Impulsive Release Strategies for Wolbachia-Infected Mosquitoes Under Temperature-Induced Infection Loss

Abstract The release of Wolbachia -infected mosquitoes is a promising strategy for controlling Aedes aegypti populations, although high-temperature exposure may temporarily reduce infection levels and compromise long-term persistence. We propose a population-dynamics model based...

Can Temperature and UV Exposure Alter the Antimicrobial Properties of the Essential Oils? An Investigation of Origanum vulgare , Cymbopogon citratus , Syzygium aromaticum , and Lippia sidoides

Abstract Essential oils (EOs) are natural compounds widely applied in agriculture, post-harvest preservation, food processing, and human health due to their strong antimicrobial potential. However, the effects of postextraction physical treatments on their chemical and biological...

The organization and dynamics of viral factories

ABSTRACT Viral factories (VFs) are dynamic, virus-induced microcompartments that serve as centralized hubs in the host cell for viral genome replication, transcription, and virion assembly. These structures employ unique viral mechanisms for remodeling cellular architecture to cr...
