Abstract

To understand the risk situation of imported schistosomiasis and its main influencing factors in Shanghai City from 2005 to 2015. A retrospective survey was performed, and the database was established based on the data collection of imported schistosomiasis,Oncomelania hupensissnail situation and mobile population in Shanghai City from 2005 to 2015. From 2005 to 2015, the mobile population in Shanghai City increased by 123.92%, which reached about 9 816 500, and 54.70% of them were located in the inner suburban districts. The accumulated areas with snails of 7.13 hm2were found in 16 towns of 4 outer suburbs (excluding Chongming District). A total of 23 cases of imported schistosomiasis were found in Shanghai City, and the number of the imported schistosomiasis cases was on the downward trend (rs= -0.782,P= 0.004). From 2005 to 2009, 11 out of 13 imported schistosomiasis cases (84.62%) were distributed in the inner suburban districts where noO. hupensissnails were found at the same time. From 2010 to 2015, 9 out of 10 imported schistosomiasis cases (90%) were distributed in the outer suburban districts whereO. hupensissnails were found at the same time. The number of imported schistosomiasis cases in Shanghai is on the downward ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
