Domestic cats are susceptible to infection with at least 11 species of Babesia.In Hong Kong, where dogs are commonly infected with B.gibsoni, a single infection in a cat by a novel species, B.hongkongensis, was reported previously.The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of Babesia spp.detection in cats in Hong Kong.Residual blood-der

The emergence of mutant K13-mediated artemisinin (ART) resistance in Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites has led to widespread treatment failures across Southeast Asia.In Africa, K13-propeller genotyping confirms the emergence of the R561H mutation in Rwanda and highlights the continuing dominance of wild-type K13 elsewhere.Using gene editing,

Abstract Climate change has increased forest fire extent in temperate and boreal North America.Here, we quantified the contribution of anthropogenic climate change to human mortality and economic burden from exposure to wildfire particulate matter at the county and Boys Shorts state level across the contiguous US (2006 to 2020) by integrating clima

Field evidence indicates that cavities often occur in fractured rocks, especially in a Karst region.Once the immiscible liquid flows into the cavity, the cavity has the immiscible liquid entrapped and results in a low recovery ratio.In this paper, the immiscible liquid transport in cavity-fractures was simulated by Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM).Th
