DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2019.02.006
Abstract: The myelin basic protein (MBP) gene is a complex gene which codes for several distinct forms of MBP. The various forms of MBP are functionally involved in the development of the nervous system, T-cell regulation,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jmammal/gyx012
Abstract: Microhabitat conditions affect foraging by small mammals. We investigated the effect of vegetation (vertical cover, coarse woody debris, size of trees) and illumination (cloud cover, lunar illumination) and their interactions on patch use and foraging… read more here.

Ticks, Ixodes scapularis, Feed Repeatedly on White-Footed Mice despite Strong Inflammatory Response: An Expanding Paradigm for Understanding Tick–Host Interactions
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Frontiers in Immunology"
DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2017.01784
Abstract: Ticks transmit infectious agents including bacteria, viruses and protozoa. However, their transmission may be compromised by host resistance to repeated tick feeding. Increasing host resistance to repeated tick bites is well known in laboratory animals,… read more here.

Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Microbiology"
DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.998365
Abstract: Outer surface protein C (OspC) is a commonly used marker in population studies of Borreliella to differentiate types and establish evolution over time. Investigating the ospC genetic types of Borreliella burgdorferi across multiple organ tissues… read more here.
