Two residues determine nicotinic acetylcholine receptor requirement for RIC-3. [PDF]
Protein Sci, 2023 Abstract Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (N‐AChRs) mediate fast synaptic signaling and are members of the pentameric ligand‐gated ion channel (pLGIC) family. They rely on a network of accessory proteins in vivo for correct formation and transport to the cell surface.

Neuroimmune Pain and Its Manipulation by Pathogens. [PDF]
Evol ApplABSTRACT Recent studies highlight extensive crosstalk that exists between sensory neurons responsible for pain and the immune system. Cutaneous pain neurons detect harmful microbes, recruit immune cells, and produce anticipatory immunity in nearby tissues. These complementary systems generally protect hosts from infections.

Ecological Applications, Volume 31, Issue 5, July 2021., 2021 Abstract Variation in the spatial ecology of animals influences the transmission of infections and so understanding host behavior can improve the control of diseases. Despite the global distribution of free‐ranging domestic dogs Canis familiaris and their role as reservoirs for zoonotic diseases, little is known about the dynamics of their space use ...

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 531-542, March 2021., 2021 Abstract The global programme for the eradication of Guinea worm disease, caused by the parasitic nematode Dracunculus medinensis, has been successful in driving down human cases, but infections in non‐human animals, particularly domestic dogs (Canis familiaris), now present a major obstacle to further progress. Dog infections have mainly been found in

Pest categorisation of Liriomyza sativae
EFSA Journal, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2020., 2020 Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Liriomyza sativae (Diptera: Agromyzidae) for the EU. L. sativae (the cabbage or vegetable leaf miner; EPPO code: LIRISA) is a polyphagous pest native to the Americas which has spread to Africa, Asia and Oceania. L. sativae can have multiple overlapping generations per year. Eggs

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 The increase in demand for agricultural produce necessitates the continuous search for affordable, ecofriendly, readily available crop protectors, and food preservatives. Historically, the use of various chemicals was employed in controlling plant diseases and to maintain food quality. In the past few decades, several natural product‐based alternatives

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 This study was conducted to comparatively assess the anthelminthic activity of leaves, stem bark, and seeds of Carica papaya, in order to identify which of the plant parts possess the highest anthelminthic activity. Three concentrations of ethanolic and hydroethanolic extracts of the plant parts (1 mg/ml, 2.5 mg/ml, and 5 mg/ml) were prepared and ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 8, Issue 9, Page 4606-4618, May 2018., 2018 Parasites can enhance their fitness by modifying the behavior of their hosts. Using antihelminthic drugs to experimentally remove lungworm infection from cane toads, we were able to show behavioral modifications in the toads that enhanced rather than decreased parasite fitness.

Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 Guinea worm disease (GWD) is both a neglected tropical disease and an environmentally driven infectious disease. Environmentally driven infectious diseases remain one of the biggest health threats for human welfare in developing countries and the threat is increased by the looming danger of climate change. In this paper we present a multiscale model of

Pixelated pathologies: Camera trapping as a tool for monitoring wildlife health
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 11, Page 2894-2913, November 2025.Given the increasing emergence of diseases, some with conservation and public health implications, improving and expanding wildlife health surveillance strategies is imperative. Camera trapping is particularly relevant for detecting new outbreaks, monitoring high‐risk zones and evaluating risk mitigation measures. Abstract Camera trapping has become an
