Improving the use of expert opinion in disease risk analysis for conservation translocations
Abstract Conservation translocations are subject to considerable uncertainty and risk, of which disease is one of the most recognized. To address disease risks, several protocols for qualitative disease risk analysis (qDRA) exist and are used for responsible conservation translocation planning.

Trichomonas vaginalis: paradigm of a successful sexually transmitted organism [PDF]
Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) is one of the most successful protozoan pathogens and one of the most common sexually transmitted organism in females, yet it is also one of the most poorly investigated.

Post‐LECA Origin and Diversification of an Axonemal Outer Arm Dynein Motor
ABSTRACT Dyneins were present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) and play key roles in eukaryotic biology. Axonemal dyneins form the inner and outer arms that power ciliary beating, and it has long been recognized that outer arms in some organisms contain two different heavy chain motors, whereas those from other species contain a third unit

Trichomonas vaginalis infection in human immunodeficiency virus-seropositive Nigerian women: The public health significance [PDF]
Evidence from the biology and epidemiology of Trichomonas vaginalis suggests that this protozoan parasite may play an important role in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission dynamics, especially where heterosexual behaviour and a high ...

HIV Transmission and Immunology of the Male Reproductive Tract
ABSTRACT The penile epithelium, encompassing multiple anatomical sites, is the primary location of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acquisition in heterosexual men. Although the per‐contact risk of penile HIV acquisition is generally low, substantial global discrepancies in HIV prevalence still exist, particularly in low‐income regions.

SEXUAL HEALTH AND INFECTION RISK DURING THE PERIMENOPAUSAL AND POSTMENOPAUSAL TRANSITION
Sexual health in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women is shaped by complex interactions between hormonal fluctuations, physical changes, and psychosocial factors.

BackgroundTrichomonas vaginalis has an unusually large genome (approximately 160 Mb) encoding approximately 60,000 proteins. With the goal of beginning to understand why some Trichomonas genes are present in so many copies, we characterized here a family

Microtubule Inner Protein CFAP77 Contributes to Sperm Motility and Male Fertility in Mice
ABSTRACT Background Sperm motility is essential for male fertility, and its regulation is dependent on the structural integrity of the axoneme. The axoneme consists of a conserved “9+2” microtubule arrangement and is supported by microtubule inner proteins. However, the functional significance of many microtubule inner proteins remains unclear.
