Pathogenic bacteria can detect a variety of environmental signals, including temperature changes. While sudden and significant variations act as danger signals that trigger protective heat-shock response, minor fluctuations typically signal to the pathogen it has moved from one environment another, such entering specific niche within host during infection. These latter are utilized by pathogens coordinate expression crucial virulence factors. Here, we elucidate critical role in governing factors bacterial pathogens. Moreover, outline molecular mechanisms used fluctuations, focusing on systems employ proteins nucleic acids sensory devices. We also discuss potential implications extent risk climate change poses human pathogenic diseases.

Abstract Mosquito-borne diseases are a major global health threat. Traditional morphological or molecular methods for identifying mosquito species often require specialized expertise expensive laboratory equipment. The use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to identify based on images may offer promising alternative, but their practical implementation remains limited. This study explores the applicability CNNs in classifying species. It compares efficacy body and wing depictions across three image collection methods: smartphone, macro-lens attached smartphone professional stereomicroscope. included 796 specimens four morphologically similar Aedes species, aegypti , Ae. albopictus koreicus japonicus . findings this indicate that CNN models demonstrate superior performance wing-based classification 87.6% (95% CI: 84.2–91.0) compared body-based 78.9% 77.7–80.0). Nevertheless, there notable limitations as they perform reliably multiple devices only when trained specifically those devices, resulting an average decline mean accuracy by 14%, even with extensive augmentation. Additionally, we also estimate required training data volume effective classification, noting reduced requirement methods.
