ACVIM consensus statement on the diagnosis of immune thrombocytopenia in dogs and cats

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 1958-1981, July/August 2024.
Abstract Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is the most common acquired primary hemostatic disorder in dogs. Immune thrombocytopenia less commonly affects cats but is an important cause of mortality and treatment‐associated morbidity in both species. Immune thrombocytopenia remains a diagnosis of exclusion for which diagnostic guidelines are lacking ...

Comparative Genomics of a Parthenogenesis-Inducing Wolbachia Symbiont. [PDF]

, 2016
Wolbachia is an intracellular symbiont of invertebrates responsible for inducing a wide variety of phenotypes in its host. These host-Wolbachia relationships span the continuum from reproductive parasitism to obligate mutualism, and provide a unique ...

Targeting Haemaphysalis longicornis serpin to prevent tick feeding and pathogen transmission

Insect Science, Volume 31, Issue 3, Page 694-706, June 2024.
Fed nymphal Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks produce anticoagulant serpins (Hlserpin‐a and Hlserpin‐b) that aid tick feeding. Targeting these serpins through RNA interference or immunization significantly impairs tick feeding. Silencing Hlserpins also reduces Langat virus transmission from ticks to mice.

Hydrophobicity: The door to drug delivery

Journal of Peptide Science, Volume 30, Issue 5, May 2024.
The first step in creating new materials with enhanced functionality is to comprehend and characterize the interplay between hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules at the molecular level. Thus, the focus of this review is on the function of hydrophobicity, which is essential for matching the complexity of biological environments with the intended ...

Zoonotic disease classification in wildlife: a theoretical framework for researchers

Mammal Review, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 63-77, January 2024.
Classification systems are useful tools for aggregating diseases to study them in more detail. However, the current systems are mainly designed for use in health care and fail to capture many details of zoonotic diseases. The goal of this study was to develop a framework for the classification of zoonotic diseases which can generate data useful to ...

Tick Tock—A Matter of Time: Two Cases of Babesia Acquired in Urban Newark, NJ

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Babesiosis is a parasitic tick‐borne infectious disease that is well elucidated in medical literature and known to be endemic to the Midwest and northeast United States. However, like other infectious diseases, its epidemiology is subject to change. This case report documents two cases with clinical presentations that deviate from what is expected in ...
