Correlation property of length sequences based on global structure of complete genome [PDF]

, 2000
This paper considers three kinds of length sequences of the complete genome. Detrended fluctuation analysis, spectral analysis, and the mean distance spanned within time $L$ are used to discuss the correlation property of these sequences.

Molecular detection of pathogens in an equine fever diagnostic panel: 2019–2023

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background A common diagnostic approach for febrile horses is to test for a panel of potential pathogens. Panels are curated by expert opinion and vary between diagnostic laboratories. Objectives To report the results of a newly developed equine fever diagnostic panel (EFDP) between 2019 and 2023 and evaluate the frequency of positive results.

Could the Optiplex Borrelia assay replace the traditional, two-step method of diagnosing Lyme disease?

Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine, 2022
Introduction and objective Serological assays for Lyme disease (LD) routinely performed in laboratories often give inconclusive results, thereby making correct diagnosis difficult and delaying treatment.

Antibody-resistant mutants of Borrelia burgdorferi: in vitro selection and characterization. [PDF]

, 1992
We used polyclonal antisera and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to inhibit the growth of clonal populations of two strains of Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease agent, and thereby select for antibody-resistant mutants.

Hospital‐treated infections and the risk and prognosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: A population‐based study

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Infection has been suspected as a risk factor for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, previous research has focused on specific pathogens and rarely examined the influence of infection on disease progression. Objectives To assess whether hospital‐treated infections correlate with the risk and prognosis of ALS.

Modulation of the tick gut milieu by a secreted tick protein favors Borrelia burgdorferi colonization

Nature Communications, 2017
The Lyme disease agent, Borrelia burgdorferi, colonizes the gut of the tick Ixodes scapularis, which transmits the pathogen to vertebrate hosts including humans. Here we show that B.
