Serum cytokines in periodontal diseases
Abstract Periodontal disease, including gingivitis and periodontitis, is a chronic inflammatory condition that leads to the destruction of the supporting structures of teeth. The disease is characterized by a complex immune response, where cytokines play a central role in regulating both inflammation and tissue breakdown.

Role of carriers in the transmission of pneumonia in bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis)
In the absence of livestock contact, recurring lamb mortality in bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) populations previously exposed to pneumonia indicates the likely presence of carriers of pneumonia-causing pathogens, and possibly inadequate maternally ...
