Population genetics of mosquito vectors: a tool to control malaria, dengue and zika

In order to better understand and predict disease epidemiology, clear knowledge about the basic biology of the organisms involved is crucial. Advances in both molecular genotyping methodologies and theoretical developments have contributed to the increasing impact of such approaches on the understanding of vector-borne infectious diseases. Gene flow pattern and population structure of vector populations […]

Efflux Pumps in Mycobacteria: Antimicrobial Resistance, Physiological Functions, and Role in Pathogenicity

The emergence of multidrug and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis represents a major threat to the control of the disease. Antimicrobial drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is not merely a consequence of the occurrence of gene mutations in the drug targets but a balance between the acquisition of mutations and drug efflux. The low permeability of the […]
