were captured from Yizhou District, Yiwu County, and Balikun County of Hami City, belonging to 3 genus and 3 species. was the dominant mosquito species (986 mosquitoes, 65.91%), followed by (457 mosquitoes, 30.55%), while had the lowest number (53 mosquitoes, 3.54%). All captured mosquitoes were identified as based on the terminalia of male mosquitoes. RT-PCR assay tested negative for flavivirus, alphavirus, bunyavirus, Japanese encephalitis virus, Liaoning virus, Tahyna virus, tick-borne encephalitis or West Nile virus in captured mosquitoes.

Conclusions: There were 3 species of mosquitoes in Hami City from 2019 to 2020, including , and , with as the dominant mosquito species, and all captured mosquitoes were ; however, no arboviruses were detected.

Background: The impact of baseline triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and abnormal low or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C or HDL-C) levels on all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between TyG index and LDL-C or HDL-C and all-cause and CVD mortality.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from health examinations of 69,068 older adults aged ≥60 in Xinzheng City, Henan Province, China, between January 2013 and January 2023.

Article Synopsis
  • Black nightshade (Solanum nigrum) is a problematic weed found in cotton fields in Xinjiang, China, exhibiting leaf spots that indicate disease symptoms from 2016 to 2023.
  • In July 2023, 25 samples of the diseased black nightshade plants were collected, and fungal pathogens were isolated using a detailed sterilization and cultivation process.
  • The isolates were identified as Alternaria alternata through morphological analysis and genetic sequencing of specific genes, confirming their identity with 100% sequence similarity in databases like GenBank.
