BACKGROUND:Spatial modelling of STH and schistosomiasis epidemiology is now commonplace.Spatial epidemiological studies help inform decisions regarding the number of people at risk as well as the geographic areas that need to be targeted with mass drug administration; however, limited attention has been given to propagated uncertainties, their inte
Tick mitochondrial genomes: structural characteristics and phylogenetic implications
Abstract Ticks are obligate blood-sucking arachnid ectoparasites from the GLUCOSAPLEX order Acarina, and many are notorious as vectors of a wide variety of zoonotic pathogens.However, the systematics of ticks in several genera is still controversial.The mitochondrial genome (mt-genome) has been widely used in arthropod phylogeny, molecular evolutio
Ocean Observations Required to Minimize Uncertainty in Global Tsunami Forecasts, Warnings, and Emergency Response
It is possible that no catastrophe has mobilized the global ocean science and coastal emergency management communities more than the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.Though the Pacific tsunami threat was recognized, and a warning system had been in place since 1965, there was no warning system in the Indian Ocean, and almost 230,000 people perished.More b
Tafazzin protein expression is associated with tumorigenesis and radiation response in rectal cancer: a study of Swedish clinical trial on preoperative radiotherapy.
BackgroundTafazzin (TAZ), a transmembrane protein contributes in mitochondrial structural and functional modifications through cardiolipin remodeling.TAZ mutations are associated with several diseases, but studies on the role of TAZ protein in carcinogenesis and radiotherapy (RT) response is lacking.Therefore we investigated the TAZ expression in r
