A contemporary map of Fasciola hepatica distribution in sheep and cattle in New South Wales
Fasciola hepatica is a global threat to livestock production, human health, and food security. Infection causes significant reductions in milk production and quality, feed conversion efficiency, wool quality, and reproductive performance. In New South Wales (NSW), Australia, data on the distribution of F. hepatica are more than 50 years out of date and

Integrated Serologic Surveillance of Population Immunity and Disease Transmission. [PDF]
Antibodies are unique among biomarkers in their ability to identify persons with protective immunity to vaccine-preventable diseases and to measure past exposure to diverse pathogens. Most infectious disease surveillance maintains a single-disease focus,

Dendritic Cell Migration: An Essential Step in Initiating Adaptive Immunity Across Tissues
ABSTRACT Immune surveillance of tissues is primarily carried out by dendritic cells (DCs), which act as sentinels for the adaptive immune system. To accomplish this task, DCs migrate from tissues to regional lymph nodes, or from blood‐exposed regions of the spleen to the white pulp, to prime T cell responses. DC migration is a tightly regulated process
