Vector competence of Aedes aegypti and screening for differentially expressed microRNAs exposed to Zika virus

Background: Zika virus (ZIKV) is transmitted to people primarily by Aedes aegypti. Earlier research on Ae. aegypti from Jiegao (JG) and Mengding (MD) in Yunnan province, China have proven that these mosquitoes are capable of transmit ZIKV to their offspring by way of vertical transmission, indicating that these two Ae. aegypti strains pose a possible threat…

Growth and adhesion inhibition of pathogenic bacteria by live and heat-killed food-origin Lactobacillus strains or their supernatants

The research aimed to judge qualitatively and quantitatively the antimicrobial capability of ten potential probiotic Lactobacillus strains in opposition to mannequin enteropathogens and spoilage microorganisms. The probiotic strains (stay and heat-killed varieties) had been additionally assessed for his or her means to inhibit adhesion of chosen pathogens to Caco-2 cells. The most important inhibition zones…
