The spread of arboviruses like yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika, transmitted by the invasive mosquito Aedes aegypti has led to the development of many strategies to suppress mosquito populations. Given the rapid development of resistance to common chemical larvicides and adulticides in some Ae. aegypti populations, as well as the ever-shrinking chemical options for mosquito control, there is a pressing need for new tools and deployment of those innovative tools as a component of integrative mosquito management programs. Prior to the adoption of any mosquito population intervention, be it conventional or innovative, understanding the baseline population is essential to evaluate the efficacy of the control measure. The Lee County Mosquito Control District in Florida has collected a three-year-long period of baseline entomological surveillance data collection for Ae. aegypti on Captiva and Sanibel Islands as foundational information prior to implementation of a new integrative mosquito management approach. We identified 18 mosquito species and described their population dynamics during the rainy and dry seasons. The two islands had no significant differences in species richness, diversity, dominance, or evenness overall. Yet, there were clear differences between the high rain season and low rain season in the Shannon diversity index, Simpson dominance index, and Pielou species evenness index within each site. Our data suggest that any innovative intervention should begin before mid to late April when the mosquito population is at its lowest and certainly before populations build up to their summer peak between June and September. These data also show the spatial distribution of Ae. aegypti is dynamic in space and time, identifying hotspots of mosquito abundance to focus on for future interventions. Overall, our study emphasizes the importance of entomological data collection to understand the population dynamics of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes, including the impact of environmental factors such as temperature and precipitation.

AbstractBackgroundOptimal nutrition in pediatric oncology can influence cancer‐related outcomes. To establish an understanding of nutrition practice and perceptions of best practice, we queried nutrition providers practicing in pediatric oncology care centers in high‐income countries.MethodsAn electronic, multidisciplinary, cross‐sectional survey of nutrition practices was conducted among pediatric oncology nutrition practitioners. Final analysis included 110 surveys from 71 unique institutions and included practitioners from Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia/New Zealand, South America, and the Middle East/Asia.ResultsThe majority of institutions (97%) reported having dietitians; 72% had designated oncology dietitians. Approximately half of the practitioners (47%) reported feeling their institutions were inadequately staffed. The majority (78%) of institutions completed nutrition risk screening, but there was no consensus on specific screening practices. Half (50%) of the institutions that screened for nutrition risk did so in both inpatient and outpatient settings. The majority (80%) of institutions completed a nutrition assessment close to the time of diagnosis. Those that did not cite lack of staff and/or lack of time, lack of standardized approach, and consult only level of nutritional care as primary barriers. The most common topic of nutrition education provided to patients/families was nutrition‐related symptom management (68%).ConclusionWhile most institutions reported having pediatric oncology dietitians, we found a lack of standardized practice and perceived inadequate staffing. In addition, what providers perceived to be best practice did not always align with day‐to‐day clinical practice. Ongoing efforts are needed to develop evidence‐based guidelines, including staffing recommendations, to support specialized care in this population.

AbstractZeugodacus tau is an important worldwide quarantine pest. The female adults insert their oviposition tube into the fruit epidermis to lay eggs, and the larvae feed inside the fruit. Therefore, the hazard of Z. tau primarily rely on adult egg laying and larval feeding. Zeugodacus tau is widely distributed in China and has caused serious economic losses to the industry of fruit and vegetable. Due to the need for a systematic compilation of basic biological knowledge and the increasing economic importance of fruits and vegetables, this paper systematically summarized the distribution and damage, morphological characteristics, biological characteristics and control strategies of Z. tau. Basic biological knowledge, such as geographical distribution, host species, the characteristics of its damage, spread, and transmission, characteristics of each insect stage, occurrence generations, growth and development, population dynamics, and living habits, will deepen our understanding of Z. tau. Preventive measures, such as risk analysis, prediction of suitable areas and quarantine monitoring, can guide pest prevention for crop production in safe areas. Management measures, such as agricultural control represented by fruit bagging and clean fields, physical and chemical attractants designed and developed by the characteristics of colour, phototaxis and chemotaxis, chemical control based on new green pesticides, biological control supported by predatory and parasitic natural enemies, can fully guide the integrated prevention and control of Z. tau. Depending on the size of the planting management area, both broad-area joint prevention and control as well as localized comprehensive management can be flexibly selected. While ensuring economic benefits, it also takes into account the cost input, and is committed to achieving an economically efficient and long-term green control of Z. tau.

