Fatal spinal cord compression in a horse with chronic actinobacterial cranial nuchal bursitis
Summary A 14‐year‐old warmblood gelding was managed for waxing and waning cranial nuchal bursitis for 2 years. Intensive medical and surgical management was not curative, and the patient was subjected to euthanasia after becoming acutely recumbent. Ante‐mortem and post‐mortem next generation sequencing of bursal tissue and post‐mortem conventional PCR ...

Citizen Science Tick Observations Serve as an Early Warning System for Tick‐Borne Diseases
ABSTRACT Introduction Tick observation data collected through citizen science is increasingly utilised to map tick‐borne infection risk areas indirectly, that is, based on the rate of tick encounters or occurrence of ticks. However, direct associations between tick observations and Lyme borreliosis (LB) cases have received little attention.

Emergence of Ixodes scapularis and Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease vector and agent, in Ohio [PDF]
Lyme disease, the most common vector-borne disease in the United States, is caused by a tick-borne infection with Borrelia burgdorferi. Currently, Ohio is considered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to be non-endemic for Lyme ...

We characterised nine SPFH‐domain containing proteins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 and found remarkable sequence divergence and scattered evolutionary distribution. Functional analyses showed that single or multiple deletions had no detectable impact on growth, motility, biofilm formation, stress resistance or virulence under laboratory conditions ...
