Abstract Background We have recently described a peculiar feature of the promoters in two Drosophila Tc1-like elements, Bari1 and Bari3. The AT-richness and the presence of weak... -
Citizen science informs human-tick exposure in the Northeastern United States
Abstract Background Tick-borne disease is the result of spillover of pathogens into the human population. Traditionally, literature has focused on characterization of tick-borne... -
Divergent transcriptomic responses underlying the ranaviruses-amphibian inter...
Abstract Background Ranaviruses (family Iridoviridae, nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses) have been reported as promiscuous pathogens of cold-blooded vertebrates. Rana grylio... -
Flying ticks: anciently evolved associations that constitute a risk of infect...
Abstract Ticks are important vectors of emerging zoonotic diseases affecting human and animal health worldwide. Ticks are often found on wild birds, which have been long... -

Abstract Objective We developed a laboratorial platform to release a commercial platform used in the PCR-ELISA for the molecular diagnosis of schistosomiasis mansoni. On... -
Pre-announcement of symbiotic guests: transcriptional reprogramming by mycorr...
Abstract Background More than 80 % of all terrestrial plant species establish an arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) symbiosis with Glomeromycota fungi. This plant-microbe interaction... -
Comparative metatranscriptome analysis revealed broad response of microbial c...
Abstract Background Studying expression of genes by direct sequencing and analysis of metatranscriptomes at a particular time and space can disclose structural and functional... -
Fluid management of the neurological patient: A concise review

Abstract Background Melioidosis is a tropical infectious disease which is being increasingly recognised throughout the globe. Infection occurs in humans and animals, typically... -
A Waste Supply-Use Analysis of Australian Waste Flows
Abstract In this paper we apply the Lenzen and Reynolds (2014) Waste Supply Use Table extension of Nakamura and Kondo’s (2002a) Waste Input–Output (WIO) framework to the 2008... -
Lagovirus europeus GI.2 (rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2) infection in cap...
Abstract Background Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV, Lagovirus europeus GI.1) induces a contagious and highly lethal hemorrhagic disease in rabbits. In 2010 a new... -
Aboveground biomass estimation at different scales for subtropical forests in...
Abstract Background The accurate estimation of forest biomass at different scales is the critical step in the assessment of forest carbon stocks. We used three models at... -
