Turfgrass management includes many different components and without proper management turfgrass aesthetics will diminish.In addition, mismanagement of turfgrass systems could lead to negative environmental impacts.This situation creates the need for Extension agents to deliver turfgrass management educational and outreach programs to the various st
Nanoscale Phenotypic Textures of Yersinia pestis Across Environmentally-Relevant Matrices
The persistence of gun bacterial pathogens within environmental matrices plays an important role in the epidemiology of diseases, as well as impacts biosurveillance strategies.However, the adaptation potentials, mechanisms for survival, and ecological interactions of pathogenic bacteria such as Yersinia pestis are largely uncharacterized owing to t
Alteration of blood-brain barrier integrity by retroviral infection.
The blood-brain barrier (BBB), which forms the knife tray interface between the blood and the cerebral parenchyma, has been shown to be disrupted during retroviral-associated neuromyelopathies.Human T Lymphotropic Virus (HTLV-1) Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP) is a slowly progressive neurodegenerative disease associated
