A Zebrafish Model of Mycobacterium leprae Granulomatous Infection. [PDF]
, 2017 Understanding the pathogenesis of leprosy granulomas has been hindered by a paucity of tractable experimental animal models. Mycobacterium leprae, which causes leprosy, grows optimally at approximately 30°C, so we sought to model granulomatous disease in

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We studied the effects of urban growth on wildlife near Parque Nacional Marino las Baulas, Costa Rica. Since 1991, buildings increased 1007%, mainly in the buffer zone. We identified eight native species extracting garbage from containers, with raccoons (Procyon lotor) comprising most detections (84%), and four other species being potential sea turtle ...

Importance of xenarthrans in the eco-epidemiology of
BMC Research Notes, 2009 Background Several pathogens that cause important zoonotic diseases have been frequently associated with armadillos and other xenarthrans. This mammal group typically has evolved on the South American continent and many of its extant species are ...

Invasores acorazados en Patagonia: dispersión austral reciente de armadillos (Cingulata, Da- sypodidae) [PDF]
, 2014 Patagonia, south of 40° S, is currently inhabited by Chaetophractus villosus and Zaedyus pichiy. In order to reconstruct the Late Pleistocene-Holocene history of these armadillos in southern South America, we compiled and discussed data from ...

Trypanosoma cruzi IIc: phylogenetic and phylogeographic insights from sequence and microsatellite analysis and potential impact on emergent Chagas disease. [PDF]
, 2009 Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease, is highly genetically diverse. Numerous lines of evidence point to the existence of six stable genetic lineages or DTUs: TcI, TcIIa, TcIIb, TcIIc, TcIId, and TcIIe.

LRRK2 as a Potential Disease‐Modifying Target in Sporadic Parkinson's Disease
Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract A growing understanding of the role that leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) plays in Parkinson's disease (PD) supports continued focus on this enzyme as a therapeutic target for PD. Accumulating evidence suggests that there are phenotypic, neuropathologic, and biological similarities between sporadic PD (sPD) and familial forms in which ...

Tertiary Climate Change and the Diversification of the Amazonian Gecko Genus Gonatodes (Sphaerodactylidae, Squamata) [PDF]
, 2008 The genus Gonatodes is a monophyletic group of small-bodied, diurnal geckos distributed across northern South America, Central America, and the Caribbean.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Camera trap detection zones are critical for estimating wildlife population sizes, but data scarcity hampers accurate measurement. Through a meta‐level analysis and modeling approach, we show that biological, environmental and camera trap traits can reliably predict detection zones, and that fewer than 25 detection events can yield <15% error when ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Worldwide, transportation agencies have been involved in road mitigation efforts to reduce road mortality and promote connectivity of endangered species. Baseline data on how mammals respond to highway construction, however, are rarely collected in road mitigation and monitoring studies, including in the USA.
