  • Structure of a transmission blocking antibody in complex with Outer surface protein A from the Lyme disease spirochete, Borreliella burgdorferi. (umassmed.edu)
  • Though bacterial exotoxins continue to be a mainstay of mAb targets, searches for protein targets on. (bacterial.org)
  • The discovery of new antibodies has improved our understanding of the pathology of the disease. (lww.com)
  • The landscape of optic neuritis (ON) is rapidly changing with the discovery of new antibodies, advent of latest investigations, and revised diagnostic criteria. (lww.com)
  • We have moved on to nanobody discovery for broadly neutralizing antibodies against all variants of concern and interest. (umassmed.edu)
  • The prevention of disease in commercial aviaries requires an understanding of how disease organisms are spread. (ufl.edu)
  • The common ways that disease organisms enter aviaries are by people, equipment, newly introduced birds, pests and stress. (ufl.edu)
  • Man may be directly infected with some disease organisms which also infect birds and shed these organisms to the birds. (ufl.edu)
  • Disease organisms may also be transmitted on contaminated equipment. (ufl.edu)
  • If cages or other equipment are borrowed from a neighboring aviary where birds are shedding disease organisms, the disease can be brought in on the contaminated equipment. (ufl.edu)
  • Remember, disease organisms can remain viable for variable periods or time outside the bird in the aviary. (ufl.edu)
  • The length of time disease organisms remain infectious outside the bird depends on inherent characteristics of the organism, ambient temperature, exposure to direct sunlight, and other factors. (ufl.edu)
  • Remember, a bird may appear healthy but still be infected with an shed disease organisms. (ufl.edu)
  • Pests can introduce disease organisms into an aviary by mechanical transmission or by being directly infected with and shedding the organisms. (ufl.edu)
  • Transmission of disease organisms through the air between aviaries even 50 feet apart is of little significance. (ufl.edu)
  • Based upon this one study we can't definitively say that a subset of rheumatoid illnesses have an infectious origin," Breitschwerdt says. (ncsu.edu)
