Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.This study aims to investigate the variations in cytokine and electrolyte levels among rhesus macaques, cynomolgus monkeys, and assamese macaques in terms of species, sex, and age. By assessing 23 immune function indicators and 5 electrolyte indicators, significant differences in cytokine and electrolyte levels were detected across different monkey ...

Schistosoma mansoni cercariae exploit an elastohydrodynamic coupling to swim efficiently [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 The motility of many parasites is critical for the infection process of their host, as exemplified by the transmission cycle of the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni. In their human infectious stage, immature, submillimetre-scale forms of the parasite known as cercariae swim in freshwater and infect humans by penetrating through the skin.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Testudines are one of the best‐represented taxonomic groups among the Paleogene taxa of the Duero Basin (Castile and Leon Autonomous Community, central Spain). Among them, Neochelys (Podocnemidide) and Allaeochelys (Carettochelyidae) are most abundant, allowing the population to be assessed for osteological anomalies.

High host density favors greater virulence: a model of parasite-host dynamics based on multi-type branching processes [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 We use a multitype continuous time Markov branching process model to describe the dynamics of the spread of parasites of two types that can mutate into each other in a common host population. Instead of using a single virulence characteristic which is typical of most mathematical models for infectious diseases, our model uses a combination of two ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) possesses an exocrine gland associated with its false gill slit pigmentation pattern. The cervical gill slit gland is a compound tubuloalveolar gland that produces a holocrine secretion and displays maturational changes in size and secretory histology. While the morphology of the cervical gill slit gland

Gametocytes infectiousness to mosquitoes: variable selection using random forests, and zero inflated models [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 Malaria control strategies aiming at reducing disease transmission intensity may impact both oocyst intensity and infection prevalence in the mosquito vector. Thus far, mathematical models failed to identify a clear relationship between Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes and their infectiousness to mosquitoes.

Influenza-associated mortality for different causes of death during the 2010-2011 through the 2014-2015 influenza seasons in Russia [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Background: There is limited information on the volume of influenza-associated mortality in Russia. Methods: Using previously developed methodology (Goldstein et al., Epidemiology 2012), we regressed the monthly rates of mortality for respiratory causes, circulatory causes, and for certain infectious and parasitic diseases (available from the Russian
