Protective Role of <i>HLA-DRB1*13</i>:<i>02</i> against Microscopic Polyangiitis and MPO-ANCA-Positive Vasculitides in a Japanese Population: A Case-Control Study by Aya Kawasaki (518768)

“…<div><p>Among antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and proteinase 3-ANCA-positive AAV (PR3-AAV) are prevalent in European populations, while microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and myeloperoxidase-ANCA-positive AAV (MPO-AAV) are predominant in the Japanese. We previously demonstrated association of <i>DRB1*09</i>:<i>01-DQB1*03</i>:<i>03</i> haplotype, a haplotype common in East Asians but rare in the European populations, with MPA/MPO-AAV, suggesting that a population difference in <i>HLA-class II</i> plays a role in the epidemiology of this disease. …”

A Systems Toxicology Approach to Elucidate the Mechanisms Involved in RDX Species-Specific Sensitivity by Christopher M. Warner (2064109)

A first estimate of the structure and density of the populations of pet cats and dogs across Great Britain by James Aegerter (3921485)

“…In the event of an animal health crisis, it appears that almost all dogs could be brought under control rapidly. For cats, a substantial and unknown number might never be bought under control and would be less likely to receive veterinary support to facilitate surveillance and disease management; we estimate this to be at least 1.5 million cats. …”
