, , and humans have distinct transcriptomic responses to larval bites.

ticks are an important vector for at least seven tick-borne human pathogens, including a North American Lyme disease spirochete, . The ability for these ticks to survive in nature is credited, in part, to their ability to feed on a variety of hosts without triggering an immune response capable of preventing tick feeding. While the ability of nymphal ticks to feed on a variety of hosts has been well documented, the host-parasite interactions between larval and different vertebrate hosts are relatively unexplored.

Older People's Views of Participating in an Intergenerational Café With Student Nurses.

Introduction: Global ageing is increasing. Most older people live independently but at times require nursing care as they age. This care is provided in a variety of settings including acute, primary, community and residential care services.

Urticaria Voices: Real-World Experience of Patients Living with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria.

Introduction: The impact of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is well documented. However, considerable gaps remain in understanding the experience, perception and needs of patients with CSU. In this study, we investigate the perspective of patients with CSU about the disease journey, treatment and management of the condition as well as the physical and psychosocial impact of the disease.

Sexual identity, child maltreatment, mental health, and substance use among emerging adults aged 18 to 23 years.

Objectives: Although past studies have identified sex differences in child maltreatment experiences and poor mental and physical health‒related outcomes, more research is needed to understand child maltreatment among sexual minorities (i.e., those who identify as other than heterosexual) and how child maltreatment and sexual identity are related to depression, anxiety, and at-risk alcohol and cannabis use among emerging adults.
