Sustainable Dengue Prevention and Management: Integrating Dengue Vaccination Strategies with Population Perspectives.

The GEMKAP study (2023) unveiled consistent knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) levels across Asia-Pacific (APAC) and Latin America (LATAM) countries regarding dengue, with variations in the willingness to vaccinate. Despite an overall KAP parity, the disparities within and between the countries indicated the need for both overarching and tailored strategies. Population-wide gaps in dengue awareness result in suboptimal vaccination priorities and preventive measures. This commentary delves into identifying the drivers and barriers for implementing a multi-pronged dengue prevention and management program, emphasizing the pivotal role of vaccination alongside education and vector control. Drawing on expert interviews in APAC and LATAM, informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), four key themes emerged: prioritizing and continuously advocating for dengue on national health agendas, fostering stakeholder collaboration, incorporating population perspectives for behavioral change, and designing sustainable dengue prevention and management programs. Successful implementation requires evidence-based decision making and a comprehensive understanding of population dynamics to design adaptive education tailored to diverse population views. This commentary provides actionable strategies for enhancing dengue prevention and management, with a pronounced emphasis on dengue vaccination, advocating for a holistic, population-centric approach for sustained effectiveness.

Bactericidal killing of meningococcal W strains isolated in Argentina by the sera of adolescents and infants immunized with 4-component meningococcal serogroup B vaccine (4CMenB).

Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a life-threatening disease caused by meningococcal serogroups A, B, C, W, X, and Y, of which B and W are most common in Argentina. The 4-component meningococcal serogroup B (4CMenB) vaccine contains three purified recombinant protein antigens (Neisseria adhesin A [NadA], factor H binding protein [fHbp], and Neisserial Heparin Binding Antigen [NHBA]) and outer membrane vesicles (OMV), which is derived from the New Zealand epidemic strain and contains Porin A 1.4. These antigens are present and conserved in strains that belong to other serogroups. In this study, we show that 10/11 (91%) meningococcal serogroup W (MenW) strains selected to be representative of MenW isolates that caused IMD in Argentina during 2010-2011 were killed in bactericidal assays by the sera of adolescents and infants who had been immunized with the 4CMenB vaccine. We also show that MenW strains that caused IMD in Argentina during 2018-2021 were genetically similar to the earlier strains, indicating that the 4CMenB vaccine would likely still provide protection against current MenW strains. These data highlight the potential of 4CMenB vaccination to protect adolescents and infants against MenW strains that are endemic in Argentina.

O feminino em jogo: a concepção de mundo de mulheres gamers / The feminine at the game: the conception of the world of women gamers / Lo femenino en juego: la creación del mundo de las mujeres gamers

RESUMO Nesta investigação, buscou-se compreender a concepção de mundo das mulheres gamers, no sentido das relações e dos papéis sociais. Trata-se de uma pesquisa sociodramática, que transita entre pesquisa-intervenção e pesquisa-ação crítica, realizada com um grupo composto de quatro mulheres que se autodeclaram gamers e que foram acessadas de forma sociométrica (método snowball). A análise dos dados ocorreu com base nos preceitos epistemológicos e teóricos da socionomia e da pedagogia psicodramática. Como resultados, destacam-se as conservas culturais trazidas pelas mulheres em relação ao ser mulher nos games e como adversidades de que maneira a sexualização dos corpos, o assédio, a diminuição do feminino e outras violências são repetidos nos jogos eletrônicos.

ABSTRACT This research sought to understand the conception of the world of women gamers, in the sense of relationships and social roles. It is a sociodramatic investigation, which transits between intervention research and critical action research, carried out with a group composed of four women who declare themselves gamers and who were accessed in a sociometric way (snowball method). Data analysis was carried out from the epistemological and theoretical precepts of socionomy and psychodramatic pedagogy. As a result, the cultural conserves brought by women in relation to being a woman in games stand out, as well as how adversities such as the sexualization of bodies, harassment, the reduction of feminine and other violences are repeated in electronic games.

RESUMEN Esta investigación buscó comprender la concepción del mundo de las mujeres gamers, en el sentido de las relaciones y roles sociales.

El análisis de datos se realizó a partir de los preceptos epistemológicos y teóricos de la Socionomía y la pedagogía psicodramática. Como resultado, se destacan las conservas culturales que traen las mujeres en relación al ser mujer en los juegos y cómo adversidades como la sexualización de los cuerpos, el acoso, la reducción de la violencia femenina y otras, se repiten en los juegos electrónicos.

Non-canonical odor coding in the mosquito.

