Canine Leishmaniosis in Italy: Geospatial Trends and Incidence, a Shift in Epidemiological Approach
ABSTRACT Introduction Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) has shown a marked geographic expansion in Italy, progressively affecting central and northern regions previously considered non‐endemic. Laboratory‐based prevalence estimates remain informative in well‐designed surveys; however, prevalence derived from diagnostic submissions may be influenced by study ...

Antibodies to the Mr 64,000 (64K) protein in islet cell antibody positive non-diabetic individuals indicate high risk for impaired Beta-cell function [PDF]
A prospective study of a normal childhood population identified 44 islet cell antibody positive individuals. These subjects were typed for HLA DR and DQ alleles and investigated for the presence of antibodies to the Mr 64,000 (64K) islet cell antigen ...
