Modeling co-infection of Ixodes tick-borne pathogens by Yijun Lou, Li Liu, Daozhou Gao

“…Ticks, including the Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes scapularis hard tick species, are regarded as the most common arthropod vectors of both human and animal diseases in Europe and the United States capable of transmitting a large number of bacteria, viruses and parasites. Since ticks in larval and nymphal stages share the same host community which can harbor multiple pathogens, they may be co-infected with two or more pathogens, with a subsequent high likelihood of co-transmission to humans or animals. …”

"An overgrown monster": London in Some Eighteenth-Century Writings by Hélène Dachez

“…Londres, lieu malléable par excellence, où alternent circulation déréglée et menace de stase, devient le lieu de tous les excès, et les auteurs mettent en avant un processus de contamination réciproque entre les êtres répréhensibles qui y pullulent et la capitale parasite, corrompue et corruptrice.Il faut alors souligner et analyser le traitement particulièrement original que propose Samuel Richardson (qui partage avec Samuel Johnson un amour immense pour la capitale), dans Clarissa, où Londres joue un rôle primordial dans le destin des personnages et dans l’économie du roman.…”

Stage-specific expression and divergent functions of two insulinase-like proteases associated with host infectivity in Cryptosporidium. by Yue Huang, Shifeng Pei, Xin Lv, Fuxian Yang, Xiaoqing Gong, Na Li, Yaqiong Guo, Yaoyu Feng, Lihua Xiao

“…Consistent with this, mice infected with the INS-20-deleted mutant had reduced intestinal damage and parasite burden.<h4>Conclusions/significance</h4>These results suggest that INS-19 and INS-20 have stage-specific expression with distinct biological functions, and that the presence of the INS-20 in zoonotic C. parvum contributes to its infectivity and fitness in mice.…”
