Challenges and lessons from a vector control campaign targeting Glossina palpalis palpalis in an isolated protected forest area in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire by Konan Yao Jean Rodrigue, Ta Bi Tra Dieudonné, Berté Djakaridja, Coulibaly Bamoro, Coulibaly Kinifo Donatien, Egnankon Nick Steven, Diarrassouba Foungniguée, Djabo Kouassi Albert, Watier-Grillot Stéphanie, Demoncheaux Jean-Paul, De Marie Kouadio Koffi Alain, N’Dri Louis, Solano Philippe, Ravel Sophie, Adingra Guy Pacôme, Barreaux Antoine, Ségard Adeline, Kaba Dramane, Jamonneau Vincent, De Meeûs Thierry, Djohan Vincent

“…VC appeared to have minimal impact on the genetic structuring of G. p. palpalis. This suggested recruitment of local surviving tsetse flies all along the VC campaign due to a low probability of tsetse coming into contact with TTs, or to the evolution of behavioral or physiological resistance to control efforts. …”

LATIS: A Sample of IGM-selected Protoclusters and Protogroups at z ∼ 2.5 by Andrew B. Newman, Mahdi Qezlou, Gwen C. Rudie, Nima Chartab, Guillermo A. Blanc, Daniel D. Kelson, Simeon Bird, Caitlin Casey, Enrico Congiu, Olga Cucciati, Denise Hung, Brian C. Lemaux, Victoria Pérez, Jorge Zavala

“…We show that the Ly α transmission of the galaxy density peaks within Hyperion is consistent with a simple physical model (the fluctuating Gunn–Peterson approximation), suggesting that active galactic nucleus feedback or other processes have not affected the large-scale gas ionization within this structure as a whole. The LATIS catalog represents an order-of-magnitude increase in the number of IGM-selected protogroups and protoclusters and will enable new investigations of the connections between galaxies and their large-scale environments at cosmic noon.…”

“…The prognosis will be especially aggravated by the presence of atherosclerotic vascular lesions, which creates a preoperative background for hypoperfusion of visceral organs, which, due to the characteristics of vascularization, anatomical structure, and functioning, are very sensitive to the slightest disturbances in perfusion pressure and to the systemic inflammatory reaction, which will subsequently lead to an increase in vascular permeability, the formation of transcapillary leakage and interstitial edema, which is the beginning of organ dysfunction. …”
