Isolation and phylogenetic characterization of arboviruses circulating among phlebotomine sandflies in parts of North Rift, Kenya

BackgroundUntil recently, arbovirus surveillance is mainly focused on mosquito and tick vectors, resulting in the discovery of several mosquito- and tick-borne arboviruses.However, the role of sandflies in arbovirus transmission and disease has remained largely unexplored.This study sought to isolate and characterize arboviruses from phlebotomine s

Middle-Late Triassic regional-scale magmatic-hydrothermal metallogenic system in the eastern segment of the East Kunlun

A large-scale mineralization occurred in the East Kunlun during the Early Mesozoic, forming a series of lode gold, quartz vein-type Ag-Pb-Zn, porphyry Cu-Mo, and skarn Fe polymetallic deposits.However, the genetic link between these deposits is still unclear.The eastern segment of the East Kunlun has diverse types of deposits which provides an exce
