Experimental design impacts the vector competence of Ornithodoros ticks for African swine fever virus: a meta-analysis of published evaluations

Peer Community Journal
African Swine Fever (ASF) is a highly economically devastating viral disease for swine. Soft ticks of the genus Ornithodoros are involved in its epidemiology, as vectors and natural reservoirs of African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV). The vector competence of

3D‐Printed Sinus Lift Training Models as an Educational Tool for Dental Students

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose/Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate whether 3D‐printed models can be an inexpensive and suitable way to train dental students to perform a sinus lift. Methods The sinus lift model was created using CAD/CAM technology. Approximately one year prior to their final examination, thirty‐one dental students evaluated and tested ...

Cuticular plasticization in the tick, Amblyomma hebraeum (Acari: Ixodidae): possible roles of monoamines and cuticular pH

, 2010
: The degree of plasticization of the alloscutal cuticle of a 'hard' (ixodid) tick, Amblyomma hebraeum, and a 'soft' (argasid) tick, Ornithodoros moubata, was assessed throughout the blood-feeding period.

Effect of age class on the survivorship and spatial movement patterns of headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
When compared to resident lizards of the corresponding age class, juvenile headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population exhibited more favorable responses to short‐term translocation objectives (i.e., daily movement rates, home range sizes, and survival rates) than did conspecifics headstarted to the adult age class ...

Dynamic coronal plane knee alignment: Femoral anatomy determines kinematic curve morphology, tibial anatomy determines curve position

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose A single hip–knee–ankle angle (HKA) angle does not reflect the biomechanics of native, arthritic or prosthetic knees. Since HKA varies throughout flexion, dynamic coronal alignment is best represented by a kinematic curve plotting HKA against the range of motion.

Ascertaining Differential Use of Cave Habitats by Mammal Species Based on Soft Tick Abundance

Ticks are relevant vectors that play crucial roles in zoonotic pathogenic cycles. With a rise in tick-borne diseases (TBD) in North America, it is imperative to identify reservoir hosts where certain TBDs are endemic.