Drosophila suzukii is a pest native to Southeast Asia that causes significant economic losses to soft fruit crops. Phytosanitary irradiation is a promising treatment for D. suzukii hosts; yet an internationally recognized irradiation protocol is lacking. To fulfil specific requirements for proposing an irradiation treatment for D. suzukii, naturally infested blueberries and cherries containing a total of 37,489 late pupae were irradiated with a maximum absorbed dose of 80 Gy. Infested hosts containing a total of 9578 late pupae were considered unirradiated controls. Prevention of egg laying by females that emerged from treated pupae was considered the treatment endpoint. The fecundity and egg viability of females that emerged from treated pupae mated with their siblings were evaluated using blueberries. While females from unirradiated pupae laid a total of 43,142 eggs, no egg was laid by females that emerged from irradiated pupae. In addition, 1-day-old adults were irradiated with nominal doses of 20 and 72 Gy to evaluate whether egg laying could be prevented in flies emerging before the irradiation treatment. Females irradiated with 72 Gy laid eggs that did not hatch. Our findings suggest the minimum absorbed dose of 80 Gy as a phytosanitary irradiation treatment against D. suzukii and may support its inclusion as a treatment option in the annex of the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures 28 (ISPM 28).

The isomeric ratios of $$^{198}$$ Au, $$^{197}$$ Hg and $$^{195}$$ Hg produced by $$\alpha $$ -particle induced reactions on natural platinum were investigated experimentally up to 29 MeV by using the standard stacked foil activation technique and $$\gamma $$ -ray spectrometry. The isomeric ratios of $$^{197}$$ Hg and $$^{195}$$ Hg determined by the conventional activation cross section formula showed strong cooling time dependence. The time dependence was resolved by adjusting the isomeric transition branching ratios for the two isotopes within a simultaneous decay curve analysis framework. Our analysis suggests 94.5±0.7% and 48.9±1.8% as the isomeric transition branching ratios of $$^{197m}$$ Hg (24 h) and $$^{195m}$$ Hg (42 h), respectively. The isomeric ratios and independent production cross sections of $$^{198}$$ Au, $$^{197}$$ Hg, $$^{195}$$ Hg and some other Hg, Au and Pt isotopes were also measured down to 6 MeV with these corrected isomeric transition branching ratios, and compared with predictions of statistical and pre-equilibrium models by TALYS-2.0 to discuss spin cutoff parameter dependence. We found the measured isomeric ratios are better predicted if we reduce the spin cutoff parameter to half or less from that estimated with the rigid body moment of inertia.

The South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedmann) has a vast range extending from northern Mexico, through Central America, to South America where it is an extremely polyphagous pest of wild and cultivated fruits. It is a complex of cryptic species currently composed of eight recognised morphotypes: “Mexican”, “Venezuelan”, “Andean”, “Peruvian”, “Ecuadorian”, and the three Brazilian morphotypes “Brazilian-1”, “Brazilian-2”, and “Brazilian-3”. Molecular markers that can identify the member species of the complex are crucial for the implementation of effective pest control measures, such as the sterile insect technique. The object of this study was to evaluate the use of the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) sequence for discriminating several members of the A. fraterculus cryptic species complex (Mexican, Peruvian, and Brazilian-1) and a related species, Anastrepha schultzi Blanchard. The analysis highlighted significant genetic differentiation between the evaluated morphotypes, allowed their discrimination within the A. fraterculus cryptic species complex, and provided new insights into their genetic relationships. The ITS2 marker provides a basis for the development of taxonomic keys for the discrimination of the cryptic taxa within the A. fraterculus cryptic species complex. ITS2 also represents an important marker for the poorly studied species A. schultzi.

