A Cross-Sectional Serological Study to Assess the Prevalence and Risk Factors of Anaplasmosis in Dromedary Camels in Punjab, Pakistan.

Anaplasmosis is an infectious disease transmitted by ticks and caused by obligate intracellular pathogen of belonging to genus Infections of one-humped camels () and llamas () have been reported previously. The aim of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence and risk factors of anti- spp. antibodies in of the Punjab, Pakistan.

Corticotropin-releasing factor-like diuretic hormone 44 and five corresponding GPCRs in Drosophila suzukii: Structural and functional characterization.

Diuretic hormones (DHs) activate corresponding G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), mediating the water and ion homeostasis in arthropods. There are two different DHs known to be expressed in insects, calcitonin (CT)-like DH31 and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF)-like DH44. In this study, we identified and characterized a DH44 and five GPCR variants, DH44-R1 and DH44-R2a/b/c/d, in Drosophila suzukii (spotted-wing drosophila), causing detrimental damage to fresh and soft-skinned fruits.

Missed Insights for Earlier Management of Parkinson's Disease and the Value of Dopamine Transporter (DAT) Scans.

This retrospective study focused on the role of Dopamine Transporter (DAT) scans in diagnosing Parkinson's Disease (PD) in older adults with cognitive impairment (CI). We retrospectively analyzed brain imaging of 6483 individuals aged 60 and above with CI. Among these, 297 underwent a DAT scan, with 189 testing positive and 89 starting dopamine therapy.

Income inequality-renewable energy demand nexus in emerging Asian economies: does asymmetry matter?

Several efforts have been made to explore the income inequality influence on environmental degradation, but the query regarding the nexus of income inequality and renewable energy consumption (REC) is still unanswered. This vacuum in existing literature has raised the need to inspect the relationship between income inequality and REC. Thus, this study purposes to investigate the asymmetric effect of income inequality on REC for emerging Asian economies over the period 1990-2019 by adopting the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) approach.
