The moulting arthropod: a complete genetic toolkit review
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2338-2375, December 2024.ABSTRACT Exoskeletons are a defining character of all arthropods that provide physical support for their segmented bodies and appendages as well as protection from the environment and predation. This ubiquitous yet evolutionarily variable feature has been instrumental in facilitating the adoption of a variety of lifestyles and the exploitation of ...

Coincident Tick Infestations in the Nostrils of Wild Chimpanzees and a Human in Uganda [PDF]
, 2013 Ticks in the nostrils of humans visiting equatorial African forests have been reported sporadically for decades, but their taxonomy and natural history have remained obscure. We report human infestation with a nostril tick in Kibale National Park, Uganda,

Chinese expert consensus on allergen component resolved diagnosis
Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, Volume 35, Issue 11, November 2024.Abstract Background Allergen component resolved diagnosis (CRD) is a method for identifying specific protein molecules that cause hypersensitivity. Unlike traditional methods that use crude allergen extracts containing multiple component species, CRD focuses on individual allergen protein molecules for more precise diagnosis.

Cofactor Fingerprinting with STD NMR to Characterize Proteins of Unknown Function: Identification of a Rare cCMP Cofactor Preference [PDF]
, 2004 Proteomics efforts have created a need for better strategies to functionally categorize newly discovered proteins. To this end, we have employed saturation transfer difference NMR with pools of closely related cofactors, to determine cofactor preferences.

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 36, Issue 10, Page 527-535, October 2024.Summary Background Ticks can harm horses and transmit diseases, making them a growing concern for owners and veterinarians. Veterinarians play a crucial role in providing advice on tick prevention and control. Yet, no research has examined their perspectives on equine ticks and tick‐borne disease (TBD).

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 366-371, September 2024.The presence of α‐Gal epitope ( was confirmed by the presence of reactive proteins of >250 kDa in samples from engorged and unfed H. lusitanicum ticks. The highest concentrations of α‐Gal were detected in salivary glands. Neither sex nor diet influenced the concentration of α‐Gal, which seems to indicate its endogenous production and its possible ...

Response to the Letter to the Editor by Rob Armstrong
Parasites & Vectors, 2017 In a recent Letter to the Editor, Armstrong raises concern that the design of the study reported by Six et al. was not consistent with the product label for treatment of Amblyomma americanum, since fluralaner was not re-administered 56 days after the ...
