pLM4Alg: Protein language model-based predictors for allergenic proteins and peptides The rising prevalence of allergy demands efficient and accurate bioinformatic tools to expedite allergen identification and risk assessment while also reducing wet experiment expenses and time. Recently, pre-trained protein language models (pLMs) have successfully predicted protein structure and fun...
Quantitative microbial risk assessment for private wells in flood-impacted areas Microbial contamination of private well systems continues to be a prominent drinking water concern, especially for areas impacted by floodwaters. Hurricane Harvey deposited nearly 60 inches of rain, resulting in extensive flooding throughout Houston, Texas, and neighboring counties. A sampling campa...
PICTUREE—Aedes: A web application for dengue data visualization and case prediction Dengue fever remains a significant public health concern in many tropical and subtropical countries, and there is still a need for a system that can effectively combine global risk assessment with timely incidence forecasting. This research describes an integrated application called PICTUREE—Aedes, ...
Mixture toxic effects of thiacloprid and cyproconazole on honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) Pesticide exposure remains one of the main factors in the population decline of insect pollinators. It is urgently necessary to assess the effects ofmixtures on pollinator risk assessments because they are often exposed to numerous agrochemicals. In the present study, we explored the mixture toxic e...
Health risk assessment of volatile organic compounds at
daycare facilities Children are particularly vulnerable to many classes of the volatile organic compounds(VOCs) detected in indoor environments. The negative health impacts associated with chronic and acute exposures of the VOCs might lead to health issues such as genetic
damage, cancer, and disorder of nervous system...
Evaluation of Bioaerosol Samplers for Airborne Escherichia coli carried by poultry litter particles Pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) are frequently recovered in poultry litter and may be transmitted through the air once dry-based bioaerosols are generated by the dust-bathing behavior of birds. To quantify the airborne E. coli for risk assessment of dry aerosolization-based transmission, effic...
The thermal stability of Newcastle disease virus in poultry litter Sanitary disposal of contaminated organic material during recovery from an animal disease outbreak is costly and laborious. Characterizing the thermal stability of avian paramyxovirus type 1 (APMV-1; virulent APMV-1 strains cause Newcastle disease in poultry) will help inform risk assessments on the...
