Lyme disease is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi and it is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States. Disseminated spirochetes can persist in various tissues and can result in a variety of different disease manifestations. Vaccination trials testing various lipoprotein candidates have yielded mixed results despite the generation of robust antibody titers. Data presented in this report demonstrate that a combination vaccine composed of DbpA, BBK32 and OspC is more effective than single or double component formulations and that the ratio of each component dramatically impacts vaccine efficacy when tested in protection experiments against Borrelia following needle inoculation.

Pre-school-based behaviour change intervention to increase physical activity levels amongst young children: a feasibility cluster randomised controlled trial.
Front Public Health

Centre for Public Health, School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences, Queen's University Belfast, Belfast, United Kingdom.
Background: A significant rise in childhood obesity worldwide over the past three decades highlights the urgent need for early interventions, especially in preschools as key settings for child development. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and fidelity of a randomised controlled trial of "I'm an Active Hero" (IAAH), a theory- and evidence-based multi-component behaviour change intervention targeting physical activity and sedentary behaviour amongst preschool-aged children.
Methods: Two preschools in Taif city, Saudi Arabia were randomly assigned to either the intervention ( = 3 classrooms) or the usual curriculum control group ( = 3 classrooms).
Insights into the dissolution and the three-dimensional structure of insensitive munitions formulations.

Two compounds, 2,4-dinitroanisole (DNAN) and 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO) are the main ingredients in a suite of explosive formulations that are being, or soon will be, fielded at military training ranges. We aim to understand the dissolution characteristics of DNAN and NTO and three insensitive muntions (IM) formulations that contain them. This information is needed to accurately predict the environmental fate of IM constituents, some of which may be toxic to people and the environment.

Ixodes scapularis ticks transmit the Lyme disease agent in the United States. Although strong antitick immunity mediates tick rejection by certain vertebrates, only a few Ags have been molecularly characterized. We show that guinea pig vaccination against a secreted tick salivary immunomodulator, sialostatin L2, can lead to decreased feeding ability of I.
