<title>Abstract</title> Why cancer is so prevalent among mammals, despite the fact that some species evolved resistance mechanisms, remains an open question. We hypothesized incidence might have been fine-tuned by evolution. Using public databases, we show with cooperative habits lower risk. By developing a novel mathematical model provide mechanistic explanation: higher of in older and less reproductive individuals can lead to counterintuitive increases population size within competitive...
Treatment-free remission (TFR) is a key therapeutic goal for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients in deep molecular response (DMR). While predicting patient outcome remains challenging, different NK cell populations seem crucial. We conducted an immunological sub-study from the Argentina Stop Trial (AST), including 46 2019 (AST I) and 35 new between 2022 2023 II). To characterize subsets attempting TFR, peripheral blood mononuclear samples were collected before stopping treatment...
Abstract Background As no globally accepted dengue vaccines or specific antiviral therapies are currently available, controlling breeding sites of Aedes aegypti is a target to prevent outbreaks. The present study aimed characterize outdoor artificial in urban households using an exhaustive classification system. Methods A cross-sectional entomological survey was carried out Colón city, Entre Ríos, Argentina, two-stage stratified sampling design during March and April 2014. city given the...
Abstract Insect flight is a complex trait involved in different behaviors, from the search for sexual partners, food, or breeding sites. Many studies have postulated adaptive advantages of certain morphological traits relation to increased capacity, such as low values wing loading high wing:thorax ratio and wing–aspect ratio. However, few evaluated relationship between variables related Drosophila . This work aimed study males females two pairs sibling species: buzzatii Patterson Wheeler‐...
Abstract It has been demonstrated that phenotypic plasticity and genotype by environment interaction are important for coping with new heterogeneous environments during invasions. Zaprionus indianus Gupta (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is an Afrotropical invasive fly species introduced to the South American continent in 1999. This generalist polyphagous, since it develops feeds several different fruit species. These characteristics of Z. suggest may be this invasion process. In sense, our aim was...
The capacity to lay eggs inside healthy fruits rather than on decaying plant matter differentiates insect fruit pests from domestic species. This niche differentiation has been previously proposed be an adaptation avoid competition. We hypothesize that pest species will more strongly affected by compare the impact of larvae density fitness traits between Drosophila ( suzukii (Matsumura, 1931); Zaprionus indianus Gupta, 1970) and immigrans Sturtevant, 1921; melanogaster Meigen, 1830)....
<title>Abstract</title> The development of cancer has been traditionally seen as a ‘side-effect’ other processes under selection or conceived selectively neutral since tends to occur after reproduction1. Although some mammals present molecular mechanisms that confer resistance developing tumors, is widely distributed throughout the tree life2–4. In fact, ecological systems can experience counterintuitive increases in population size, phenomenon known hydra effect, when subpopulation exhibits...
Abstract The aim of this study was to explore through cross-sectional the variation in prevalence parasitic helminths canine faeces collected from green spaces Buenos Aires according human density (HD) and economic level (EL) surroundings. HD EL were considered as independent variables with three categories each. Twenty public squares (one hectare surface) randomly selected for each existing combination two variables. Ten random samples fresh obtained square analysed by sedimentation...
