Gastrointestinal parasites of a population of emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) in Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology, 2019
Emus are large flightless birds in the ratite group and are native to Australia. Since the mid-1980s, there has been increased interest in the captive breeding of emus for the production of leather, meat and oil.

Health Research Funders and Justice: Obligations to Coordinate and Counterbalance

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Government health research funders are frequently criticized on the grounds that their distribution of resources fails to reflect a population's disease burden. These critiques do not take into account what other research funders are doing. In this paper, I argue that this is a mistake.

Dark diversity of flea (Siphonaptera) assemblages in South American rodents: Latitudinal and altitudinal gradients

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
The dark diversity of compound flea communities increased from north to south. The dark diversity of compound flea communities increased from lower to higher altitudes. The dark diversity of component flea communities also increased from north to south but did not vary with altitude.

Sustainable control of cyathostomin infections in practice

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Cyathostomins are the most prevalent helminths in horses and are found in nearly all grazing groups. These parasites have been shown to exhibit widespread anthelmintic resistance and can cause clinical disease, so they are a growing concern.

Degradomics for large‐scale mechanistic insights on proteases and proteolysis in human health

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Proteolysis has an important role in human disease but remains relatively unexplored. Degradomics, the uncovering of proteolysis in tissues, cells, and proteins, uses mass spectrometry‐based terminomics to identify protein termini occurring therein (forward degradomics) and to define the actions of proteases (reverse degradomics).

Impact of helminth co-infection and treatment on mycobacterial growth inhibition in UK migrants with TB infection

open access: yesIJTLD Open
BACKGROUND: TB and helminth infections are co-endemic in many parts of the world. This has led to the hypothesis that immunomodulation due to helminth infections could adversely affect the ability to control Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

Minimal Disease Activity as A New Therapeutic Target in Atopic Dermatitis: A 5‐Year Real‐Life Experience With Dupilumab

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with significant physical and psychosocial burden. Dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting IL‐4Rα, has proven to be effective for moderate‐to‐severe AD, but long‐term real‐world data remain limited.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.
