Development of a Monoclonal Antibody and a Serodiagnostic Lateral-Flow Device Specific to Rhizopus arrhizus (Syn. R. oryzae), the Principal Global Agent of Mucormycosis in Humans
(MDPI, 21 July 2022)Mucormycosis is a highly aggressive angio-invasive disease of humans caused by fungi in the zygomycete order, Mucorales. Though a number of different species can cause mucormycosis, the principal agent of the disease ... -
Predicting habitat suitability and range shifts under projected climate change for two octocorals in the north-east Atlantic
(PeerJ, 27 May 2022)Species distribution models have become a valuable tool to predict the distribution of species across geographic space and time. In this study, maximum entropy models were constructed for two temperate shallow-water octocoral ... -
MHC class II genotype-by-pathogen genotype interaction for infection prevalence in a natural rodent-Borrelia system
(Wiley, 31 July 2022)MHC genes are extraordinarily polymorphic in most taxa. Host-pathogen coevolution driven by negative frequency-dependent selection (NFDS) is one of the main hypotheses for the maintenance of such immunogenetic variation. ... -
A derived honey bee stock confers resistance to Varroa destructor and associated viral transmission
(Nature Research, 7 April 2022)The ectoparasite Varroa destructor is the greatest threat to managed honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies globally. Despite significant efforts, novel treatments to control the mite and its vectored pathogens have shown ... -
Characterising the orbit and circumstellar environment of the high-mass binary MWC 166 A
(EDP Sciences, 21 September 2022)Context. Stellar evolution models are highly dependent on accurate mass estimates, especially for highly massive stars in the early stages of stellar evolution. The most direct method for obtaining model-independent stellar ...