Abstract Background The World Health Organization (WHO) has emphasized the urgent need for alternative strategies to chemical insecticides for controlling mosquito populations, particularly the invasive Aedes species, which are known vectors of arboviruses. Among these alternative approaches, the sterile insect technique (SIT) is experiencing rapid development, with numerous pilot trials being conducted worldwide. Main text This review aims to elucidate the principles of SIT and highlight the significant recent advancements that have facilitated its scalability. I also employ a phased conditional approach to categorize the progression of 39 projects, drawing on peer reviewed studies, press releases and direct communication with project managers. This review indicates that a substantial number of projects illustrate the efficacy of SIT in suppressing Aedes populations, with one project even demonstrating a reduction in dengue incidence. I offer several recommendations to mitigate potential failures and address the challenges of compensation and overcompensation when implementing SIT field trials. Furthermore, I examine the potential implications of male mating harassment on the effectiveness of SIT in reducing disease transmission. Conclusions This comprehensive assessment underscores the promise of SIT as a viable strategy for mosquito control. The insights gained from these trials not only contribute to the understanding of SIT’s effectiveness but also highlight the importance of careful project management and ecological considerations in the pursuit of public health objectives.

AbstractEnergy‐dispersive inelastic X‐ray scattering (EDIXS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to study hard dental tissues like dentine, enamel, and cementum in several human dental pieces of adult individuals. Analysis of linear paths crossing different interfaces were carried out. These different techniques provide specific information that allows a combined interpretation of the results as well as a comparison of performances of both methodologies. The EDIXS analysis was focused on the calcium absorption edge because this major element has a fundamental role in the formation of the calcium phosphate structure. Regarding FTIR, the investigation focused on the study of ν1, ν3, and ν4 vibrational modes of hydroxyapatite. The ν1, ν3, and ν4 vibrational modes of hydroxyapatite are related to the vibrations of the phosphate (PO43‐) ion. Specifically, ν1 corresponds to the symmetric stretching vibration, ν3 is the asymmetric stretching vibration, and ν4 is the bending vibration of the phosphate ion. The results allowed us to infer a correlation between the variations observed in EDIXS and the ν3 vibrational mode measured with FTIR. This correlation between inelastic X‐ray scattering and FTIR spectroscopy offers a more comprehensive characterization of hydroxyapatite parameters. Furthermore, it establishes a complementary technique for the structural characterization of dental tissues.

AbstractBackgroundIn 2021, a Technical Meeting was hosted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) where it was recommended that a standardized method for assessing the accuracy of film dose calculations should be established.PurposeTo design an audit that evaluates the accuracy of film dosimetry processes. To propose a framework for identifying out‐of‐tolerance results and to perform an international pilot study to test the audit design.MethodsSix members of an international Dosimetry Audit Network (DAN) developed an audit for radiochromic film dosimetry. A single host center provided the materials to each participating DAN member to conduct the audits. Materials included: (1) a set of two irradiated audit films (10 Sq: 10 cm × 10 cm, 15 Sq: 15 cm × 15 cm), (2) a reference calibration film set, and (3) a blank sheet of film. The participants were blinded to the dose and tasked with producing dose maps using their standard film dosimetry process. Average Region‐Of‐Interest (ROI: 2 cm × 2 cm) dose was measured from the dose maps and compared to the known dose. In the audit, all participants used their local scanning and software protocols. Film calibration was performed in two distinct ways: (1) using a calibration film set which was provided by the host center and (2) using a calibration film set which was locally irradiated. Several variations of the audit were also performed to examine how scanning and software processing can affect film dosimetry results. In the first variation of the audit (VariantA), a set of film scans was processed using five different software solutions. In the second variation of the audit (VariantB), all films were scanned on the same scanner and processed using two in‐house software solutions.ResultsTaking one film scan from each participant, the standard deviations (1σ) (SD) in the dose returned from the host calibration and returned from the local calibration were ±7.2% and ±6.5% respectively, with variations from −12.4% to 12.9% of the known dose. The larger dose variations in the data set were attributed to the corrections applied for variations in scanner brightness during processing and incorrectly assigned calibration doses. When the raw image data set was processed by an expert user of each software solution (VariantA) the SDs were ±2.7% and ±3.7% for in‐house and vendor‐based software, respectively. When the films were scanned on a single scanner and processed with the two in‐house software solutions (VariantB) the results had a SD of ±2.3%.ConclusionsAn audit has been designed and tested for radiotherapy film dosimetry at an international level. A framework for diagnosing issues within a film dosimetry process has been proposed that could be used to audit centers that use film as a dosimeter. Incorporating quality assurance throughout the film process is important in obtaining accurate and consistent film dosimetry. A better understanding of vendor‐based software systems is necessary for users to process accurate and consistent film dosimetry.

