Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging arbovirus of the Flaviviridae family, which includes dengue, West Nile, yellow fever, and Japanese encephalitis viruses, that causes a mosquito-borne disease transmitted by Aedes genus, with recent outbreaks in South Pacific. Here we examine importance human skin entry ZIKV its contribution to induction antiviral immune responses. We show dermal fibroblasts, epidermal keratinocytes, immature dendritic cells are permissive most isolate, responsible for...
The purpose of this study was to review published studies on the variability age at menarche and menopause throughout world, identify main causes for variation in timing these events. We first present a summary table including mean (or median) values 67 countries, 26 countries. General linear models showed that strongly linked female life expectancy, suggesting one or several variables responsible inequalities longevity similarly influenced onset menarche. A closer examination data revealed...
This scholarly work is the most comprehensive existing resource on human physical appearance - how people's outer characteristics and their inner perceptions attitudes about own (body image) affect lives. The encyclopedia's 117 full-length chapters are composed edited by world's experts from a range of disciplines-social, behavioral, biomedical sciences. extensive topical coverage in this valuable reference includes: important theories, perspectives, concepts for understanding body image...
Summary The spread of antimicrobial resistance is major concern for human health and leads to growing economic costs. While it increasingly hypothesized that wildlife could play an important role in antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria dynamics, empirical data remain scarce. present work builds on a systematic review the available order highlight main information we have suggest research pathways should be followed if aim fill gaps our current knowledge. To achieve this goal, address four...
Abstract Cancer is a ubiquitous disease of metazoans, predicted to disproportionately affect larger, long-lived organisms owing their greater number cell divisions, and thus increased probability somatic mutations 1,2 . While elevated cancer risk with larger body size and/or longevity has been documented within species 3–5 , Peto’s paradox indicates the apparent lack such an association among taxa 6 Yet, unequivocal empirical evidence for lacking, stemming from difficulty estimating in...
Abstract Several anecdotal reports in the literature have suggested that insects parasitized by hairworms (Nematomorpha) commit `suicide' jumping into an aquatic environment needed adult worm for continuation of its life cycle. Based on 2 years observations at a swimming pool open air, we saw this aberrant behaviour nine insect species followed emergence hairworms. We conducted field and laboratory experiments order to compare infected uninfected individuals cricket Nemobius sylvestris. The...
The ultimate stage of the transmission Dengue Virus (DENV) to man is strongly dependent on crosstalk between virus and immune system its vector Aedes aegypti (Ae. aegypti). Infection mosquito's salivary glands by DENV final step prior viral transmission. Therefore, in present study, we have determined modulatory effects infection response this organ carrying out a functional genomic analysis uninfected female Ae. mosquitoes infected with DENV. We shown that up-regulates expression genes...
The diversity of ways in which parasites manipulate the phenotype their hosts to increase transmission has been well-documented during past decades. Parasites clearly have potential alter a broad range phenotypic traits hosts, extending from behaviour and colour morphology physiology. While vast majority studies concentrated on few, often only one, host characters, there is increasing evidence that manipulative multiple characteristics host's phenotype. These alterations can occur...
To test for the effects of host accessibility on blood-feeding behavior, we assessed degrees anthropophily malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae at two stages behavioral sequence foraging, in a rice growing area near Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, where humans are not readily accessible because years generalized use (mostly non-impregnated) bed nets. First, patterns selection were by identification blood meal origin indoor-resting samples. Inherent preferences then determined odor-baited entry...
Many parasites modify their host behaviour to improve own transmission and survival, but the proximate mechanisms remain poorly understood. An original model consists of parasitoid Dinocampus coccinellae its coccinellid host, Coleomegilla maculata ; during manipulation, is not in contact with anymore. We report herein discovery characterization a new RNA virus ( D. paralysis virus, DcPV). Using combination RT-qPCR electron microscopy, we demonstrate that DcPV stored oviduct females,...
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an emerging arbovirus of the Togaviridae family that poses a present worldwide threat to human in absence any licensed vaccine or antiviral treatment control viral infection. Here, we show compounds interfering with intracellular cholesterol transport have capacity inhibit CHIKV replication skin fibroblasts, major entry site host. Pretreatment these cells class II cationic amphiphilic compound U18666A, FDA-approved antidepressant drug imipramine resulted near...
Abstract The application of evolutionary and ecological principles to cancer prevention treatment, as well recognizing a selection force in nature, has gained impetus over the last 50 years. Following initial theoretical approaches that combined knowledge from interdisciplinary fields, it became clear using eco‐evolutionary framework is key importance understand cancer. We are now at pivotal point where accumulating evidence starts steer future directions discipline allows us underpin...
Significance Because dengue viruses are spread by mosquitoes during biting, transmission capacity depends on mosquito-biting behavior. For this reason, it is critical to understand how infection in influences biting. To answer question, we deployed a multidisciplinary approach including high-resolution, multivariate biting behavior monitoring mice, vivo assay, and mathematical modeling. We demonstrated that infected more attracted mice bite often get the same amount of blood as uninfected...
Inter-individual transmission of cancer cells represents a unique form microparasites increasingly reported in marine bivalves. In this study, we sought to understand the ecology propagation Mytilus trossulus Bivalve Transmissible Neoplasia 2 (MtrBTN2), transmissible affecting four mussel species worldwide. We investigated prevalence MtrBTN2 mosaic hybrid zone M. edulis and galloprovincialis along French Atlantic coast, sampling contrasting natural anthropogenic habitats. observed similar...
