Ahead of PrintTsetse Flies and African Trypanosomiasis: Biology, Epidemiology, and Integrated Vector Control.
Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) are hematophagous dipterans confined to sub-Saharan Africa and serve as cyclical vectors of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) and African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT), with major implications for human health, livestock productivity, and rural development.
KEY WORDS- Tsetse fly, Glossina, Human African trypanosomiasis, African animal trypanosomiasis, Vector control, Sterile insect technique.
Medically Important Hemiptera: Bed Bugs and Kissing Bugs in Human Health.
Bed bugs (family Cimicidae) and kissing bugs (subfamily Triatominae) are hematophagous Hemiptera of major medical importance, yet they differ markedly in their public health impact. Bed bugs have resurged globally over the past three decades, with infestations reported from homes, multi-unit housing, hotels, transportation, and healthcare facilities in both high and low-income settings.
Keywords: Bed bugs, Cimicidae; Kissing bugs, Triatominae, Chagas disease, Vector-borne disease, Bed bug infestation, Integrated pest management, Insecticide resistance, One Health
Demodex spp. (Acari: Demodicidae) Infestation in Humans: Diagnostic Clues and Therapeutic Approaches to Primary and Secondary Demodicosis.
Demodicosis represents an inflammatory dermatosis and adnexal disorder arising from pathologic overgrowth of Demodex mites, primarily Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, which are ubiquitous human ectoparasites residing in pilosebaceous units and eyelid margins.
Keywords: Demodicosis, Demodex folliculorum, Demodex brevis, blepharitis, ivermectin, standardized skin surface biopsy, rosacea-like eruption, acaricidal therapy.
Artificial Intelligence in Entomology: Global Advances, Applications, and Future Directions in Insect Research and Pest Management
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming entomology by enabling scalable, data-driven approaches to insect identification, ecological monitoring, and sustainable pest management.
Keywords: artificial intelligence; entomology; machine learning; pest management; biodiversity monitoring; precision agriculture; ecological modeling.
Interaction of Mosquito’s hppd Enzyme with Lansoprazole Sulfide A New Hope to Tackle the Mosquito Menace – an in-Silico Study
Tyrosine detoxification is an important physiological process that helps blood-feeding insects, such as mosquitoes that transmit Plasmodium parasites causing malaria, digest their blood meals.
Keywords: 7-methyl xanthine, enzyme, HPPD, Lansoprazole sulfide, Lansoprazole sulfone, mosquitoes, tyrosine detoxification
