For countries aiming for malaria elimination, travel of infected individuals between endemic areas undermines local interventions. Quantifying parasite importation has therefore become a priority for national control programs. We analyzed epidemiological surveillance data, travel surveys, parasite g...

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) compose a family of multifunctional enzymes involved in the numerous aspects of regulating plant growth, development, and stress response. An in silico genome-wide analysis of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) was performed to identify eighty-five GST genes that were anno...

In Bangladesh, groundwater serves as the sole major potable water source. Salinization along with the elevated presence of metals become the major threat for this resource in coastal districts of Bangladesh. Therefore, a multi-hazard approach is planned to appraise the groundwater quality. Probabili...