Accurate segmentation of ovarian cancer (OC) lesions in PET/CT images is essential for effective disease management, yet manual segmentation for radiomics analysis is labor-intensive and time-consuming. This study introduces the application of a 3D U-Net deep learning model, leveraging advanced 3D networks, for multi-class semantic segmentation of OC in PET/CT images and assesses the stability of the extracted radiomics features. Utilizing a dataset of 3120 PET/CT images from 39 OC patients, the dataset was divided into training (70%), validation (15%), and test (15%) subsets to optimize and evaluate the model’s performance. The 3D U-Net model, especially with a VGG16 backbone, achieved notable segmentation accuracy with a Dice score of 0.74, Precision of 0.76, and Recall of 0.78. Additionally, the study demonstrated high stability in radiomics features, with over 85% of PET and 84% of CT image features showing high intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs > 0.8). These results underscore the potential of automated 3D U-Net-based segmentation to significantly enhance OC diagnosis and treatment planning. The reliability of the extracted radiomics features from automated segmentation supports its application in clinical decision-making and personalized medicine. This research marks a significant advancement in oncology diagnostics, providing a robust and efficient method for segmenting OC lesions in PET/CT images. By addressing the challenges of manual segmentation and demonstrating the effectiveness of 3D networks, this study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the application of artificial intelligence in improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in oncology.

Abstract Background Accurate assessment of body composition during infancy is an important marker of early growth. This study aimed to develop anthropometric models to predict body composition in 3–24-month-old infants from diverse socioeconomic settings and ethnic groups. Methods An observational, longitudinal, prospective, multi-country study of infants from 3 to 24 months with body composition assessed at three monthly intervals using deuterium dilution (DD) and anthropometry. Linear mixed modelling was utilized to generate sex-specific fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) prediction equations, using length(m), weight-for-length (kg/m), triceps and subscapular skinfolds and South Asian ethnicity as variables. The study sample consisted of 1896 (942 measurements from 310 girls) training data sets, 941 (441 measurements from 154 girls) validation data sets of 3–24 months from Brazil, Pakistan, South Africa and Sri Lanka. The external validation group (test) comprised 349 measurements from 250 (185 from 124 girls) infants 3–6 months of age from South Africa, Australia and India. Results Sex-specific equations for three age categories (3–9 months; 10–18 months; 19–24 months) were developed, validated on same population and externally validated. Root mean squared error (RMSE) was similar between training, validation and test data for assessment of FM and FFM in boys and in girls. RMSPE and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) were higher in validation compared to test data for predicting FM, however, in the assessment of FFM, both measures were lower in validation data. RMSE for test data from South Africa (M/F−0.46/0.45 kg) showed good agreement with validation data for assessment of FFM compared to Australia (M/F−0.51/0.33 kg) and India(M/F−0.77/0.80 kg). Conclusions Anthropometry-based FFM prediction equations provide acceptable results. Assessments based on equations developed on similar populations are more applicable than those developed from a different population.

