Experimental infection of the rabbit tick, Haemaphysalis leporispalustris, with the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii, and comparative biology of infected and uninfected tick lineages.

The current examine consisted of two experiments that evaluated experimental infections of Haemaphysalis leporispalustris ticks by a Brazilian pressure of Rickettsia rickettsii, and their impact on tick biology. In experiment I, ticks have been uncovered to R. rickettsii throughout the…

Experimental short-term fetal bladder outflow obstruction: I. Morphology and cell biology associated with urinary flow impairment.

In fetal sheep, mixed urethral and urachal obstruction initiated at 75 days’ gestation and maintained for 30 days led to dysmorphic bladders, just like these present in people with prune stomach syndrome, and uniformly disrupted kidney growth. We aimed to…
