Peripheral blood lymphocytes (LL) from cows with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have been studied using a number of surface markers. Cell populations were obtained by partial enrichment and depletion using Sephadex G-200-anti-F(ab')2 and Sephadex G-200-anti-LL-Ig immunoadsorbent columns. It was shown that cell populations having different markers, i.e., surface immunoglobulins (sIg) and leukemia-associated antigens (LAA), are characterized by similar parameters. Thus the adherent cells obtained by both fractionation methods formed 1.1-4.0% of rosettes with sheep red blood cells, while 90.6-94.3% were sIg positive cells. The cytotoxicity test (CTT) performed with anti-B and anti-LL sera indicated that a vast majority of adherent cells reacted to the sera. Thus the adherent cells represent a population with a high percentage of B-cells.

Manglietia decidua is an extremely endangered species, known for its limited population and a narrow distribution range restricted to China (Yu 1994). In October 2021, a leaf disease affecting the foliage of 3-year-old M. decidua was observed at the nursery garden of the Yichun Forestry Institute of Jiangxi Province (27°55'52.

Ulceration of the melanoma primary is associated with more aggressive disease and is an independent prognostic factor for melanoma-specific survival. However, the underlying factors contributing to this more aggressive phenotype are not completely understood.

Genomic data on from the African continent are currently lacking, resulting in the region being under-represented in global analyses of infection (CDI) epidemiology. For the first time in Nigeria, we utilized whole-genome sequencing and phylogenetic tools to compare isolates from diarrhoeic human patients (=142), livestock (=38), poultry manure (=5) and dogs (=9) in the same geographic area (Makurdi, north-central Nigeria) and relate them to the global population. In addition, selected isolates were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility (=33) and characterized by PCR ribotyping (=53).

Compared to our closest primate relatives, human life history involves greater longevity, which includes a distinctive postmenopausal life stage. Given mammalian reproductive physiology in which females build a finite stock of cells that can become oocytes early in life, which then continuously deplete mostly through cell death while males produce new sperm throughout adulthood, the postmenopausal stage makes the sex ratio in the fertile pool, called the adult sex ratio (ASR), male biased. Additionally, this affects a more fine-grained ratio, the operational sex ratio (OSR), defined as the ratio of males to females currently able to conceive.
