SCHISTOSOMA MANSONI INFECTION SUPPRESSES THE GROWTH OF PLASMODIUM YOELII PARASITES IN THE LIVER AND REDUCES GAMETOCYTE INFECTIVITY TO MOSQUITOES.

Schistosoma mansoni infection suppresses the growth of Plasmodium yoelii parasites in the liver and reduces gametocyte infectivity to mosquitoes.

Malaria and schistosomiasis are major parasitic diseases causing morbidity and mortality in the tropics.Epidemiological surveys have revealed coinfection rates of up to 30% among children in Sub-Saharan Africa.To investigate the impact of coinfection of these two parasites on disease epidemiology and pathology, we carried out coinfection studies us

Hyperspectral estimation of chlorophyll content in jujube leaves: integration of derivative processing techniques and dimensionality reduction algorithms

The leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) of vegetation is closely related to photosynthetic efficiency and biological activity.Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is a traditional economic forest tree species.Non-destructive monitoring of LCC of jujube is of great significance for guiding agroforestry production and promoting ecological environment protection

Temporal variability of fundamental frequency contours

Intonation is one of the means of performing a speech style.Thus, observing pitch variation in an utterance Cleaners may be a clue to identifying speech style.We design a cumulative slope (CS) index based upon the amount of pitch variation in a measured F0 contour and the duration of that contour.The more pitch changes there are and the greater the

Immature Low-Density Neutrophils Exhibit Metabolic Flexibility that Facilitates Breast Cancer Liver Metastasis

Summary: Neutrophils are phenotypically Hybrid Shorts heterogeneous and exert either anti- or pro-metastatic functions.We show that cancer-cell-derived G-CSF is necessary, but not sufficient, to mobilize immature low-density neutrophils (iLDNs) that promote liver metastasis.In contrast, mature high-density neutrophils inhibit the formation of liver
