TL;DR: The RLB is a versatile technique for simultaneous detection of all bovine tick-borne protozoan parasites and recommend its use for integrated epidemiological monitoring oftick-borne disease, since RLB can also be used for screening ticks and can easily be expanded to include additional hemoparasite species.

TL;DR: The novel H7N9 virus still preferred binding to α2-3- overα2-6-linked SIAs and was not able to efficiently bind to epithelial cells of human trachea in contrast to seasonal IAV, consistent with its limited human-to-human transmission.

TL;DR: Serum and mucus antibody levels of ES-specific immunoglobulins increased after immunizations and after challenge for IgG, IgA and IgE, and there was a positive correlation between fecundity and the cumulative EPG or worm burden.

TL;DR: Evidence of IgE active role in nematode immunity is provided and it is suggested that total serum IgE level might serve as an additional marker to select Nelore cattle that are responsive to H. placei and C. punctata infections.

TL;DR: Gene expression analysis in the abomasal tissue indicated that IL-4 and IL-13 (TH2 cytokines) were up-regulated in the resistant group, whereas TNF-alpha (TH1/TH2inflammatory cytokine) was up- regulated in the susceptible group.
