Unsolved problems relating to the structure and function of non-human organs, processes and biomolecules include: Korarchaeota (archaea). The metabolic processes of this phylum of archaea are so far unclear. Glycogen body. The function of this structure in the spinal cord of birds is not known. Arthropod head problem. A long-standing zoological ...
Mosquitos are a vector for several diseases, including malaria. In epidemiology, a disease vector is any living [1] agent that carries and transmits an infectious pathogen such as a parasite or microbe, to another living organism. [2] [3] Agents regarded as vectors are mostly blood-sucking insects such as mosquitoes.
The use of natural vector predators, such as bacterial toxins or botanical compounds, can help control vector populations. Using fish that eat mosquito larvae, the use of Catfish to eat up mosquito larvae in ponds can eradicate the mosquito population, or reducing breeding rates by introducing sterilized male tsetse flies have been shown to ...
Examples are W. bancrofti, whose vector is a mosquito; night is the preferred time for blood collection. Loa loa's vector is the deer fly; daytime collection is preferred. [ 7 ] This method of diagnosis is only relevant to microfilariae that use the blood as transport from the lungs to the skin.
A 2021 U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention poster on the COVID-19 viral vector vaccines. Viral vectors are modified viruses designed to deliver genetic material into cells. This process can be performed inside an organism or in cell culture. Viral vectors have widespread applications in basic research, agriculture, and medicine.
Biological processes are those processes that are necessary for an organism to live and that shape its capacities for interacting with its environment. Biological processes are made of many chemical reactions or other events that are involved in the persistence and transformation of life forms. [1]
The problem for graphs is NP-complete if the edge lengths are assumed integers. The problem for points on the plane is NP-complete with the discretized Euclidean metric and rectilinear metric. The problem is known to be NP-hard with the (non-discretized) Euclidean metric. [3]: ND22, ND23
