Effects of Vector Density on Blood Parasite Spread and Health Consequences for Avian Hosts: An Experimental Epidemiology Blueprint

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In an experimental epidemiology setup, groups of pigeons were exposed to different numbers of infective malaria vectors. Vector number explained the speed of transmission, the final prevalence, and changes in host behavior. ABSTRACT Vector density plays a critical role in the transmission dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and thus in their health and ...

Performance of point‐of‐care tests for diagnosing feline immunodeficiency virus infection in captive African lions (Panthera leo)

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Point‐of‐care (PoC) antibody (Ab) testing forms an integral component of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) diagnosis in both domestic and non‐domestic felids, with test kits designed for use in domestic cats frequently extrapolated for use in their wild counterparts. The SNAP® FIV/FeLV Combo lateral flow ELISA is commonly used to assign FIV infection

Extracellular vesicles in pharmacology: Innovations in drug delivery and therapeutic applications in cancer

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a diverse population of membrane nanoparticles secreted by nearly all cell types, playing a key role in intercellular communication by transferring bioactive macromolecular cargo. In cancer, EVs shape both the local tumour microenvironment and distant premetastatic niches.

Salivary-gland ultrasonography grade correlates with salivary flow and histology.

open access: yes, 2016
SGUS, salivary gland ultrasonography; UWSF, unstimulated whole salivary flow. The total SGUS grade obtained by summing the grades of the two parotid and two submandibular glands can range from 0 to 16.
