Publication number: 20180015155Abstract: Thrombostasin is an anti-clotting protein found in saliva of Haematobia irritans. Disclosed herein are studies testing blood uptake of horn flies feeding on cattle which confirm the association of ts genotype with blood uptake of horn flies. Blood uptake volumes of homozygous ts10 horn flies were lower than those of other ts genotypes when fed on control cattle. Cattle vaccinated with recombinant protein isoforms rTS9 or rTB8 resisted horn fly feeding by yielding lower blood volumes compared to flies feeding on control cattle. The impact of vaccination varied by ts genotype of flies. Cattle vaccinated with isoforms rTS9 resisted flies of ts2, ts9, and tb8 genotype. Vaccination with isoforms rTB8 produced resistance to ts8, ts9 and tb8 genotype flies. Horn flies of genotype ts10 were not affected with either TS isoforms and fed well on rTS9 and rTB9 vaccinated as on control-vaccinated cattle.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2017Publication date: January 18, 2018Inventors: Mary S. Cupp, Eddie W. Cupp, Christine Navarre, Dunhua Zhang, Latora W. Todd Jackson, Eugene Blair

Publication number: 20170318483Abstract: A self-recovery method and device after disconnection of a base station are described. The method includes: when a base station cannot connect with a network management system through a link, the base station detects a cumulative time length for link interruption; when the cumulative time length for link interruption exceeds a designated time length, the base station sends a request for acquiring an IP address to the network management system through an underlying communication protocol, the request carries a unique identification of the base station; the base station establishes an IP link with the network management system according to the IP address returned by the network management system; and the base station loads base station software and configuration data according to information acquired from the network management system.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2015Publication date: November 2, 2017Applicant: ZTE CORPORATIONInventor: Dunhua ZHANG

Patent number: 7211652Abstract: Compositions and methods for preventing hematophagous infestation of cattle are provided, directed at isolated proteins that disrupt platelet aggregation. Also provided are nucleotide sequences encoding the proteins. The exemplary haematollogen protein was isolated from the salivary glands of Haematobia irritans. The compositions are useful as veterinary vaccines in prevention of blood-feeding in cattle by the infesting horn fly and are also useful in treatment of thrombosis.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2004Date of Patent: May 1, 2007Assignee: Auburn UniversityInventors: Mary S. Cupp, Dunhua Zhang, Eddie W. Cupp
