Using cerebrospinal fluid to confirm Angiostrongylus cantonensis as the cause of canine neuroangiostrongyliasis in Australia where A. cantonensis and Angiostrongylus mackerrasae co-exist

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases, 2021
Both Angiostrongylus cantonensis and Angiostrongylus mackerrasae have been identified along the east coast of Australia. A lack of A. mackerrasae genomic data until 2019, however, has precluded the unequivocal identification of the Angiostrongylus ...

Shh production and Gli signaling is activated in vivo in lung, enhancing the Th2 response during a murine model of allergic asthma [PDF]

, 2017
The pathophysiology of allergic asthma is driven by T-helper 2 (Th2) immune responses following aeroallergen inhalation. The mechanisms that initiate, potentiate and regulate airways allergy are incompletely characterized.

The scourge of Rat lungworm disease in Continental Europe, an emerging parasite

International Journal of Surgery: Global Health, 2023
In Europe, rat lungworm diseases have so far been reported exclusively at the insular level, specifically in Rattus norvegicus and R. rattus rats in Tenerife (the Canary Islands) and Atelerix algirus hedgehogs in Mallorca (the Balearic Islands). Researchers in Spain detected the parasite, the rat lungworm (Angiostrongylus cantonensis), in two different

Desired and Feared Identities and Their Role in Occupational Identity Regulation

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper extends theory by showing how occupational identity regulation operates jointly through both desired and feared identities which, in combination, enforce normative control. Taking a narrative identity perspective and drawing on an ethnographic and interview‐based study of veterinarians, we make three principal contributions to our ...
