Check out our latest paper "Detecting Dengue in flight: Leveraging Machine Learning to Analyse Mosquito Flight Patterns for Infection Detection"!
In this study we used machine learning algorithms to detect dengue-infected mosquitoes based on their 3D flight patterns!

Characterisation of the virome of Culicoides brevitarsis Kieffer (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), a vector of bluetongue virus in Australia
Culicoides spp., a common biting midge genus, are haematophagous insects that can transmit pathogens to humans and other animals. Some species transmit arboviruses, including bluetongue virus, epizoot...

Frustrating to see such blatant plagiarism by an article in a Wiley journal. See if you can spot the difference. No action has been taken by the journal.

NIH cuts indirect rates on grants to 15%.
This will be the end of American excellence in science.
Universities will struggle and many (likely most) will terminate their research programs.
Independent research institutions will not be able to survive this.
