, the causative agent of Chagas disease, is primarily transmitted to humans by hematophagous bugs of the Triatominae subfamily. In the Colombian Caribbean region, particularly on Margarita Island, transmission is highly endemic and associated with vectors such as and . Additionally, -infected are commonly found in close proximity to human dwellings. Given the complex transmission dynamics involving various domestic and non-domestic hosts, this study aimed to analyze 145 clones from twelve strains isolated from , and using spliced leader intergenic region (SL-IR) sequences and nine polymorphic microsatellite loci. The results indicate the presence of a single polymorphic population, suggesting sustained local transmission dynamics between triatomines adapted to forests and peridomestic areas inhabited by synanthropic mammal reservoir such as . Notably, this population appears to lack substructure, highlighting the importance of adopting an alternative eco-health approach to complement traditional chemical vector control methods for more effective and sustainable interruption of transmission.

The applications of resveratrol (RES) and puerarin (PUE) with notable physiological functions are greatly limited in functional food and pharmaceutical industries due to their poor water solubility and chemical instability. Accordingly, co-loading of RES and PUE into chitosan-based nanoparticles (NPs) is performed here by an anti-solvent method to improve their bioavailability. The fabricated NPs at 8:1 mass ratio of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) to chitosan hydrochloride (CHC) with the particle size of 375.

Background: The risk of mosquito-borne disease transmission is increasing in temperate climates with the colonization and proliferation of the Asian tiger mosquito vector Aedes albopictus and the rapid mass transport of passengers returning from tropical regions where viruses are endemic. The prevention of major Aedes-borne viruses heavily relies on the use of insecticides for vector control, mainly pyrethroids. In Europe, only deltamethrin is authorized.

The propagation of public opinion in multilingual environments presents unique challenges due to the diversity of languages, cultures, and values. This study develops an SEIR-based model tailored for multilingual contexts, incorporating mechanisms such as social enhancement, forgetting, and cross-transmission. The model's purpose is to improve transparency, inclusivity, and effectiveness in public opinion management, particularly in diverse linguistic settings.

The current manuscript presents a mathematical model of dengue fever transmission with an asymptomatic compartment to capture infection dynamics in the presence of uncertainty. The model is fuzzified using triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs) approach. The obtained fuzzy-fractional dengue model is then solved and analyzed through fuzzy extension of modified residual power series algorithm, which utilizes residual power series along with Laplace transform.

Dried blood spots from 30,815 participants aged 6 months to 15 years from the 2018 Nigeria HIV/AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey were analyzed by multiplex bead-based assay to measure immunoglobulin G (IgG) to Pf-stage-specific MSP-1, AMA-1, GLURPR0, LSA-1, and CSP. These IgG levels were analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA).
