Rickettsia felis is a common emerging pathogen detected in mosquitoes in sub-Saharan Africa.We hypothesized that, as with malaria, great apes may be exposed to the infectious bite of infected mosquitoes and release R.felis DNA in their feces.We conducted a study of 17 forest sites in Central Africa, testing 1,028 fecal samples from 313 chimpanzees,
BackgroundNeutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to SARS-CoV-2 are clinically efficacious when administered early, decreasing hospitalization and mortality in patients with mild or moderate COVID-19.We investigated the effects of receiving mAbs (bamlanivimab alone and bamlanivimab and etesevimab together) after SARS-CoV-2 infection on the endoge
Experimental studies of the loading of cable holders (console) type CCH, used as sup- ports for laying cables in passing wells, showed their excessively large dimensions (the thick- ness of the rib and bed), which leads to unnecessary material costs in the manufacture and, as a result, overestimation.Using the finite element analysis method in the
The question of how self-driving cars should behave in dilemma situations has recently attracted a lot of attention in science, media and society.A growing number of Tools publications amass insight into the factors underlying the choices we make in such situations, often using forced-choice paradigms closely linked to the trolley dilemma.The metho
Soine of the developmental stages of Canada thistle - Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop.(I.emergence and early growth, II.shooting, II.budding, IV.flowering, V.fructification, VI.shedding of fruits) on the background of development stages of broad-bean, weeded by herbicides and without that weed-killing substances, were presented in the paper.Phenological
