This review discusses the role of β-alanine as a neurotransmitter. β-Alanine is structurally
intermediate between α-amino acid (glycine, glutamate) and γ-amino acid (GABA) …

Background Immigrants and refugees to the United States exhibit lower dietary quality than
the general population, but reasons for this disparity are poorly understood. In this study, we …

Existing theory on competition for hosts between pathogen strains has proposed that immune
selection can lead to the maintenance of strain structure consisting of discrete, weakly …

Immigrants and refugees to the United States exhibit relatively low levels of physical activity,
but reasons for this disparity are poorly understood. 16 gender and age-stratified focus …

OBJECTIVE: To explore the policies for, and implementation of, the community case

Panels of informative biallelic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been proposed
to be an economical method to fast-track the population genetic analysis of Plasmodium …

Immunity to Plasmodium falciparum is non-sterilising, thus individuals residing in malaria-endemic
areas are at risk of infection throughout their lifetime. Here we seek to find a genomic …

… , k-means dispersion 36 and Ripley’s K function 37 . Clustering on the basis of genomic data
was also applied to this end in microbiome communities 26 , although limitations of the null …

In their competition for hosts, parasites with antigens that are novel to the host immune
system will be at a competitive advantage. The resulting frequency-dependent selection can …

Understanding the epidemiology of asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infections is
critical for countries to move toward malaria elimination. Using different methods for parasite …
