“…A total of 150 participants were randomly assigned to 3 groups (50 participants each): (1) an ITT connected to a smartphone app providing real-time feedback and weekly dental professional reviews, (2) an ORT with smartphone-based guidance requiring participants to send weekly brushing records via screenshots, and (3) an MT with a brushing diary for review. Data collection occurred in clinical settings. Primary outcomes included plaque reduction measured using the Simple Hygiene Score (SHS), while secondary outcomes included plaque reduction measured using the Turesky modification of the Quigley-Hein plaque index (QHI), reductions in halitosis, and changes in oral microbiota. …”

The importance of the tortoise tick Hyalomma aegyptium as a carrier of bacterial agents on a wide range by Matej Kautman, Branka Bilbija, Markéta Nováková, Emil Tkadlec, Ivo Papoušek, Peter Mikulíček, David Jandzik, Hossein Javanbakht, Ghoulem Tiar, Pavel Široký

“…However, the frequencies of co-infected ticks do not indicate the presence of antagonistic or synergistic facilitative interactions between the agents. According to our data, we could expect that the eco-epidemiological importance of H. aegyptium does not stem from their tortoise hosts but rather from the low host specificity of its larvae and nymphs, feeding on a wider spectrum of reptilian, avian, and mammalian hosts.…”
