Genetics and immunity of Anopheles response to the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae overlap with immunity to Plasmodium
Abstract Entomopathogenic fungi have been explored as a potential biopesticide to counteract the insecticide resistance issue in mosquitoes.However, little is known about the possibility that genetic resistance to fungal biopesticides could evolve in mosquito populations.Here, we detected an important genetic component underlying Anopheles coluzzii
Using Quantum Key Distribution With Free Space Optics to Secure Communications in High-Speed Trains
In the emerging era of quantum communications, Internet of Things (IoT) devices in high-speed train (HST) environments encounter formidable challenges.These devices are constrained by limited power and computational capabilities while needing to safeguard their data and communications against adversaries equipped with quantum-grade computational po
