Sobre IBD

This book compiles and summarises in a single volume recent original findings that 1) Anopheles culicifacies, normally considered to be a fresh water mosquito vector of malaria in South Asia is able to adapt to lay eggs and undergo pre-imaginal development in brackish water and 2) Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus the two major vectors of dengue and chikungunya worldwide as well as other arboviral diseases, are able to adapt to undergo larval development in brackish water collections near human habitations in tropical Asia. The significance of these findings for the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases like malaria, dengue and chikungunya at the present time and in the context of likely future environmental changes in coastal areas, including a rise in sea levels due to global warming, is also examined. Specific measures that can be taken in tropical coastal areas to control mosquito-borne diseases now and in the future are outlined. The contents of this ground-breaking book will be of great value to biologists, climate change scientists, environmentalists, epidemiologists and health sector personnel and scientists working on vector-borne diseases.

  • Viral Replication Complexes
    Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that need to co-opt a living cell’s machinery for replication. At the heart of the viral replication machinery are the nucleic acid polymerases, which are responsible for efficiently copying the viral genome. This process must often be coordinated with other viral processes, including protein translation and viral packaging. The poly...
  • Advances in Flavivirus Research
    The flaviviruses are composed almost entirely of arthropod-borne viruses, a subset of which are responsible for millions of cases of human disease each year. Among these viruses are dengue virus—a scourge throughout the tropical regions of Asia and the Americas; yellow fever virus—the “original” hemorrhagic fever virus; and the recently emerged Zika virus. While the flaviviruse...

  • Brain Asymmetry of Structure and/or Function
    Lesley J. Rogers / Lesley JRogers
    This edited book brings together research reports on the asymmetry of brain function in various species, including humans, dogs, birds, lizards and bees. As shown in a wide range of species, and, as we now know, not solely in humans, the left and right sides of the brain process information in different ways and control different responses or patterns of behaviour. Since this d...

  • The Epithelialto- Mesenchymal Transition ( EMT ) in Cancer
    Joëlle Roche
    The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a highly dynamic process with multiple transitional states, by which epithelial cells can convert into a mesenchymal phenotype. This process involves loss of cellular adhesion and cellular polarity, and an improvement in migratory and invasive properties. It occurs during normal embryonic development, tissue regeneration, organ ...

  • The Biology and Treatment of Myeloid Leukaemias
    There has been an observed decrease in the global mortality from cancer, mostly atributable to improved, particularly early, detection and prevention. For many carcinomas and leukaemias in adults, once the disease has reached a certain stage there are no therapies that are able to erradicate the cancer cells and cure patients. There has been progress in the treatment of acute m...
