DISPARATE DYNAMICS OF PATHOGEN PREVALENCE IN IXODES RICINUS AND DERMACENTOR RETICULATUS TICKS OCCURRING SYMPATRICALLY IN DIVERSE HABITATS

Disparate dynamics of pathogen prevalence in Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor reticulatus ticks occurring sympatrically in diverse habitats

Abstract Ixodes ricinus and Dermacentor reticulatus ticks are important reservoirs and vectors of pathogens.The aim of the present study was to investigate the dynamic of the prevalence and genetic diversity of microorganisms detected in these tick species collected from two ecologically diverse biotopes undergoing disparate long-term climate condi

Bilateral single-system ectopic ureters: a case report

Abstract Introduction While 20% of ectopic ureters are bilateral, bilateral single-system ectopic ureters constitute a rare occurrence.They present as continuous incontinence in females owing to the ectopic ureteral openings being located outside the bladder.Managing bilateral single-system ectopic ureters can be challenging owing to the reduced bl

A protein-protein interaction map reveals that the Coxiella burnetii effector CirB inhibits host proteasome activity.

Coxiella burnetii is the etiological agent of the zoonotic disease Q fever, which is featured by its ability to replicate in acid vacuoles resembling the lysosomal network.One key virulence determinant of C.burnetii is the Dot/Icm system that transfers more than 150 effector proteins into arbor formula rocker snowboard 2023 host cells.These effecto
