Advancements and Opportunities in Characterizing Patient-Specific Wall Shear Stress Imposed by Coronary Artery Stenting Open

John F. LaDisa, Arash Ghorbannia, David S. Marks, Peter G. Mason, Hiromasa Otake · 2022

The success of drug-eluting stents (DES) is limited by restenosis and, to a lesser extent, late stent thrombosis. Mechanical stimuli have been implicated in these outcomes, with indices of wall shear stress (WSS) determined from computatio…

The parasitoid complex of diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), in Canada: impact and status Open

Peter G. Mason, Tina Dancau, Paul K. Abram, Christine Noronha, Peggy L. Dixon , et al. · 2022

Diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), a globally important pest of Brassicaceae crops, migrates into all provinces of Canada annually. Life tables were used to determine the mortality levels contribut…

Analyses of mutations selected by passaging a chimeric flavivirus identify mutations that alter infectivity and reveal an interaction between the structural proteins and the nonstructural glycoprotein NS1 Open

E. Winkelmann, Douglas G. Widman, Ryosuke Suzuki, Peter G. Mason · 2021

We previously described a single-cycle dengue vaccine (RepliVAX D2) engineered from a capsid (C) gene-deleted West Nile virus (WNV) expressing dengue virus serotype 2 (DENV2) prM/E genes in place of the corresponding WNV genes. That work d…

The impact of parasitoids on diamondback moth in Europe: a life table approach Open

Tim Haye, Tina Dancau, Andrew M. R. Bennett, Peter G. Mason · 2021

Diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), was first recorded in North America from Europe about 150 years ago and can be a significant pest of canola in Western Canada. Because parasitism of P. xylostella…

Correction to: Addition of nectar sources affects a parasitoid community without improving pest suppression Open

Jacob H. Miall, Paul K. Abram, Naomi Cappuccino, Andrew M. R. Bennett, José Fernández-Triana , et al. · 2020

Paul K. Abram, Roselyne Labbé, Peter G. Mason · 2020

The need to prevent negative impacts of importation biological control on native biodiversity has made evaluating the specificity (host range) of natural enemies a central issue for the application of biological control programs against pe…

Implementation of access and benefit-sharing measures has consequences for classical biological control of weeds Open

Luciana Silvestri, Alejandro Sosa, Fernando Mc Kay, Marcelo Diniz Vitorino, Martin Hill , et al. · 2019

The Convention on Biological Diversity and the Nagoya Protocol establish that genetic resources shall be accessed only upon the existence of prior informed consent of the country that provides those resources and that benefits arising from…

Effects of floral resources on the efficacy of a primary parasitoid and a facultative hyperparasitoid Open

Jacob H. Miall, Paul K. Abram, Naomi Cappuccino, Peter G. Mason · 2019

Resources added to agroecosystems to enhance biological control are potentially available to multiple members of the resident insect community—not only the biological control agents for which the resources are intended. Many studies have e…
