Climate change and the rising infectiousness of dengue
Tập 3 Số 2 - Trang 133-142 - 2019
Abstract The disease burden of dengue has been steadily rising over the last
half-century due to a multitude of factors, including global trade and travel,
urbanization, population growth, and climate variability and change, that
facilitate conductive conditions for the proliferation of dengue vectors and
viruses. This review describes how climate, specifically temperature, affects
the vectors’ ab...
Metabolomics as an emerging tool to study plant–microbe interactions
Tập 6 Số 2 - Trang 175-183 - 2022
In natural environments, interaction between plant roots and microorganisms are
common. These interactions between microbial species and plants inhabited by
them are being studied using various techniques. Metabolomics research based on
mass spectrometric techniques is one of the crucial approaches that underpins
system biology and relies on precision instrument analysis. In the last decade,
this ...
The difficult case of an RNA-only origin of life
Tập 3 Số 5 - Trang 469-475 - 2019
The RNA world hypothesis is probably the most extensively studied model for the
emergence of life on Earth. Despite a large body of evidence supporting the idea
that RNA is capable of kick-starting autocatalytic self-replication and thus
initiating the emergence of life, seemingly insurmountable weaknesses in the
theory have also been highlighted. These problems could be overcome by novel
experime...
On-farm biosecurity in livestock production: farmer behaviour, cultural identities and practices of care
Tập 4 Số 5 - Trang 521-530 - 2020
Definitions of biosecurity typically include generalised statements about how
biosecurity risks on farms should be managed and contained. However, in reality,
on-farm biosecurity practices are uneven and transfer differently between social
groups, geographical scales and agricultural commodity chains. This paper
reviews social science studies that examine on-farm biosecurity for animal
health. We ...
The ecotoxicological consequences of microplastics and co-contaminants in aquatic organisms: a mini-review
Tập 6 Số 4 - Trang 339-348 - 2022
Microplastics (MPs, <5 mm in size) are a grave environmental concern. They
are a ubiquitous persistent pollutant group that has reached into all parts of
the environment — from the highest mountain tops to the depths of the ocean.
During their production, plastics have added to them numerous chemicals in the
form of plasticizers, colorants, fillers and stabilizers, some of which have
known toxi...
Quantifying CRISPR off-target effects
Tập 3 Số 3 - Trang 327-334 - 2019
Abstract Recent advances in the era of genetic engineering have significantly
improved our ability to make precise changes in the genomes of human cells.
Throughout the years, clinical trials based on gene therapies have led to the
cure of diseases such as X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID-X1),
adenosine deaminase deficiency (ADA-SCID) and Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome. Despite
the succes...
