Taming Parasites by Tailoring Them
The next-generation gene editing based on CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) has been successfully implemented in a wide range of organisms including some protozoan parasites. However, application of such a versatile game-changing technology in molecular parasitology remains fairly underexplored. Here, we briefly introduce state-of-the-art in human and mouse rese...
متن کاملDo natural disturbances or the forestry practices that follow them convert forests to early-successional communities?
Stand-replacing natural disturbances in mature forests are traditionally seen as events that cause forests to revert to early stages of succession and maintain species diversity. In some cases, however, such transitions could be an artifact of salvage logging and may increase biotic homogenization. We present initial (two-year) results of a study of the effects of tornado damage and the combine...
متن کاملDetection and tracking of chemical trails by local sensory systems
Abstract Many aquatic organisms exhibit remarkable abilities to detect and track chemical signals when foraging, mating and escaping. For example, the male copepod T. longicornis identifies the female in the open ocean by following its chemically-flavored trail. Here, we develop a mathematical framework in which a local sensory system is able to detect the local concentration field and adjust i...
متن کاملParasites That Attack Animals and Man
SOME of the parasites that occur in animals also attack people. Some have to develop in an animal or in two different animals before they can invade human beings. Man then is the definitive, or final, host. He usually acquires the parasites by eating the intermediate animal hosts or (if they are small insects) by swallowing them accidentally. For some parasites, human beings are the intermediat...
متن کاملDistributed Recommender Systems and the Network Topologies that Love Them
One approach to distributed recommender systems is to have users sample products at random and randomly query one another for the best item they have found. We have been considering refinements to this approach that take advantage of a communication network; users may share information only with their immediate neighbors, who either by design or by nature may have common interests. In the “mail...
