Intestinal helminth co-infection is an unrecognised risk factor for increased pneumococcal carriage density and invasive disease

Scientific Reports, 2021
Infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of death in children and burden of disease is greatest where helminth infections are also common. We investigated the impact of intestinal helminth co-infection on pneumococcal carriage; a risk

Acute seizure risk in patients with encephalitis: development and validation of clinical prediction models from two independent prospective multicentre cohorts

BMJ Neurology Open, 2022
Objective In patients with encephalitis, the development of acute symptomatic seizures is highly variable, but when present is associated with a worse outcome.

Ecological and evolutionary implications of immunological priming in invertebrates [PDF]

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2004
Invertebrates have an immune response that differs considerably from the acquired immune response found in vertebrates. However, new studies indicate that past experience with a pathogen can provide individual invertebrates, or their descendants, with enhanced immunity.

Parasite Load and Site-Specific Parasite Pressure as Determinants of Immune Indices in Two Sympatric Rodent Species

Animals, 2019
Wildlife is exposed to parasites from the environment. This parasite pressure, which differs among areas, likely shapes the immunological strategies of animals. Individuals differ in the number of parasites they encounter and host, and this parasite load

Differential expression of CD11c defines two types of tissue-resident macrophages with different origins in steady-state salivary glands

Scientific Reports, 2022
Gland macrophages are primed for gland development and functions through interactions within their niche. However, the phenotype, ontogeny, and function of steady-state salivary gland (SG) macrophages remain unclear. We herein identified CD11c+ and CD11c−

Isolation and Characterisation of Bacteriophages with Activity against Invasive Non-Typhoidal Salmonella Causing Bloodstream Infection in Malawi

Viruses, 2021
In recent years, novel lineages of invasive non-typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS) serovars Typhimurium and Enteritidis have been identified in patients with bloodstream infection in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Role of Multiple Infections on Immunological Variation in Wild Populations

mSystems, 2019
A central challenge in the fields of evolutionary immunology and disease ecology is to understand the causes and consequences of natural variation in host susceptibility to infectious diseases.

Lymphocyte subsets in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) interrogated by single-cell sequencing

Communications Biology, 2022
Single-cell sequencing of naïve and vaccinated Atlantic Cod uncovers multiple B and T lymphocyte subsets including a subset of T lymphocytes expressing neither CD4 or CD8 and reveals different immune states present within B and T cell populations.

A social-ecological approach to conservation planning: embedding social considerations [PDF]

, 2013
Many conservation plans remain unimplemented, in part because of insufficient consideration of the social processes that influence conservation decisions. Complementing social considerations with an integrated understanding of the ecology of a region can

The immune role of the arthropod exoskeleton [PDF]

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2012
The exoskeleton or cuticle of arthropods is an important feature that contributes to their great success in colonising numerous habitats on earth. It has numerous functions among which to provide protection against parasites.
