Expanded Gram-Negative Activity of Marinopyrrole A.

The rise of bacterial infections is a global health issue that calls for the development and availability of additional antimicrobial agents. Known for its in vitro effects on Gram-positive organisms, the drug-like small molecule marinopyrrole A was re-examined for the potential of broader efficacy against a wider array of microbes. We uncovered selective efficacy against an important subset of Gram-negative bacteria from three genera: , , and .

Reliability Generalization of the Triarchic Psychopathy Measure.

The extent to which psychopathy can be reliably assessed via self-report has been debated. One step in informing this debate is examining the internal consistency of self-report psychopathy measures, such as the Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (TriPM; Patrick, 2010). Reliability generalization (RG) studies apply a meta-analytic approach to examine the internal consistency of an instrument in a more robust manner by aggregating internal consistency statistics reported across the published literature.

Dermal secretion physiology and thermoregulation in the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum.

Ticks are hematophagous ectoparasites that transmit a wide range of pathogens. The lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum, is one of the most widely distributed ticks in the Midwest and Eastern United States. Lone star ticks, as other three-host ixodid ticks, can survive in harsh environments for extended periods without a blood meal.

REVIEW OF DNA VACCINE APPROACHES AGAINST THE PARASITE TOXOPLASMA GONDII.

Toxoplasma gondii is an apicomplexan parasite that affects both humans and livestock. Transmitted to humans through ingestion, it is the second-leading cause of foodborne illness-related death. Currently, there exists no approved vaccine for humans or most livestock against the parasite.
