Understanding Ephemeral Fever/Three-Day Sickness in Cattle and Water Buffalo
Ephemeral fever (Three-Day Sickness) is an acute arthropod-borne viral disease affecting cattle and water buffalo. It is caused by the Bovine Ephemeral Fever Virus and manifests with biphasic fever, decreased milk yield, and other clinical signs. The disease has varying prevalence and can lead to hi

Life Cycle and Morphology of Blood and Tissue Flagellates in Parasitology
Blood and tissue flagellates, such as Leishmania and Trypanosoma, have complex life cycles involving vertebrate and arthropod hosts. They go through various stages with distinct morphological features like promastigote, epimastigote, trypomastigote, and amastigote. Leishmania mainly infects mammals

Understanding Bovine Ephemeral Fever: Key Information and Insights
Bovine Ephemeral Fever, also known as Three-Day Sickness or Three-Day Fever, is an economically important arboviral disease affecting cattle and water buffalo in tropical and semitropical regions. It is caused by an arthropod-borne rhabdovirus and primarily transmitted by mosquitoes and biting midge

Immune Responses to Parasitic Infections and Evasive Strategies by Protozoan and Helminth Parasites
Parasitic infections pose complex challenges to the immune system due to the diverse nature of parasites, including protozoans and helminths. Protozoan parasites move between arthropod vectors and mammalian hosts, requiring both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. Meanwhile, helminths, as mu

Arthropod Biomimicry: Designing Protective Body Armor for Post-Apocalyptic Survival
In a scenario where groups are preparing for the end of the world, the concept of arthropod biomimicry is employed to design protective body armor for humans inspired by the exoskeletons of arthropods. The armor is required to ensure safety, attractiveness, and mimic other arthropod adaptations apar
