EFFECT OF A SOUR CHERRY ORCHARD ON THE POPULATION DYNAMICS OF SPOTTED WING DROSOPHILA IN AN ADJACENT ELDERBERRY PLANTATION

Effect of a sour cherry orchard on the population dynamics of Spotted Wing Drosophila in an adjacent elderberry plantation

The Spotted Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, 1931 - SWD) became a crucial pest of soft-skinned fruits in less than a decade in different Dresses continents, including Europe.The larvae of the polyphagous pest can develop within the fruits of several food plants, including wild and cultivated elderberry.Due to their high mobility, the

Avian Influenza Virus PB1 Gene in H3N2 Viruses Evolved in Humans To Reduce Interferon Inhibition by Skewing Codon Usage toward Interferon-Altered tRNA Pools

ABSTRACT Influenza A viruses cause an annual contagious respiratory disease in humans and are responsible for periodic high-mortality human pandemics.Pandemic influenza A viruses usually result from the reassortment of gene segments between human and avian influenza viruses.These avian influenza virus gene segments need to adapt to humans.Here we f

Compression of structured high-throughput sequencing data.

Large biological datasets are being produced at a rapid pace and create substantial storage challenges, particularly in the domain of high-throughput sequencing (HTS).Most approaches currently used to store HTS data are either unable to quickly adapt to the requirements of new sequencing or analysis methods (because they do not support schema evolu
