CVD AND OBESITY IN TRANSITIONAL SYRIA: A PERSPECTIVE FROM THE MIDDLE EAST


Assessing the diversity of whiteflies infesting cassava in Brazil

Background The necessity of a competent vector for transmission is a primary ecological factor driving the host range expansion of plant arthropod-borne viruses, with vectors playing an essential role in disease emergence.Cassava begomoviruses severely constrain cassava production in Africa.Curiously, begomoviruses have never been reported in cassa

Candidates for Repurposing as Anti-Virulence Agents Based on the Structural Profile Analysis of Microbial Collagenase Inhibitors

The pharmacological inhibition of the bacterial collagenases (BC) enzymes is considered a promising strategy to block the virulence of the bacteria without targeting the selection mechanism leading to drug resistance.The chemical structures of the Clostridium perfringens collagenase A (ColA) inhibitors were analyzed using Bemis-Murcko skeletons, Mu
