First Report of Toxoplasma gondii Infection in Tuberculosis Patients in China.
Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis
December 2017
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 924 TB patients, 13.2% tested positive for IgG antibodies to T. gondii, significantly higher than the 9.7% found in the control group, while IgM antibody levels were comparable between both groups.
- * The research identifies key risk factors for T. gondii infection in TB patients, including cat ownership, the presence of stray cats, and consuming raw or undercooked meat, suggesting that regular screenings for parasitic infections in TB patients are necessary.
Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic process that distinguishes parental alleles and results in specific expression of paternal and maternal genes. Imprints are acquired in the process of gametogenesis when genome-wide epigenetic reprogramming occurs and are maintained during early embryonic development. Therefore, the recognition and maintenance of imprints are very important in genome-wide reprogramming.

Emberiza jankowskii is an Endangered species, whose population quantity decreased year by year in the limited distribution areas. The complete mitochondrial genome of E. jankowskii (16,776 bp in length) consists of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes) and a non-coding region (D-loop), which is similar to the typical mtDNA of vertebrates.
