Morphological, biochemical, antibiotic susceptibility and molecular characterization of the isolated bacteria.Results: Bacterial isolate (AL1) was found to be rod, gram negative, catalase positive and oxidase negative. AL1 was identified as Leclercia adecarboxylata (Accession number: OR649235) through 16S rRNA ribotyping. Further, leaf extract of Nyctanthes arbortristis showed inhibitory effect against AL1.Interpretation conclusion: This is the first report on isolation of symbiotic bacteria (L. adecarboxylata) from A. subpictus and its control by leaf extract of Nyctanthes arbortristis. Isolated gram-negative bacterial strain might inhibit the development of mosquito vector and might use for various biological control strategies to combat malaria transmission.","PeriodicalId":17660,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vector Borne Diseases","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141759507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trehalase, an enzyme required for trehalose breakdown, is important for mosquito flight and stress adaptation.

ADMET-AI, a web-based platform, was used to predict the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) properties of the selected compounds.Results: Here in this study, we report 5 natural compounds namely, ZINC00488388, ZINC00488525, ZINC00488566, ZINC00488304, and ZINC00488456 demonstrated strong binding affinity to the trehalase protein. These compounds interacted with critical residues of the trehalase protein and exhibited good drug-like characteristics.Interpretation conclusion: These compounds show promise as trehalase protein inhibitors for malaria management.

It causes death in many poor and developing countries. Excluding vector control, Antimalarial drugs are the most reliable and effective weapon to tackle this severe disease. The emergence of antimalarial drug resistance in Plasmodium spp. becomes a barrier in Malaria elimination program as there has been no effective antimalarial vaccine till today. Apart from artemisinin, most of the antimalarial drugs have become resistant against malaria at present. Although, reduced efficacy of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) has also been reported from southeast regions of Asia. Mutation of some genes within the parasite play a vital role in this drug resistance. Therefore, malaria is still a prime threat to human death and an unsolved problem. Newly emerging approaches like, vaccine development, plants based antimalarial drugs, nanoparticles, next generation antimalarial drugs should be taken & supported.

The expanded range of Ae. aegypti into temperate climates has contributed to the increasing risk of DENV to new human populations. As an effort to better understand the ecology of Ae. aegypti in a temperate climate, larval surveillance was conducted to identify oviposition locations of this species from 2016-2018 in two nonincorporated communities located in El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico.Methods: This survey was conducted inside and outside private residences examining any possible water holding containers to collect with a dipper, turkey baster, or Pasteur pipette. Larvae and pupae were transported to the laboratory and reared to adults for morphological identification. A total of 601 Ae. aegypti larvae were collected and reared to adults from 24 containers in the Sparks community. In contrast, a total of 68 Ae. aegypti were collected and reared to adults from seven containers in the Anapra community.Results: In both locations, the predominant container type that yielded immature mosquitoes were plastic buckets.

This study analyzed recent surveillance data to elucidate drivers of sustained transmission. A retrospective, epidemiological study was conducted using malaria surveillance data from the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia over a 3-year period from January 2018 to December 2020.Methods: Deidentified records of all confirmed malaria cases reported across Jazan during the study period were obtained from the Jazan Department of Health infectious disease surveillance system. Additional meteorological data was acquired to assess climatic correlates. The final analysis included 5255 confirmed cases meeting completeness criteria for key variables. Descriptive statistics characterized cases across demographic factors and spatial and temporal distributions. Correlations and linear regression modeling identified associations between monthly cases and weather parameters. Mapping visualized geographic patterns.Results: Of 5255 confirmed cases, most were concentrated in Baish sector (50.8-72.0% annually), affected adult male foreigners (93.8-97.0%), peaked inconsistently across seasons, and were imported (85.4-94.9%). Non-Saudi nationality had 6-fold higher incidence versus Saudi citizens in 2020 (677.6 vs 23.1 per 100,000). Monthly cases associated negatively with temperature (p=0.015) and positively with windspeed (p=0.005).Interpretation conclusion: Malaria persistence in Jazan involves geographic and demographic hotspots driven by imported infections and climate effects on vectors.
