PLATELETS ARE CRITICAL FOR SURVIVAL AND TISSUE INTEGRITY DURING MURINE PULMONARY ASPERGILLUS FUMIGATUS INFECTION.

Platelets are critical for survival and tissue integrity during murine pulmonary Aspergillus fumigatus infection.

Beyond their canonical roles in hemostasis and thrombosis, platelets function in the innate immune response by interacting directly with pathogens and by regulating the recruitment and activation of immune effector cells.Thrombocytopenia often coincides with neutropenia in patients with hematologic malignancies and in allogeneic hematopoietic cell

Evolution of the Piscine orthoreovirus Genome Linked to Emergence of Heart and Skeletal Muscle Inflammation in Farmed Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)

Heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) was first diagnosed in Norway in 1999.The disease is caused by Piscine orthoreovirus-1 (PRV-1).The virus is prevalent in farmed Atlantic salmon, but not always associated grandpas best with disease.Phylogeny and sequence analyses of 31 PRV-1 genomes collected over
