A female-biased sex ratio is considered advantageous for the cytoplasmic elements that inhabit sexually reproducing organisms. There are numerous examples of bacterial symbionts in arthropod cytoplasm bias host toward females through various means, including feminization and male killing. Recently, maternally inherited RNA viruses belonging to family Partitiviridae were found cause killing moths flies, but it was unknown whether male-killing restricted or could be other taxa.

HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) is a complication of chronic inflammation caused by HIV infection that impairs cognitive and motor functions. HAND can occur at any age, regardless the duration infection, even in people living with (PLWH) whose blood viral load controlled antiretroviral therapy. The diagnosis requires battery neuropsychological tests, which time-consuming burdensome, limiting its effectiveness for screening PLWH. Here, we aimed to identify biomarkers...
Abstract A patient in Japan with HIV began antiretroviral therapy because of acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) 15 years ago, low surface antibody, and experienced breakthrough HBV reactivation 4 months after switching from bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide to cabotegravir/rilpivirine. An immune escape mutation, E164V, was identified the isolated DNA.
