Two colonies of Aedes aegypti were established from two independent collections from Vero Beach, Florida. Eleven sequential generations of the first colony were tested for variation in oral susceptibility to infection with yellow fever virus (YFV). Each generation was also assayed for genetic
Brucella abortus is a gram-negative, facultative intracellular pathogen that causes brucellosis, a chronic zoonotic disease resulting in abortion in pregnant cattle and undulant fever in humans. Malate dehydrogenase (MDH), a key enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, plays important metabolic roles
BACKGROUND
Ticks (Family Ixodidae) transmit a variety of disease causing agents to humans and animals. The tick-borne flaviviruses (TBFs; family Flaviviridae) are a complex of viruses, many of which cause encephalitis and hemorrhagic fever, and represent global threats to human health and
Mitochondrial diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders in which a primary mitochondrial dysfunction is proven by morphological, biochemical, and genetic examinations. The mitral valve has important function in the regulation of blood flow from one chamber to another. Often, the mitral valve

Dengue fever is a viral disease transmitted by the Aedes aegypti Linn. (1792) (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquito, which is endemic in several regions of Brazil. Alternative methods for the control of the vector include botanical insecticides, which offer advantages such as lower environmental
Coxiella burnetii, an obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacterium, is the etiological agent of Q fever. This work takes advantage of a hypersensitive Escherichia coli genetic system to identify genes involved in resistance to nitrosative stress imposed by reactive nitrogen intermediates. Among
A zoonotic pathogen, Brucella spp. is the causative agent of brucellosis, which results in abortion and loss in milk production in domestic animals, and undulant fever, osteoarticular pain and splenomegaly in humans. Due to the capability of the bacteria to modulate the host cell functions and
