ABSTRACT The structure of the insect head has long been a topic enjoyable yet endless debate among entomologists. More recently geneticists and molecular biologists trying to better understand Dipteran Drosophila melanogaster have joined discourse extrapolating from what they learned about insects in general. Here we present results an investigation into as revealed by distribution engrailed related protein (Engrailed) orders Diptera, Siphonaptera, Orthoptera Hemiptera. this comparative...
ABSTRACT The products of the HOM/Hox homeotic genes form a set evolutionarily conserved transcription factors that control elaborate developmental processes and specify cell fates in many metazoans. We examined expression ortholog gene Sex combs reduced (Scr) Drosophila melanogaster insects three divergent orders: Hemiptera, Orthoptera Thysanura. Our data reflect how conservation variation Scr has affected morphological evolution insects. Whereas anterior epidermal Scr, small part posterior...
SUMMARY To understand better both the development and evolution of insect mouthparts, we have compared expression pattern several developmentally important genes in insects with either mandibulate or stylate‐haustellate mouthparts. Specifically, examined proboscipedia ( pb ) Distal‐less Dll gene products as well three regulators pb, Sex combs reduced Scr ), Deformed Dfd cap ‘n’ collar cnc ). These are known to control identity cells gnathal segments Drosophila melanogaster would appear...
In insects, selector genes are thought to modify the development of a default, or `ground state', appendage into tagma-specific such as mouthpart, antenna leg. best described example, Drosophila melanogaster, primary determination leg identity is result from regulatory interactions between Hox and antennal-specifying gene homothorax. Based on RNA-interference, functional analysis tiptop Antennapedia in Oncopeltus fasciatus embryogenesis presented. It shown that, O. fasciatus, required for...
Background: The practice of self-medication is common worldwide and an important component medical self-care. However, the can be dangerous linked to various risks for patients entire community. This study aimed estimate prevalence factors associated with among Bangladeshi adults. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted between April June 2021 adults (aged >19 years) using convenient sampling. total 1320 data were collected through face-to-face interviews a standardized...
Background: The practice of self-medication (SM) is common worldwide and an important component medical self-care. However, improper can be dangerous. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence SM factors associated with it among Bangladeshi adults. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted between April June 2021 adults (aged > 19 years) using convenient sampling. total 1320 subjects were collected through face-to-face interviews a standardized questionnaire. Multivariable...
Pig-1 and Sgs-4 are a pair of closely linked divergently transcribed Drosophila melanogaster genes, which both expressed in larval salivary glands but at different times during development. While is high levels only the end third instar, exhibits major peak expression late second early instar. Thus, declines as induced. In this paper, we show that three adjacent elements located within short region between these genes can account for switch from to expression. A 170-bp segment acts an...
ABSTRACT Aim This study aimed to evaluate the food safety knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of Bangladeshi consumers investigate their associations with various demographic factors. Methods national cross‐sectional utilized a face‐to‐face survey using structured questionnaire recruit 1400 adult between September 2022 November 2022. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed determine factors associated KAP. Results The current findings revealed that had moderate knowledge...
Background: COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, remains a global public health concern despite the availability of effective antiviral treatment against multiple strains. Studies have shown that pregnant women are more susceptible to COVID-19 due altered physiology and immunological features. Therefore, this study was designed investigate women’s knowledge, attitudes, practice (KAP) prevent determine factors associated with KAP. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional conducted among 425 in...

Background: COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is still a global public health concern due to the absence of effective antiviral treatment against different strains. Studies have shown that pregnant women are more susceptible COVID-19 altered physiology and immunological features. Therefore, this study was designed investigate women's knowledge, attitudes, practice (KAP) prevent determine factors associated with KAP.

Abstract The homeotic gene Hoxa1 plays a pivotal role in regulating embryonic pattern formation and morphogenesis during mouse embryogenesis. However, despite the identification of number putative target genes, intricate regulatory relationships between these targets remain largely elusive. Leveraging advancements high-throughput technologies sophisticated computational methods, we aimed to infer Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) governed by that direct cellular function, morphology, and/or...
This work has global significance in the catfish industry, which provides food for increasing populations. E. ictaluri is a leading cause of disease loss, and EseN an important player virulence. The T3SS effector plays essential role establishing infection, but specific not well characterized. belongs to family phosphothreonine lyase effectors that specifically target host mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways regulating responses infection. No equivalents are known eukaryotes,...
