Article Synopsis
- * The study focused on SBP3, a protein exported by the parasite, which plays a crucial role in the formation of surface protrusions on infected red blood cells that help the parasite adhere to blood vessel cells.
- * Knocking down SBP3 resulted in hindered parasite growth, fewer adhesion sites, and fewer protrusions, indicating its essential function for the parasite's survival and interaction with the host's cells.
Article Synopsis
- Canine distemper virus (CDV) causes a serious disease in dogs and wildlife, with notable genetic variation and previous vaccine failures highlighted in earlier studies.
- This research isolated CDVs from three unvaccinated dogs in Mongolia, confirming they had CD symptoms and died shortly after, thereby emphasizing the virus's impact in the region.
- Genome sequencing revealed two mixed-breed dogs carried a non-recombinant CDV isolate related to the Asia-1 lineage, while an 18-month-old Samoyed had a different isolate from the Asia-4 lineage, providing valuable data for future disease control and studies in Eurasia and Asia.

- * A study measured physical activity levels in 58 patients with cardiovascular disease using an activity meter, revealing that household activities were a major source of physical movement.
- * The study found relationships between step count, total physical activity, and age, work, and household chores, suggesting that household activities should be considered when assessing physical activity levels in these patients.