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are a persistent human foe, transmitting arboviruses including dengue when they feed on human blood. Mosquitoes are intensely attracted to body odor and carbon dioxide, which they detect using ionotropic chemosensory receptors encoded by three large multi-gene families. Genetic mutations that disrupt the olfactory system have modest effects on human attraction, suggesting redundancy in odor coding. The canonical view is that olfactory sensory neurons each express a single chemosensory receptor that defines its ligand selectivity. We discovered that Ae. aegypti uses a different organizational principle, with many neurons co-expressing multiple chemosensory receptor genes. In vivo electrophysiology demonstrates that the broad ligand-sensitivity of mosquito olfactory neurons depends on this non-canonical co-expression. The redundancy afforded by an olfactory system in which neurons co-express multiple chemosensory receptors may increase the robustness of the mosquito olfactory system and explain our long-standing inability to disrupt the detection of humans by mosquitoes.

[Neonatal ophthalmia caused by Herpes Simplex Virus type I]. / Oftalmía neonatal causada por Virus Herpes Simple tipo I.

There are different etiologies of neonatal ophthalmia such as viral ones. Among them, the Herpes simplex virus, both type I and II, is particularly relevant due to its potential severity. It is a rare, in frequent entity, but with a high rate of morbidity and mortality without appropriate diagnosis and management. OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of neonatal ophthalmia caused by Herpes Virus type I, its clinical characteristics, and correct diagnosis. CLINICAL CASE: 8-days old newborn, with no notable history, presenting edema and erythema of eyelids, accompanied by bilateral ocular discharge. Her pes Virus type I infection was diagnosed by PCR, without evidence of disseminated disease or central nervous system involvement. He received full treatment with intravenous Acyclovir with complete clinical improvement. CONCLUSIONS: Herpes Simplex Virus should always be considered as a diffe rential diagnosis in all neonatal ophthalmia. Early and timely diagnosis and treatment are of vital importance.

Baculovirus infection affects caterpillar chemoperception.

Baculoviruses are double-stranded DNA entomopathogenic viruses that infect predominantly insects of the order Lepidoptera. Research in the last decade has started to disentangle the mechanisms underlying the insect-virus interaction, particularly focusing on the effects of the baculovirus infection in the host's physiology. Among crucial physiological functions, olfaction has a key role in reproductive tasks, food source detection and enemy avoidance. In this work, we describe that Spodoptera exigua multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV) induces expression changes in some odorant receptors (ORs) - the centrepiece of insect's olfaction - when infecting larvae from its natural host Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Different ORs are up-regulated in larvae after SeMNPV infection, and two of them, SexiOR35 and SexiOR23, were selected for further functional characterization by heterologous expression in empty neurons of Drosophila melanogaster coupled to single-sensillum recordings. SexiOR35 appears to be a broadly tuned receptor able to recognise multiple and different chemical compounds. SexiOR23, although correctly expressed in Drosophila neurons, did not display any significant response to a panel of 58 stimuli. Behavioural experiments revealed that larvae infected by SeMNPV exhibit altered olfactory-driven behaviour to diet when it is supplemented with the plant volatiles linalool or estragole, two of the main SexiOR35 ligands, supporting the hypothesis that viral infection triggers changes in host perception through changes in the expression level of specific ORs.

Reverse chemical ecology in a moth: machine learning on odorant receptors identifies new behaviorally active agonists.

The concept of reverse chemical ecology (exploitation of molecular knowledge for chemical ecology) has recently emerged in conservation biology and human health. Here, we extend this concept to crop protection. Targeting odorant receptors from a crop pest insect, the noctuid moth Spodoptera littoralis, we demonstrate that reverse chemical ecology has the potential to accelerate the discovery of novel crop pest insect attractants and repellents. Using machine learning, we first predicted novel natural ligands for two odorant receptors, SlitOR24 and 25. Then, electrophysiological validation proved in silico predictions to be highly sensitive, as 93% and 67% of predicted agonists triggered a response in Drosophila olfactory neurons expressing SlitOR24 and SlitOR25, respectively, despite a lack of specificity. Last, when tested in Y-maze behavioral assays, the most active novel ligands of the receptors were attractive to caterpillars. This work provides a template for rational design of new eco-friendly semiochemicals to manage crop pest populations.

Insect chemical ecology: chemically mediated interactions and novel applications in agriculture.

Insect chemical ecology (ICE) evolved as a discipline concerned with plant-insect interactions, and also with a strong focus on intraspecific pheromone-mediated communication. Progress in this field has rendered a more complete picture of how insects exploit chemical information in their surroundings in order to survive and navigate their world successfully. Simultaneously, this progress has prompted new research questions about the evolution of insect chemosensation and related ecological adaptations, molecular mechanisms that mediate commonly observed behaviors, and the consequences of chemically mediated interactions in different ecosystems. Themed meetings, workshops, and summer schools are ideal platforms for discussing scientific advancements as well as identifying gaps and challenges within the discipline. From the 11th to the 22nd of June 2018, the 11th annual PhD course in ICE was held at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) Alnarp, Sweden. The course was made up of 35 student participants from 22 nationalities (Fig. 1a) as well as 32 lecturers. Lectures and laboratory demonstrations were supported by literature seminars, and four broad research areas were covered: (1) multitrophic interactions and plant defenses, (2) chemical communication focusing on odor sensing, processing, and behavior, (3) disease vectors, and (4) applied aspects of basic ICE research in agriculture. This particular article contains a summary and brief synthesis of these main emergent themes and discussions from the ICE 2018 course. In addition, we also provide suggestions on teaching the next generation of ICE scientists, especially during unprecedented global situations.

