Lack of abundant core virome in Culex mosquitoes from a temperate climate region despite a mosquito species-specific virome

The study profiles the virome of Culex and Aedes mosquitoes in Belgium, finding no abundant core virome and identifying 45 viruses, 28 novel, with species-specific patterns and Wolbachia prevalence.

A Library of Electrophysiological Responses in Plants - A Model of Transversal Education and Open Science

The paper describes an open science project where students recorded electrophysiological responses in plants to stimuli, finding 60% of plants showed delayed responses with conduction velocities of 2-9 mm/s.

Belgian Culex pipiens pipiens are competent vectors for West Nile virus but not Usutu virus

The study assesses vector competence of Belgian Culex mosquitoes for West Nile and Usutu viruses, finding Culex pipiens pipiens transmits WNV but not USUV, while Culex modestus transmits USUV but not WNV, with Wolbachia presence species-specific.

Identification of a Culturable Fungal Species and Endosymbiotic Bacteria in Saliva of Aedes aegypti and Culex pipiens and Their Impact on Arbovirus Infection in Vitro

This study identifies culturable fungi and bacteria in mosquito saliva and shows their impact on arbovirus infection in vitro.

Rhytidome- and cork-type barks of holm oak, cork oak and their hybrids highlight processes leading to cork formation

The paper compares the outer bark of cork oak, holm oak, and their hybrids to identify gene expression patterns and processes involved in cork and rhytidome formation.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the constitutive bark of Q. ilex x Q. suber hybrids

This study qualitatively and quantitatively analyzes the bark of Q. ilex x Q. suber hybrids, identifying intermediate and unique features and suggesting hybridization-induced genetic expression changes.

A single shot of a hybrid hAdV5-based anti-COVID-19 vaccine induces a long-lasting immune response and broad coverage against VOC

This paper describes a single-dose hybrid hAdV5-based vaccine that induces long-lasting immunity and broad neutralization against SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Mobile microscopy and telemedicine platform assisted by deep learning for quantification of Trichuris trichiura infection.

This paper presents a mobile microscopy and telemedicine platform with deep learning for automated quantification of Trichuris trichiura infection, achieving high precision and recall in stool sample analysis.
