Mixtures of prion substrains in natural scrapie cases revealed by ovinised murine models
(Nature Research, 2020-03-19)
Phenotypic variability in prion diseases, such as scrapie, is associated to the existence of prion strains, which are different pathogenic prion protein (PrPSc) conformations with distinct pathobiological ...
A novel optical sensor system for the automatic classification of mosquitoes by genus and sex with high levels of accuracy
(BMC, 2022-06-06)
Background: Every year, more than 700,000 people die from vector-borne diseases, mainly transmitted by mosqui‑
