Tick‐borne infectious diseases in Australia
Medical Journal of Australia, 2017 Tick bites in Australia can lead to a variety of illnesses in patients. These include infection, allergies, paralysis, autoimmune disease, post-infection fatigue and Australian multisystem disorder. Rickettsial (Rickettsia spp.) infections (Queensland tick typhus, Flinders Island spotted fever and Australian spotted fever) and Q fever (Coxiella ...

Harnessing the Biological Responses Induced by Nanomaterials for Enhanced Cancer Therapy
Aggregate, EarlyView.Nanomaterial (NM)‐induced toxicity can be strategically repurposed for cancer therapy. This review summarizes the mechanism by which NMs selectively activate specific cellular processes to regulate cell fate independently. We also discussed how NMs‐induced biological responses can be leveraged as therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment.

Effectiveness of Residential Acaricides to Prevent Lyme and Other Tick-borne Diseases in Humans.
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2016 BACKGROUND In the northeastern United States, tick-borne diseases are a major public health concern. In controlled studies, a single springtime application of acaricide has been shown to kill 68%-100% of ticks.

Self‐Healing Materials from Electronically Integrated Microscopic Robots
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Submillimeter robots can use electronically controlled electrodeposition to assemble into a material structure. The resulting aggregate possesses ultralow density, high strength‐to‐weight ratio, and can heal from damage. Further afield, these results clear a path to materials that organize or adapt by directing matter and information at the microscale.

Quantification of the impact of climate change on animal health: effects on pathogens, vectors, and hosts [PDF]
, 2015 Several animal or zoonotic emerging infectious disease (EID) events were recently caused by vector-borne pathogens, e.g. bluetongue virus transmitted by biting midges, or tick-borne encephalitis in Europe.
