Aedes albopictus, originally considered as a secondary vector for arbovirus transmission, especially in areas where this species co-exist with Aedes aegypti, has been described in most regions of the world.Dispersion and domiciliation of Ae.albopictus in a complex of densely urbanized slums in Rio de Janeiro, Southeastern Brazil, was evidenced.In t
COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has presented formidable challenges to global health since its emergence in late 2019.While primarily known for respiratory symptoms, it can also affect the ocular surface.This review summarizes the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on ocular surface immunity and inflammation, focusing on infection mechanisms, immune responses,
BackgroundSelf-care as an extension of health care systems can increase Idler Pulleys access to care.The development of programs and generation of evidence to support self-care in sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is a relatively nascent field.We undertook a study to identify and prioritize evidence gaps for SRH self-care.MethodsWe used the CHNR
Global temperatures are expected to increase due to climate change, and heat stress is one of the major limiting factors affecting future agriculture.To identify plant-associated microorganisms which can promote heat stress tolerance in wheat, we have screened several bacteria isolated from etiolated seedlings of the invasive noxious weed Partheniu
The additional passing lanes and 2+1 roads improve significant road safety.Studies indicate sections with additional passing lanes (relief or alternately), which may cause reduction in the number of accidents by 50%.However, how geometric design affects the safety performance of such sections is not in depth investigated.Previous studies are carrie
