Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) with high solution, sensitivity and specificity, is widely used to study the population genetic structure of pathogen by amplification and sequencing of the housekeeping genes. MLST also provides more evidence and plays an important role in parasite research. This paper reviews the principle and method of MLST, and its application on population genetic structure analysis of parasites.

Dementia patients often received one clinical diagnosis, yet most of these cases present multiple underlying pathologies. Bringing the transition from clinical-based to biological-based diagnosis holds promise with the diagnostic criteria proposed by the Alzheimer's Association (AA) Revised Criteria for Diagnosis and Staging of Alzheimer's Disease and the Neuronal Synuclein Disease Integrated Staging System (NSD-ISS). This session aims to explore the practical implications of the AA revised criteria for diagnosing and designing clinical trials in Lewy body disease (LBD).

Background: Some types of cancer have been associated with reduced risk of clinical dementia diagnosis. Whether cancer history may be associated with neuropathological features of neurodegeneration or cerebrovascular disease is not well understood. We investigated the relation between cancer diagnosis and brain pathology in a sample of community-based research volunteers enrolled in an Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) cohort.

Background: Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), have been long thought to be independent of the peripheral immune system, but their pathogenesis status is functionally influenced by various T cell subsets in the periphery. Especially Treg cells are emerging as an important dynamic population in the brain, but the detailed immunological molecular and cellular processes are poorly characterized METHOD: We reported that the cell surface protein Lrig1 is enriched in Treg cells and is an essential regulator of the functions of Treg cells in vitro and in vivo. To evaluate the functional importance of Treg cells in AD pathogenesis, the modulating mAb specific to Lrig1 (GTC 310-01) via intravenous injection route was administered into 5xFAD or 6xTg mice, the genetic mouse model of AD, and the various AD symptoms were investigated.

University College London, London, United Kingdom.
Background: Our authors from around the world met to summarise the available knowledge, decide which potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia have compelling evidence and create the most comprehensive analysis to date for potentially modifiable risk factors to inform policy, give individuals the opportunity to control their risks and generate research.
Method: We incorporated all risk factors for which we judged there was strong enough evidence. We used the largest recent worldwide meta-analyses for risk factor prevalence and relative risk and if not available the best data.

Background: Genetic testing for individuals with dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease (DIAD) is now of greater relevance due to the existence of therapeutic trials available to this population. However, the impact and main drivers influencing the decision to seek genetic testing are relatively unknown in Latin America (LatAm). Here we present results from a regional genetic counseling and testing protocol implemented in LatAm.