The key to success in the application of the sterile insect technique (SIT) relies on the ability of released, sterile males to outcompete their fertile wild male counterparts to mate with wild females. However, many insect species exhibit multiple-mating behavior, which can be a way for females to select paternity for their progeny. This study aims to recognize the consequences of potential double-matings during an SIT program and to detect any evidence of sperm selection favoring sperm from fertile mates. This report provides a descriptive analysis of the storage and use of sperm by female Aedes albopictus. Stable isotopes were used to mark the sperm of fertile and sterile males. Mated females were allowed to oviposit before dissecting the spermathecae to link the presence of each type of sperm to the sterility of the eggs laid. It was found that sperm in females inseminated by both males was distributed in the three spermathecae with no obvious pattern, mostly mixed but also separately, and no evidence of any mechanism for sperm selection, sperm precedence, or sperm competition in Ae. albopictus females could be found. The fact that only a few double-mated females were double-inseminated and could also produce semi-sterile eggs, together with the finding that the sperm of sterile males appeared to be no less viable than that of fertile males, is an encouraging outcome for SIT approaches.

Planta 2024 citations by CoLab: 2  |  Abstract
A comprehensive understanding of the nucleocytoplasmic interactions that occur between genes related to the restoration of fertility and cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) provides insight into the development of hybrids of important crop species. Modern biotechnological techniques allow this to be achieved in an efficient and quick manner. Heterosis is paramount for increasing the yield and quality of a crop. The development of hybrids for achieving heterosis has been well-studied and proven to be robust and efficient. Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) has been explored extensively in the production of hybrids. The underlying mechanisms of CMS include the role of cytotoxic proteins, PCD of tapetal cells, and improper RNA editing of restoration factors. On the other hand, the restoration of fertility is caused by the presence of restorer-of-fertility (Rf) genes or restorer genes, which inhibit the effects of sterility-causing genes. The interaction between mitochondria and the nuclear genome is crucial for several regulatory pathways, as observed in the CMS–Rf system and occurs at the genomic, transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, and post-translational levels. These CMS–Rf mechanisms have been validated in several crop systems. This review aims to summarize the nucleo-mitochondrial interaction mechanism of the CMS–Rf system. It also sheds light on biotechnological interventions, such as genetic engineering and genome editing, to achieve CMS-based hybrids.

AbstractIsotope‐enabled models provide a means to generate robust hydrological simulations. However, daily isotope‐enabled rainfall‐runoff models applied to larger spatial scales (>100 km2) require more input data than conventional non‐isotope models in the form of precipitation isotope time series, which are difficult to generate even with point station measurements. Spatially distributed isotope data can be circumvented by isotope‐enabled climate models. Here, we evaluate the hydrological simulations of the J2000‐isotope enabled hydrological model driven with data from corrected and un‐corrected isotope‐enabled global and regional climate models (isotope‐enabled global spectral model [IsoGSM] and isotope‐enabled regional spectral model [IsoRSM], respectively) compared with 1 year of measured reference station and a yearly average precipitation isotope input for a pilot site, the data‐scarce sub‐humid Eerste River catchment in South Africa. The models driven by all input products performed well for upstream and downstream discharge gauges with Nash Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) from 0.58 to 0.85 and LogNSE of 0.66 to 0.93. The simulated δ2H stream isotopes using the reference J2000‐iso and J2000‐isoRSM were good for the main river with a stream Kling Gupta efficiency (KGE) of between 0.4–0.9 and the top 100 Monte Carlo simulations varying by around 5‰ for δ2H. For smaller tributaries the model was unable to capture the measured stream isotopes due to biased precipitation isotope inputs. Adjusting the J2000‐iso with a bias corrected IsoRSM improved the stream and groundwater isotope simulation and outperformed the model driven by an average yearly precipitation isotope input. Differences in simulated hydrological processes were only evident between the models when evaluating percolation with unrealistic simulations for the standard J2000 model. While the regional climate model is computationally more intensive than its global counterpart, it provided better stream isotope simulations and improvements to simulated percolation. Our results indicate that isotope‐enabled climate models can provide useful input data in data scarce regions for hydrological models, where improved water management to address climate change impacts is needed.
