High‐throughput microfluidic real‐time PCR as a promising tool in disease ecology
This work highlights the diversity of disease ecology questions Htrt PCR could contribute to addressing in a given host–pathogen ecosystem. This tool could be used to answer a broad set of basic and applied questions in animal ecology, notably by providing a way to address issues involving communities of hosts and communities of pathogens.

Sin Nombre Virus Does Not Impair Respiratory Function of Wild Deer Mice [PDF]
Deer mice are the primary host for Sin Nombre virus, a recently discovered hantavirus, that causes the near abolition of lung function in humans. Sin Nombre virus infects the lungs of deer mice, but its physiological effects on deer mice are poorly known. We tested whether the virus affects respiratory function of deer mice by comparing maximal aerobic

Reappraisal of the Dilution and Amplification Effect Framework: A Case Study in Lyme Disease
The biodiversity–disease relationship posits two hypotheses: the dilution effect (where there's a negative relationship between biodiversity and disease risk) and the amplification effect (where there's a positive relationship). However, the literature has historically treated these hypotheses as either/or, ignoring the potential for a null result.

Updated insights into the molecular pathogenesis of canine atopic dermatitis
Abstract Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common and chronic inflammatory skin disease with frequent relapses. The genomics revolution has greatly contributed and revolutionised our knowledge of human AD; understanding the molecular skin fingerprint of AD and associated pathogenic immune pathways has led to preclinical assessments of several novel ...

Microarray detection of human parainfluenzavirus 4 infection associated with respiratory failure in an immunocompetent adult. [PDF]
A pan-viral DNA microarray, the Virochip (University of California, San Francisco), was used to detect human parainfluenzavirus 4 (HPIV-4) infection in an immunocompetent adult presenting with a life-threatening acute respiratory illness.

This protocol sets out the research methodologies for a systematic map to identify, collate and describe the information that exists on the effects of sea lice from net‐pen salmon farms on wild, enhanced or farmed Pacific (i.e. Chinook, coho, chum, sockeye or pink salmon) and Atlantic salmon globally. The results will help guide further exploration and
