Local anesthetics have been shown to inhibit or delay the progression of tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) in hamster models, although the mechanisms underlying this clinical improvement remain unclear. This study aimed to determine whether lidocaine re...
Correct identification of blood-sucking bugs, such as triatomines, is important because they are vectors of Chagas' disease. Identifying these insects is often difficult for non-specialists. Deep learning is emerging as a solution for automated ident...
Brucellosis, a zoonotic disease caused by Brucella bacteria, poses significant risks to human, livestock, and wildlife health, alongside economic losses from livestock morbidity and mortality. This study improves Human Brucellosis Susceptibility Mapp...
Accurate counting of mosquito larval populations is essential for maintaining optimal conditions and population control within rearing facilities, assessing disease transmission risks, and implementing effective vector control measures. While existin...
Over the past few years, the widespread outbreak of COVID-19 has caused the death of millions of people worldwide. Early diagnosis of the virus is essential to control its spread and provide timely treatment. Artificial intelligence methods are often...
The post-effects of the COronaVIrus Disease (COVID-19) vary depending on socioeconomic and biological factors. Similarly, the effects of vaccination on people's immunity vary across several factors. After the pandemic, real-life post-vaccination anom...
Previous dengue epidemiological analyses have been limited in spatiotemporal extent or covariate dimensions, the latter neglecting the multifactorial nature of dengue. These constraints, caused by rigid and traditional statistical tools which collaps...
Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) plays a crucial role as a vector for mosquito-borne diseases like dengue and zika. Given the limited availability of effective vaccines, the prevention of Aedes-borne diseases mainly relies on extensive efforts i...
OBJECTIVES: Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious illness caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The initial symptoms of TB are similar to other respiratory illnesses, posing diagnostic challenges. Therefore, the primary goal of this study is to design a ...
Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) comprise over 3500 global species, primarily in tropical regions, where the females act as disease vectors. Thus, identifying medically significant species is vital. In this context, Wing Geometric Morphometry (WGM) em...
