The Department of Medical Entomology is the only institution for this aspect of entomology in Australia and as such serves as the de facto National Reference Laboratory for insects and other arthropods of medical and public health importance. The Department based at Westmead Hospital and linked with Sydney University. On its web site the department supplies fact sheets about vector-borne diseases, medically important arthropods, maggot debridement therapy, arbovirus surveillance and mosquito monitoring programs, information about their research projects, a key for the common mosquitoes of southeastern Australia and answers to frequently asked questions about human pathogenic arthropods. ...

Bed Bugs (Cimex lectularius and C. hemipterus) during the early part of the 21st Century have undergone a massive resurgence in Australia and there has been a notable lack of quality information available on this re-emerging public health pest. Thus this web site is dedicated to pest management of Bed Bugs. A lot of resources are free for download. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the 2014 International Congress on Invertebrate Pathology and Microbial Control & 47th Annual Meeting of the Society for Invertebrate Pathology. The meeting will be held from August 3rd to 7th, 2014 at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany. We are planning an exciting scientific program to explore the latest findings in invertebrate pathology, including microbial control of insect pests, diseases in beneficial invertebrates, medical and biotechnological significance of entomopathogens, and fundamental scientific research in host-pathogen interactions. ...

Constant changes in climate, consumer demand, economy, regulations, technology, as well as invasions of new pest species, continuously challenge researchers, extension officers, growers and the agro-businesses. These and other topics will be discussed at the meeting. The venue of the meeting, the program structure and the collegial atmosphere are designed to encourage informal interactions, explore common interests and possible collaborations, and facilitate learning and information sharing. Visits to Israeli protected crop operations will provide unique opportunities to explore new technologies and approaches, share knowhow, and interact with growers and extension officers. ...

WormBase is an international consortium of biologists and computer scientists dedicated to providing the research community with accurate, current, accessible information concerning the genetics, genomics and biology of C. elegans and some related nematodes. [Information of the supplier]
The cyclic AMP response element (CRE)-binding protein (CREB) family of activators (CREB1, CREM, ATF1) functions in diverse physiological processes, including the control of cellular metabolism, growth-factor-dependent cell survival, and developement an plasticity of neurons. A diverse range of signals, including cAMP, calcium, stress and mitogenic stimuli, can activate CREB and promote target gene expression. This database is dedicated to catogerize CREB target genes in a comprehensive and easy-to-search way. We have used a multi-layered approach to predict, validate and chracterize CREB target genes. For each gene, we try to provide the following information: 1. CREB binding sites on the promoters, 2. Promoter occupancy by CREB, 3. Gene activation by cAMP in tissues. The data are for humans, rats, and mice. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The Genetic Association Database is an archive of human genetic association studies of complex diseases and disorders. The goal of this database is to allow the user to rapidly identify medically relevant polymorphism from the large volume of polymorphism and mutational data, in the context of standardized nomenclature. ...

T1DBase is a public website and database that supports the type 1 diabetes (T1D) research community. It is being created by a joint effort between the Institute for Systems Biology, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation/Wellcome Trust Diabetes and Inflammation Laboratory and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International. T1DBase collects information from public sources and from collaborating laboatories, integrates this information, and presents it in a form that is useful for T1D researchers. The current data scope includes annotated genomic sequences for suspected T1D susceptibility regions; microarray data; functional annotation of genes active in beta cells; and "global"datasets, generally from the literature, that are useful for systems biology studies. ...

The Interactive Fly - a cyberspace guide to Drosophila development and metazoan evolution - was first released July/August 1996, with updates provided at approximately one month intervals, through September 1997 (edition 13). Updating quarterly started with edition 14. With edition 40, the Interactive Fly began to schedule updates three times a year: fall, winter and spring. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
FlyView is an image database on Drosophila development and genetics, especially on expression patterns of genes (enhancer trap lines, cloned genes). Our aim is to establish the possibility to compare images on the computer screen and to search for special patterns at different developmental stages. FlyView presents three possibilities for searching: Search for pattern elements (with keywords in text descriptions, getting back images with links to the appropriate stocks), search for stocks (with stock number, allele, genotype, chromosome, insertion site, viability, developmental stage or expression pattern, getting back a list of found stocks that guide to full descriptions (including links to images, e-mail address for ordering and, in the case of BDGP lines, also direct links to FlyBase and/or EofD)) and Overview (an actual list of all lines included in FlyView, linked to stock descriptions and images). The success of this database exclusively depends on the activity of the Drosophila community. All Drosophila workers are asked to contribute to this database by submitting images and accompanying text. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
