SALIVARY GLAND PROTEOME ANALYSIS OF DEVELOPING ADULT FEMALE HAEMAPHYSALIS LONGICORNIS TICKS: MOLECULAR MOTOR AND TCA CYCLE-RELATED PROTEINS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE THROUGHOUT DEVELOPMENT

Abstract Background Ticks are notorious blood-feeding arthropods that can spread a variety of deadly diseases.The salivary gland is an important organ for ticks to feed on blood, and this organ begins to develop rapidly when ixodid ticks suck blood.When these ticks reach a critical weight, the salivary glands stop developing and begin to degenerate

Introduction/Background Mass-casualty incidents (MCIs) and disasters require an organised and effective response from medical first responders (MFRs).As such, novel training methods have emerged to prepare and adequately train MFRs for these challenging situations.Particular focus should be placed on extended reality (XR), which encompasses virtual

Background: Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness worldwide, and age-related cataracts are the result of environmental insults that largely lead to oxidative stress imposed on a genetic background that determines susceptibility to Dining Table these stresses.Methods: A comprehensive literature review was performed to identify GWAS, targeted
