Anaplasma phagocytophilum infection subverts carbohydrate metabolic pathways in the tick vector, Ixodes scapularis
(Frontiers Media, 2017-02-07)
The obligate intracellular pathogen, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, is the causative agent of human, equine, and canine granulocytic anaplasmosis and tick-borne fever (TBF) in ruminants. A. phagocytophilum has become an emerging ...
The role for CYCLIN A1;2/TARDY ASYNCHRONOUS MEIOSIS in differentiated cells in Arabidopsis
(2013-07-20)
The Arabidopsis A1-type cyclin, CYCA1;2, also named TARDY ASYNCHRONOUS MEIOSIS (TAM), is known for its positive role in meiotic cell cycle progression, but its function in other cells has not been characterized. Here we ...
Transcriptional and metabolic signatures of Arabidopsis responses to chewing damage by an insect herbivore and bacterial infection and the consequences of their interaction
(Frontiers Media, 2014-09-17)
Plants use multiple interacting signaling systems to identify and respond to biotic stresses. Although it is often assumed that there is specificity in signaling responses to specific pests, this is rarely examined outside ...
Are we there yet? How to keep organizational momentum going after the excitement of change is over

Experimental analysis of reintroduction strategies to conserve the vulnerable plains topminnow Fundulus sciadicus in Nebraska
(Inter Research, 2017-11-23)
Plains topminnow Fundulus sciadicus are endemic to the Great Plains (USA), and because of declines in their geographic range and local abundance, are granted protection throughout their native range. Experimental reintroductions ...
Primer modification improves rapid and sensitive in vitro and field-deployable assays for detection of High plains virus variants
(American Society for Microbiology, 2014-01)
A high consequence pathogen, High plains virus (HPV) causes considerable damage to wheat if the crop is infected during early stages of development. Methods for the early, accurate, and sensitive detection of HPV in plant ...
Profile, perceptions and future expectations of medical laboratory scientists in Namibia
(AOSIS, 2015-08-20)
Background: Public healthcare systems in sub-Saharan Africa are challenged by healthcare worker shortages, loss of trained staff and attrition to the private sector. Studies have historically focused on medical doctors, ...
Mediation analysis with survival outcomes: Accelerated failure time vs. proportional hazards models
(Frontiers Media, 2016-03-30)
Objective: Survival time is an important type of outcome variable in treatment research. Currently, limited guidance is available regarding performing mediation analyses with survival outcomes, which generally do not have ...
Oral re-vaccination of Eurasian wild boar with Mycobacterium bovis BCG yields a strong protective response against challenge with a field strain
(BioMed Central, 2014-04-26)
Background: Field vaccination trials with Mycobacterium bovis BCG, an attenuated mutant of M. bovis, are ongoing in Spain, where the Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa) is regarded as the main driver of animal tuberculosis ...
