Article Synopsis
  • The poultry red mite (PRM) poses a significant threat to the poultry industry due to its blood-feeding habits and role as a vector for pathogens.
  • The study successfully established a stable PRM laboratory colony, allowing for consistent research on mite behavior and drug discovery amidst growing acaricidal resistance.
  • Growth data showed that PRM population increased significantly over 28 days, demonstrating effective maintenance conditions for future studies on pest control strategies.

Tick saliva modulates host responses during a blood feeding process. We identified a novel chemokine binding protein 1-like (HLCBP1-like) gene from the salivary glands of the Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis. The HLCBP1-like protein, lacking a well-defined conserved domain, showed structural similarity to evasin, a chemokine binding protein from the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus.

The association between visceral fat area (VFA) and locomotive syndrome (LS) has been extensively studied in the older population; however, the association between VFA and early-stage LS (stage 1 [LS1]) remains unclear. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated this association across different age groups. The study involved 1,236 (524 male and 712 female) participants (aged 20-85 years).
