Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

Spotted fever rickettsioses causing myocarditis and ARDS: a case from Sri Lanka

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2018
Background Spotted fever group of rickettsial infections are emerging in Sri Lanka. We describe a patient with rapidly progressing ARDS and myocarditis secondary to spotted fever caused by Rickettsia conorii.

Surface proteins of typhus and spotted fever group rickettsiae [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1978
Six proteins, previously established as major constituents of intact organisms, were identified in cell envelopes obtained from intrinsically radiolabeled Rickettsia prowazekii. Extrinsic radioiodination of intact organisms conducted at 0.5 micronM iodide indicated that protein 4 was the most peripheral, although protein 1 also had reactive groups ...

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Murine cytomegalovirus genomic material in marrow cells; relation to altered leukocyte counts during sublethal infection of mice [PDF]

, 1987
To investigate infection of hematopoietic cells by murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV), we used in situ hybridization to detect MCMV genomic material in marrow cells during sublethal infection of three-week-old mice.

Non‐Syndromic Tumefactive Demyelinating Lesions in the Pediatric Population: Four Case Reports and Review of the Literature

Annals of the Child Neurology Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Tumefactive demyelinating lesions (TDLs) are large lesions (> 2 cm) seen in demyelinating syndromes such as multiple sclerosis, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody‐associated disorder, and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder. They rarely occur in children and most often have a monophasic course.

Serological evidence of exposure to Rickettsia felis and Rickettsia typhi in Australian veterinarians [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Rickettsia felis and Rickettsia typhi are emerging arthropod-borne zoonoses causing fever and flu-like symptoms. Seroprevalence and risk factors associated with exposure to these organisms was explored in Australian veterinarians.

Molecular epidemiology and phylogeny of spotted fever group Rickettsia in camels (Camelus dromedarius) and their infesting ticks from Tunisia.

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2019
Rickettsia species are adapted to a wide range of specific animal hosts. Camels (Camelus dromedarius) have been identified as a carrier of various zoonotic pathogens and became a focus of growing public-health interest. This study reported the occurrence

Behavioral and epileptic phenotypes in a CHD2‐related developmental delay model

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Heterozygous loss‐of‐function mutations in the CHD2 gene, encoding chromodomain helicase DNA‐binding protein 2, are associated with severe childhood onset epilepsy, global developmental delay, and autistic features. Animal models that accurately recapitulate human phenotypes are crucial for understanding rare neurodevelopmental ...

Mechanisms of immunity to Rickettsia and implications for vaccine development

Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Pecuarias, 2017
Immunity to spotted fever group Rickettsiae following primary infection prevents reinfection as judged by the absence of documented second infections after recovery.
