  A point-of-care test for detecting schistosome circulating cathodic antigen in urine (POC[sbnd]CCA) has been proposed for mapping infection and defining prevalence thresholds for mass drug administration (MDA). However, ...

• Insect-specific viruses: an overview and their relationship to arboviruses of concern to humans and animals 

  Carvalho, Valéria Lima; Long, Maureen T (Elsevier, 2021)

  The group of Insect-specific viruses (ISVs) includes viruses apparently restricted to insects based on their inability to replicate in the vertebrates. Increasing numbers of ISVs have been discovered and characterized ...
