    Insights

    Impetigo, a common human skin infection, was diagnosed in a red-tailed monkey. This bacterial skin condition, characterized by crusting lesions, has not been previously documented in nonhuman primates.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Dermatology
    • Primate Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Impetigo is a superficial bacterial epidermis infection, common in humans, caused by Streptococcus spp. or Staphylococcus spp.
    • Recurrent skin lesions, including crusting and ulceration, were observed in a 14-year-old red-tailed monkey (Cercopithecus ascanius) over an eight-year period.
    • The lesions were located under the nares, presenting a unique clinical manifestation in this nonhuman primate.

    Red Algae

    Red algae, also known as rhodophytes, are primarily found in marine environments, though some species inhabit freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. These organisms exist in both unicellular and multicellular forms, with some multicellular varieties reaching macroscopic sizes.As phototrophic organisms, red algae contain chlorophyll a; however, their chloroplasts lack chlorophyll b. Instead, they possess phycobiliproteins, which serve as major light-harvesting pigments, similar to those found in...

    Tail-anchoring of Proteins in the ER Membrane01:45

    Tail-anchoring of Proteins in the ER Membrane

    Tail-anchored, or TA, proteins are estimated to make up to 3-5% of membrane proteins found in the eukaryotic cell. Such proteins have a single transmembrane domain located approximately 30 amino acid residues upstream from the C-terminal end. As a result, the signal recognition particle (SRP) cannot guide a TA protein to the ER membrane for cotranslational insertion. Hence, they are integrated into the ER membrane post-translationally using their C-terminal end as the anchor. TA proteins...

    Correlation and Causation01:27

    Correlation and Causation

    Statistical tests can calculate whether there is a relationship, or correlation, between independent and dependent variables. An indirect relationship of the variables signifies a correlation, while a direct relationship shows causation. If it is determined that no connection exists between the variables, then the correlation is a coincidence.
    Correlation versus Causation
    If the dependent variable increases or decreases when the independent variable increases, there is a positive or negative...

    Photoreceptors and Plant Responses to Light

    Light plays a significant role in regulating the growth and development of plants. In addition to providing energy for photosynthesis, light provides other important cues to regulate a range of developmental and physiological responses in plants.

    Conservation of Small Populations02:04

    Conservation of Small Populations

    Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

    Light as Energy

    The energy required to carry out photosynthesis is light— typically electromagnetic radiation from the sun. The range of all possible wavelengths is known as the electromagnetic spectrum.
    Photons
    A photon is a discrete electromagnetic particle or bundle of energy. Photons are characterized by their frequency, wavelength, and amplitude, similar to the properties of a wave. Waves with higher frequencies transmit more energy and have shorter wavelengths than longer wavelengths that transmit...