Você não responde ao perfil: representações sociais sobre o mercado de trabalho para transexuais / You do not fit the profile: social representations about the labor market for transexuals

Este artigo propôs levantar as representações sociais de transexuais no mercado de trabalho, percebendo este também como constituinte da identidade do indivíduo. Os participantes foram dois homens e três mulheres transexuais, com idade entre 18 e 47 anos, moradores da região AMREC - Associação dos Municípios da Região Carbonífera de Santa Catarina. Na coleta de dados, utilizou-se a técnica Projeção de Futuro, que permitiu os relatos e dramatizações das cenas das representações profissionais. O conteúdo foi analisado no software IRAMUTEQ, em classes de segmentos de textos e as principais classes foram "Experiências de trabalho no futuro e no passado" e a "Percepção Social", cada uma com 25% de segmentos de texto. Com o acesso às representações sociais de transexuais, foi possível perceber a influência que o preconceito social tem na formação da carreira da população que serviu de amostra para essa pesquisa.

This article proposes to raise as social representations of transsexuals in the labor market, also perceiving it as a constituent of the individual's identity. The participants were two men and three transsexual women, aged between 18 and 47 years old, living in the AMREC region of Santa Catarina, Brazil. In data collection, use a Future Projection technique, which allows reports and dramatizations of scenes from professional representations. The content was analyzed using the IRAMUTEQ software, in the text topic classes and the main classes were "Work experiences in the future and in the past" and "Social Perception", each with 25% text segments. With the access to social representations of transsexuals, it was possible to perceive the influence that prejudice has on the formation of the career of the population that served as a sample for that research.

Synthesis of Bamboo-like Multiwall Carbon Nanotube-Poly(Acrylic Acid-co-Itaconic Acid)/NaOH Composite Hydrogel and its Potential Application for Electrochemical Detection of Cadmium(II).

A poly(acrylic acid-co-itaconic acid) (PAA-co-IA)/NaOH hydrogel containing bamboo-type multiwall carbon nanotubes (B-MWCNTs) doped with nitrogen (PAA-co-IA/NaOH/B-MWCNTs) was synthesized and characterized by SEM, absorption of water, point of zero charges, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. The possible use of the PAA-co-IA/NaOH/B-MWCNT hydrogel as an electrode modifier and pre-concentrator agent for Cd(II) sensing purposes was then evaluated using carbon paste electrodes via differential pulse voltammetry. The presence of the B-MWCNTs in the hydrogel matrix decreased its degree of swelling, stabilized the structure of the swollen gel, and favored the detection of 3 ppb Cd(II), which is comparable to the World Health Organization's allowable maximum value in drinking water. A calibration curve was obtained in the concentration range of 2.67 × 10-8 to 6.23 × 10-7 M (i.e., 3 and 70 ppb) to determine a limit of detection (LOD) of 19.24 µgL-1 and a sensitivity of 0.15 µC ppb-1. Also, the Zn(II), Hg(II), Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions interfered moderately on the determination of Cd(II).

Post-acquisition effects of viruses on vector behavior are important components of manipulation strategies.

A growing number of studies suggest that plant viruses manipulate host plant phenotypes to increase transmission-conducive behaviors by vectors. Studies on this phenomenon frequently omit examination of interactions that occur after vectors acquire virions, which provides an incomplete understanding of the ecology of plant virus manipulation. Here, by taking a full factorial approach that considered both the infection status of the host (Montia perfoliata) and viruliferous status of the aphid (Myzus persicae), we explored the effects of a circulative, non-propagative virus (Turnip yellows virus [TuYV]) on a suite of behavior and performance metrics that are relevant for virus transmission. Our results demonstrate that viruliferous aphids exhibited an increased velocity of movement and increased activity levels in locomotor and dispersal-retention assays. They also had increased fecundity and showed a capacity to more efficiently exploit resources by taking less time to reach the phloem and ingesting more sap, regardless of plant infection status. In contrast, non-viruliferous aphids only exhibited enhanced fecundity and biomass on TuYV-infected hosts, and had overall reduced dispersal and locomotor activity relative to viruliferous aphids. In this pathosystem, post-acquisition effects were stronger and more conducive to virus transmission than the purely pre-acquisition effects mediated by virus effects on the host plant. Our study provides additional support for the hypothesis that virus manipulation of vector behavior includes both pre- and post-acquisition effects and demonstrates the importance of considering both components when studying putative virus manipulation strategies.
