Noma affected children from Niger have distinct oral microbial communities based on high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene fragments. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 We aim to understand the microbial ecology of noma (cancrum oris), a devastating ancient illness which causes severe facial disfigurement in>140,000 malnourished children every year. The cause of noma is still elusive.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 179-188, June 2023., 2023 Lipoptena cervi and Ixodes scapularis sampled from the same white‐tailed deer did not consistently harbour similar bacterial genera (N = 38 deer). Non‐systemic acquisition of pathogens by keds requires further study. Bartonella sp. was detected from deer ked species (Lipoptena sp., Neolipoptena ferrisi) in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee ...

Andrology, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 756-769, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Background It has been estimated that microorganisms are involved in the pathogenesis of approximately 20% of all cancers. Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common type of malignancy in young men and arise from the precursor cell, germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS).

Microfluidic devices for studying bacterial taxis, drug testing and biofilm formation
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 15, Issue 2, Page 395-414, February 2022., 2022 Microfluidics is an emerging technique that can complements current biological assays. Here, we review some key microfluidic‐based studies describing the effects of different microenvironmental conditions on bacterial phenotypes. We also highlight the potential and possibilities of using microfluidic‐based technology to study bacterial phenotypes in ...

International Journal of Nephrology, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex condition that can occur in both community and hospital settings and has many aetiologies. These aetiologies may be infectious, toxic, surgical, or related to the different management methods. Although it is a major public health problem worldwide, it must be emphasised that both its incidence and mortality rate ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 595-606, December 2021., 2021 Three thousand one hundred and fifty individual Ixodes ricinus ticks from Northern Germany were screened for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Borrelia miyamotoi, revealing an overall Borrelia prevalence of 30.6%. Analysis of co‐infections with Rickettsiales indicated a negative association between Borrelia and Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection ...

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 10, Issue 3, June 2021., 2021 We used a modified and highly replicated Winogradsky column approach for analyzing simultaneous global change effects (temperature and nutrient addition) on aquatic stratified microbial communities. We found that these global change treatments can have interaction effects and can differ between the oxic and anoxic layers and the community within ...

Invasive plants as catalysts for the spread of human parasites [PDF]
, 2011 To a degree not widely recognized, some naturalized and invasive plants increase the risks to human health by enhancing the proliferation of vectors of virulent human parasites. These potential risks are restricted by neither ecosystem nor geography. The
