DID TRANSMISSION OF HELICOBACTER PYLORI FROM HUMANS CAUSE A DISEASE OUTBREAK IN A COLONY OF STRIPE-FACED DUNNARTS (SMINTHOPSIS MACROURA)?

Did transmission of Helicobacter pylori from humans cause a disease outbreak in a colony of Stripe-faced Dunnarts (Sminthopsis macroura)?

Abstract Since the discovery that Helicobacter pylori causes a range of pathologies in the stomachs of infected humans, it has become apparent that Helicobacters are found in a diverse range of animal species where they are frequently associated with disease.In 2003 and 2004, Airconditioner Remote Control there were two outbreaks of increased morta

Improvements induced by retinal gene therapy with voretigene neparvovec depend on visual cortical hemispheric dominance mechanisms

Abstract Background RPE65-associated retinal degeneration (RPE65-RD) causes severe visual Acessories deficits.Gene therapy with AAV2-hRPE65v2 is a breakthrough but it is currently unknown which visual pathways benefit from treatment and if cortical mechanisms can amplify retinal improvements.Methods In this within-subject design, ten patients with
