Some water fleas Daphnia change their head morphology to reduce predation risk in response to chemical substances (kairomones) released from larvae of the invertebrate predator Chaoborus (Insecta: Diptera).We tested for evidence of the costs associated with elongation of the head spine in Daphnia galeata and the consequences of these costs on the i
The rise of neglected tropical diseases in the "new Texas".
Within the last five years, the State of Texas has experienced either transmission or outbreaks of Ebola, chikungunya, West Nile, and Zika virus infections.Autochthonous transmission of neglected parasitic and bacterial diseases has also become increasingly reported.The rise of such emerging and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) has not occurred b

The function of integron-associated genes cassettes in Vibrio species: the tip of the iceberg
The integron is a genetic element that incorporates mobile genes termed gene cassettes into a reserved genetic site via site-specific recombination.It is best known for its role in antibiotic resistance with one type of integron, the class 1 integron, a major player in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes across Gram negative pathogens
