Analysis of Severe and Relapse Risks of Imported Malaria in Five Provinces of China.

Although China has achieved malaria elimination certification, the risk of malaria transmission reintroduction due to imported malaria remains. We analyzed data on imported malaria cases collected from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2021, using multivariable logistic regression analysis to identify the factors associated with severe and relapsing malaria. The odds of severe malaria were around 4-fold greater for patients who were initially diagnosed with a nonmalarial illness than for patients initially diagnosed with malaria.

Visual codon: a user-friendly Python program for viewing and optimizing gene GC content.

Due to the codon bias of different species, codon optimization is usually carried out in the process of heterologous protein expression. At present, there are a variety of codon optimization tools. However, the optimized sequences may still have high or low points of local guanine and cytosine (GC) content, which is not conducive to the primer design of gene subcloning, and also makes it difficult to perform the experiment of synthesizing the whole gene with DNA fragments by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reaction.

Microbial degradation mechanisms, degradation pathways, and genetic engineering for pyrethroids: current knowledge and future perspectives.

Pyrethroids are synthetic products derived from natural pyrethroids present in flowers and are extensively used as pesticides for agriculture, animal husbandry, and household pest control. However, excessive and prolonged usage of pyrethroid insecticides can result in adverse effects on both non-target and target species. Therefore, effective technologies need to be developed to remove pyrethroid contamination and ensure environmental safety.

Conformational changes in and translocation of small proteins: insights into the ejection mechanism of podophages.

Unlabelled: Podophage tails are too short to span the cell envelope during infection. Consequently, podophages initially eject the core proteins within the head for the formation of an elongated trans-envelope channel for DNA ejection. Although the core proteins of bacteriophage T7 have been resolved at near-atomic resolution, the mechanisms of core proteins and DNA ejection remain to be fully elucidated.
