Genetic and phenotypic parameters for sexual precocity and parasite resistance traits in Nellore cattle
J Appl Genet. 2023 Sep 8. doi: 10.1007/s13353-023-00781-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIndicator traits of sexual precocity are widely used as selection criteria for the genetic improvement of beef cattle; however, the impact of selection for these traits on resistance to endoparasites and ectoparasites is unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the genetic and phenotypic parameters for indicator traits of sexual precocity and parasite resistance in Nellore cattle. The sexual precocity traits evaluated were probability of first calving (PFC) and scrotal circumference at 12 and 18 months of age (SC12 and SC18). T...

The neuro-exocrine secretion: A new type of gland in tapeworms?
Zoology (Jena). 2023 Sep 4;160:126119. doi: 10.1016/j.zool.2023.126119. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe phenomenon of exocrine secretion via nervous cells into the host tissue has been discovered in cestodes. In five cestode species of different orders specialized "cup-shaped" free nerve endings located in the tegument have been found. Their ultrastructure is characterized by the presence of a septate junction, a thin support ring and neurosecretory vesicles 90-110 nm in diameter, which are secreted onto the surface of the tegument through a thin pore. The phenomenon is referred to in this article as the neuro-exocrine s...

Alkaline Ni-Zn Rechargeable Batteries for Sustainable Energy Storage: Battery Components, Deterioration Mechanisms, and Impact of Additives
ChemSusChem. 2023 Sep 8:e202300940. doi: 10.1002/cssc.202300940. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe demand for long-term, sustainable, and low-cost battery energy storage systems with high power delivery capabilities for stationary grid-scale energy storage, as well as the necessity for safe lithium-ion battery alternatives, has renewed interest in aqueous zinc-based rechargeable batteries. The Alkaline Ni-Zn rechargeable battery chemistry was identified as a promising technology for sustainable energy storage applications, albeit a considerable investment in academic research, it still fails to deliver the requisite perfor...

Clinical features of infectious uveitis in a Tunisian population
CONCLUSION: This study highlighted the causes and clinical features of IU in our setting. Tuberculosis remains one of its most frequent etiologies in Tunisia. However, a larger multicenter national study would allow a more precise evaluation.PMID:37682270

The interplay between toxoplasmosis and host miRNAs: Mechanisms and consequences
Pathol Res Pract. 2023 Sep 6;250:154790. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2023.154790. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTToxoplasmosis is one of the highly prevalent zoonotic diseases worldwide caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii). The infection with T. gondii could pass unidentified in immunocompetent individuals; however, latent cysts remain dormant in their digestive tract, but they could be shed and excreted with feces infesting the environment. However, active toxoplasmosis can create serious consequences, particularly in newborns and infected persons with compromised immunity. These complications include ocular toxopla...

Trypanosomes as a magnifying glass for cell and molecular biology
Trends Parasitol. 2023 Sep 5:S1471-4922(23)00195-2. doi: 10.1016/j.pt.2023.08.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe African trypanosome, Trypanosoma brucei, has developed into a flexible and robust experimental model for molecular and cellular parasitology, allowing us to better combat these and related parasites that cause worldwide suffering. Diminishing case numbers, due to efficient public health efforts, and recent development of new drug treatments have reduced the need for continued study of T. brucei in a disease context. However, we argue that this pathogen has been instrumental in revolutionary discoveries that ...

Implementation and Outcomes of an Empiric Ivermectin Strongyloides Treatment Protocol for Patients Receiving High-Dose Corticosteroids for Severe COVID-19
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2023 Jul 17;109(3):650-655. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.23-0121. Print 2023 Sep 6.ABSTRACTStrongyloides stercoralis is a parasitic roundworm that is present worldwide and can cause lifelong, often asymptomatic, infection. Immunosuppression, particularly by corticosteroids, is a risk factor for hyperinfection syndrome and disseminated strongyloidiasis-severe disease states that can lead to septic shock and death. Our institution implemented a strongyloidiasis screening and empiric ivermectin treatment protocol for inpatients receiving high-dose corticosteroids for severe COVID-19. Among 487 COVID-19 admissions tre...

Recent advances in fluorescence-based chemosensing of organoarsenic feed additives using luminescence MOFs, COFs, HOFs, and QDs
Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Sep 7. doi: 10.1039/d3cc03125j. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOrganoarsenics are low-toxicity compounds that are used widely as feed additives to promote livestock growth, enhance meat pigmentation, and fight against intestinal parasites. The organoarsenic compounds are commonly found in poultry waste and the degradation of organoarsenic produces the toxic carcinogen inorganic arsenic such as As(V) and As(III), which results in severe arsenic pollution of soil and groundwater. As a consequence, there exists a high necessity to develop suitable sensing methods for the trace detection and quantificat...
