Detection of low frequency artemisinin resistance mutations, C469Y, P553L and A675V, and fixed antifolate resistance mutations in asymptomatic primary school children in Kenya by Osoti, V, Wamae, K, Ndwiga, L, Gichuki, PM, Okoyo, C, Kepha, S, Keitany, K, Kandie, R, Aricha, S, Kiplagat, R, Mwandawiro, C, Bejon, P, Snow, RW, Ochola-Oyier, LI

“…The Pfdhfr 51I and 108 N pyrimethamine-resistance mutations were at fixation (100% frequency), and the Pfmdr1 Y184F mutation, which is linked to reduced susceptibility to several antimalarial drugs, especially those used in combination therapies for malaria treatment, was detected in 97.5% of the samples as mixed-genotype infections. …”

Identifying factors mediating the carnivore richness-productivity relationship across a precipitation-driven ecotone by Sultaire, S, Millspaugh, J, Montgomery, R

The sustainable use of species-rich grasslands for forage and biogas production by French, K

“…Finally, by combining palaeoecological and modern vegetation data I demonstrate that grassland biodiversity was temporally and spatially linked to long-term human management and would revert to oscillating between open grassland and woodland if this management ceases. …”

Survey of healthcare-associated sink infrastructure, and sink trap antibiotic residues and biochemistry, in 29 UK hospitals by Rodger, G, Chau, K, Aranega Bou, P, Moore, G, Roohi, A, The SinkBug Consortium, Walker, AS, Stoesser, N

“…</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Our CLD highlights a central feedback loop encompassing three vital variables: (1) the ability to define, (re)shape, and pass appropriate policy into law; (2) the ability to implement the policy (linked to the enforceability of the policy and to addressing NCD local burden); and (3) ability to monitor progress, evaluate and correct the course. …”

Characterising the functional role of GATA1short isoform in normal and malignant haematopoiesis by Cruz Hernandez, D
