Microorganisms and Common Ophthalmic Diseases [PDF]
The human eye is in constant contact to environmental conditions that increase its likelihood in being exposed to a multitude of pathogens. Studies have revealed that the normal microbial flora found around the ocular area contribute to the well-being of

Bat guano may contain zoonotic parasites that contaminate the environment and/or serve as a potential source of infection to humans and animals. Repeated bat–human exposure could be a risk factor for zoonosis. To date, knowledge on the status of bat gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) in Uganda is limited.

Shh production and Gli signaling is activated in vivo in lung, enhancing the Th2 response during a murine model of allergic asthma [PDF]
The pathophysiology of allergic asthma is driven by T-helper 2 (Th2) immune responses following aeroallergen inhalation. The mechanisms that initiate, potentiate and regulate airways allergy are incompletely characterized.

Prevalence and Transmission Cycle of Avian Pathogens in the Isolated Oceanic Islands of Japan
Avian haemosporidian parasites and avian pox virus were detected from birds of the Bonin Islands of Japan for the first time, including some that are endemic to the islands. Both pathogens are suggested to be simultaneously transmitted by mosquitoes.

Antibodies in neurological diseases: Established, emerging, explorative
Summary Within a few years, autoantibodies targeting the nervous system resulted in a novel disease classification. For several of them, which we termed ‘established’, direct pathogenicity has been proven and now guides diagnostic pathways and early immunotherapy. For a rapidly growing number of further anti‐neuronal autoantibodies, the role in disease
