Endemic Species Of Flora Kuhitang Ridge
The American Journal of Agriculture and Biomedical Engineering, 2020 The article says that of the 25 endemic species of the Kugitang flora, 18 species are found in the eastern part of the ridge, i.e. within Uzbekistan. All endemic to the Uzbek part are protected by the Surkhan reserve. This indicator indicates the great importance of the Surkhan reserve in the gene pool of the Kugitang plant diversity.

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.Objective Quaking‐induced conversion (QuIC) tests, which detect prion‐seeding activity in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), have markedly advanced the antemortem diagnosis of prion diseases such as Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (CJD). These tests provide high diagnostic accuracy and enable timely differentiation from other rapidly progressive neurodegenerative ...

A Multiepitope‐Based Lateral Flow Assay for Leprosy Antibodies
Analysis &Sensing, EarlyView.An innovative lateral flow assay for leprosy diagnosis is based on gold nanoparticles and synthetic Mycobacterium leprae epitopes conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin protein to enhance antibody detection. This strategy provides a rapid, accurate, and low‐cost approach for resource‐limited settings, enabling the early detection of infection. Leprosy

Invasibility and species richness of island endemic arthropods: a general model of endemic vs. exotic species [PDF]
Journal of Biogeography, 2005 AbstractAim This paper has two objectives. First, we examine how a variety of biotic, abiotic and anthropogenic factors influence the endemic and introduced arthropod richness on an oceanic island. Second, we look at the relationship between the endemic and introduced arthropod richness, to ask whether areas with high levels of endemic species richness
