Unlabelled: During the COVID-19 pandemic, schools rapidly changed from in-class instruction to remote learning. Parent involvement and management of the home learning situation was greatly emphasized, and this presented challenges and opportunities for parents of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). There was an urgent need for effective parent support in the home learning situation, particularly for parents of youth with ADHD.

September 2021
The complete mitochondrial genome of (Eimeriidae, Coccidia, Apicomplexa) was obtained. This morphologically distinctive coccidium is considered to be the only valid species of equids and it infects a range of both domestic and wild horses and their relatives. Despite the distinctive appearance of the oocysts of , the mitochondrial genome organization and gene contents were comparable to other spp.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFDNA-based diagnostic assays for detecting infections with Eimeria species have been limited to providing identification and presence/absence data for samples containing oocysts. Modern technologies that generate quantitative data, such as droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), utilize a relatively short amplicon size containing sufficient species-specific variation for reliable species level identification. Targeting the cytochrome c oxidase subunit III gene in the mitochondrial genome, we established protocols using these technologies to determine the relative abundance of the number of copies/μL of Eimeria species in a sample.
