Legionella pneumophila modulates the host cytoskeleton by an effector of transglutaminase activity

mLife, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 232-248, June 2025.
Abstract The bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila delivers more than 330 effector proteins into host cells through its Dot/Icm type IV secretion system (T4SS) to facilitate its intracellular replication. A number of these effectors modulate organelle trafficking pathways to create a membrane‐bound niche called the Legionella‐containing vacuole ...

Sufficient reproduction numbers to prevent recurrent epidemics

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1186-1200, June 2025.
Abstract Current practice in the design and evaluation of control measures in disease ecology and epidemiology, including vaccination, is largely based on reproduction numbers (RNs), which represent prognostic indices of long‐term disease transmission, both in naïve populations (basic RN) and in the presence of prior exposure or infection containment ...

Imaging Diagnosis—Sonographic Features of Bilateral Renal Lymphangiectasia in an Azotemic Dog

Veterinary Radiology &Ultrasound, Volume 66, Issue 3, May 2025.
ABSTRACT A 9‐year‐old male neutered Labrador Retriever was referred for azotemia and bilateral renomegaly. An abdominal ultrasound revealed severe bilateral renomegaly with septated subcapsular cystic anechoic lesions, consistent with renal lymphangiectasia. Despite conservative management, the patient died.

Multiple Introductions of the Asian Longhorned Tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis) to the United States Revealed Using Mitogenomics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
The Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, is a significant global vector and threat to both agriculture and public health. Formerly known only in the Eastern Hemisphere, parthenogenetic ALT have been reported from 20 states across the eastern and central US, with a pattern of expansion suggestive of multiple distinct populations.

Survey of vector-borne agents in feral cats and first report of Babesia gibsoni in cats on St Kitts, West Indies

BMC Veterinary Research, 2017
Background As there is little data on vector-borne diseases of cats in the Caribbean region and even around the world, we tested feral cats from St Kitts by PCR to detect infections with Babesia, Ehrlichia and spotted fever group Rickettsia (SFGR) and ...
