Newsletter: How Land Use Shapes the Viruses Mosquitoes Carry, UP Study Finds

[THIS IS A PRESS RELEASE]

By: Eunice Jean C. Patron

Virome sequencing performed on Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus used in the study in 2018 revealed
sequences belonging to vertebrate-associated and insect-specific viruses (Asin et al,. 2025).

Mosquitoes such as Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, which are known to transmit diseases like dengue, Zika, and chikungunya, may carry more than just viruses that affect humans. They also host insect-specific viruses that do not infect people, some of which may even inhibit the multiplication of disease-causing viruses. This implies that mosquitoes can serve as valuable tools for detecting both known and emerging viruses that may impact public health.

WATCH ‘LIKE A BUBBLE’ MUSIC VIDEO HERE

K-pop sensation, FIFTY FIFTY, returns with their highly anticipated new EP, “Imperfect-I’mperfect,” now available on all digital streaming platforms via Arista Records. Marking a new chapter in the group’s musical journey, the six-track project doesn’t try to hide or fill in its flaws. Instead, it embraces the idea that our raw, unpolished selves can be the most unique, and even the most complete. The album fearlessly confronts the honest emotions that exist beyond simple positivity and bright smiles. It reminds us that we don’t always have to be perfectly happy. Beginning with the pre- release single, “STARSTRUCK,” the album immediately introduces a striking transformation in both image and sound for the group. Built around powerful electronic synths, distorted textures, vocal chops, and cyberpunk-inspired production, the track creates a retro-futuristic atmosphere that feels immersive, hypnotic, and emotionally charged. The experimental soundscape offers fans an early glimpse into the themes woven throughout the project while showcasing a bold new side of FIFTY FIFTY.
