"" is the most common staurozoan on the west coast of the United States and Canada. This species was described in the M.S. Thesis by Gellermann (1926) and although that name has been in use nearly continuously since that time, no published description exists. Furthermore, the most popular operative name for this species has varied between several related species names over time, resulting in confusion. Herein, we provide a detailed description and synonymy of n. sp., whose distribution is verified from Unalaska Island in the Aleutians (53.4° N, 166.8° W) in the northwest, to Santa Barbara County, California, just north of Point Conception (34.5° N, 120.5° W), in the south. n. sp. is compared with the twelve other described species of and illustrations of both macroscopic and microscopic anatomy are provided. n. sp. is unique among species of in the arrangement of the bright-white nematocyst spots in its calyx and the pattern of dark stripes running the length of the stalk and up the outside of the calyx.

Upregulation of haematopoetic cell kinase (Hck) activity by a secreted parasite effector protein (Ta9) drives proliferation of Theileria annulata-transformed leukocytes.

Reversible transformation of bovine leukocytes by the intracellular parasites Theileria annulata and Theileria parva is central to pathogenesis of the diseases they cause, tropical theileriosis and East Coast Fever, respectively. Parasite-dependent constitutive activation of major host transcription factors such as AP-1 (Activating Protein 1) and NF-κB (Nuclear Factor-Kappa B) sustains the transformed state. Although parasite interaction with host cell signaling pathways upstream of AP-1 have been studied, the precise contribution of Theileria encoded factors capable of modulating AP-1 transcriptional activity, and other infection-altered signaling pathways is not fully understood.

Background: Most states require pharmacists to successfully pass the Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (MPJE) required by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) to obtain licensure as a pharmacist, though pass rates for the MPJE have declined in recent years. Meanwhile, NABP is pursing efforts to standardize the exam with the emergent Uniform Pharmacy Jurisprudence Examination (UPJE).
Objective: This study aimed to describe the current thinking of pharmacy law educators across the US on the UPJE.
An Improved Sporozoite Seroneutralization Assay for the Identification of East Coast Fever Immune Correlates.
Antibodies (Basel)
December 2024
Animal and Human Health Program, International Livestock Research Institute, Nairobi P.O. Box 30709, Kenya.
Background: Immune correlates of protection are ideal tools to predict treatment or vaccine efficacy. However, the accuracy of the immune correlate and the capability to robustly predict the outcome of a vaccine candidate are determined by the performance of the in vitro immunoassay used. Several sporozoite seroneutralization assays have previously been used to assess antibody functional activities; however, a common limitation has been the need for fresh material, target cells and sporozoites, and operator-to-operator bias.
