TL;DR: This tool was used to characterize ecologic differentiation of Triatoma brasiliensis populations, the most important Chagas' disease vector in northeastern Brazil, and confirmed four ecologically distinct and differentiated populations.

TL;DR: Eco-cultural niche modeling is applied to identify habitable portions of the European territory for Upper Paleolithic hunter-gatherers during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), circumscribe potential geographic extents of the Solutrean and Epigravettian technocomplexes, evaluate environmental and adaptive factors that influenced their distributions, and discuss this method's potential to illuminate past human-environment interaction.

TL;DR: Evaluated the potential geographic extent under present and future conditions using ecological niche modeling approach based on museum records available for this species at the Walter Reed Biosystematics Unit indicated that lone star ticks are currently likely to be present in broader regions across the Eastern Seaboard as well as in the Upper Midwest.

TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-analyses of the determinants of infectious disease in eight operation theatres of the immune system and shows clear patterns of infection that are consistent with the presence of E.coli.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a variety of animals can be infected with OPXVs, and that epidemiology studies and educational campaigns should focus on animals that people are regularly contacting, including larger rodents used as protein sources.
