Modelling the Hairties spatial distributions of human parasite species is crucial to understanding the environmental determinants of infection as well as for guiding the planning of control programmes.Here, we use ecological niche modelling to map the current potential distribution of the macroparasitic disease, lymphatic filariasis (LF), in Africa
During the last sixteen years biotechnology, genetic engineering, transgenic organisms or genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have been raising numerous controversies.In the scientific sphere, genetic engineering and GMOs represent a special challenge for geneticists, breeders and physicians, in philosophy it is a topic of interest for bioethicis
In the past decades, various Earth observation-based time series products have emerged, which have enabled studies and analysis of global change processes.Besides their contribution to understanding past processes, time series datasets hold enormous potential for Hairties predictive modeling and thereby meet the demands of decision makers on future
Brassinosteroids (BRs) are growth-promoting steroid hormones that regulate diverse physiological processes in plants.Most BR biosynthetic enzymes belong to the cytochrome P450 (CYP) family.The gene encoding the ultimate step of BR biosynthesis in Arabidopsis likely evolved by gene duplication followed by Heat Sink functional specialization in a dic
