Aedes ægypti control in urban areas
Marilia Sá Carvalho, Nildimar Alves Honorio, Leandro Martin Totaro Garcia, Luiz Carlos de Sá Carvalho
Nov 05, 2018
The available strategy for controlling the diseases transmitted by Aedes ægypti (dengue fever, Zika, and chikungunya) relies on continued community participation. Despite slogans emphasizing how easy it should be, no country has...
Immunocapture of <i>Escherichia coli</i> in a fluoropolymer microcapillary array
This study presents novel experimental insights into the direct quantitation and immunocapture of bacteria cells in a fluoropolymer microcapillary array, using Escherichia coli as work model, a pathogen responsible for around...

Jul 30, 2018
BACKGROUND: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) measures of tau and amyloid proteins have now been largely accepted to be a diagnostic tool to aid the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but CSF is not routinely obtained in...
Microfluidic smartphone quantitation of <i>Escherichia coli</i> in synthetic urine
In spite of the clinical need, there is a major gap in rapid diagnostics for identification and quantitation of E. coli and other pathogens, also regarded as the biggest bottleneck in the fight against the spread of...
Cuttlefish retrieve whether they smelt or saw a previously encountered item.
According to the Source Monitoring Framework, the origin of a memory is remembered through the retrieval of specific features (e.g. perceptive, sensitive, affective signals). In two source discrimination tasks, we studied the...
