Label details: ’Forty Mile Bush, North Island, New Zealand (H. Suter). Purch/ W.E. Collinge’. Type locality: ‘ Forty Mile Bush, North Island, New Zealand’ (Collinge 1894: 527). Previous illustrations of type material: Collinge (1894: text figs. 1, 3, 5). Remarks: The type material of this species was collected and sent to the British Museum by Henry Suter (Collinge 1894; Suter 1897a). Current Taxonomy: Treated as a junior synonym of Limax bitentaculatus Quoy & Gaimard, 1832 by Suter (1897a: 247, 1909c: 322, 1913b: 792), Burton (1963: 51) and Powell (1979: 298), albeit without examination of type material (see Barker 2018: 228).Published as part of Brook, Fred J. & Ablett, Jonathan D., 2019, Type material of land snails (Mollusca: Gastropoda) described from New Zealand by taxonomists in Europe and North America between 1830 and 1934, and the history of research on the New Zealand land snail fauna from 1824 to 1917, pp. 1-117 in Zootaxa 4697 (1) on pages 23-24, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4697.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/354283

A novel protective prion protein variant that colocalizes with kuru exposure.
No full textBACKGROUND: Kuru is a devastating epidemic prion disease that affected a highly restricted geographic area of the Papua New Guinea highlands; at its peak, it predominantly affected adult women and children of both sexes. Its incidence has steadily declined since the cessation of its route of transmission, endocannibalism. METHODS: We performed genetic and selected clinical and genealogic assessments of more than 3000 persons from Eastern Highland populations, including 709 who participated in cannibalistic mortuary feasts, 152 of whom subsequently died of kuru. RESULTS: Persons who were exposed to kuru and survived the epidemic in Papua New Guinea are predominantly heterozygotes at the known resistance factor at codon 129 of the prion protein gene (PRNP). We now report a novel PRNP variant--G127V--that was found exclusively in people who lived in the region in which kuru was prevalent and that was present in half of the otherwise susceptible women from the region of highest exposure who were homozygous for methionine at PRNP codon 129. Although this allele is common in the area with the highest incidence of kuru, it is not found in patients with kuru and in unexposed population groups worldwide. Genealogic analysis reveals a significantly lower incidence of kuru in pedigrees that harbor the protective allele than in geographically matched control families. CONCLUSIONS: The 127V polymorphism is an acquired prion disease resistance factor selected during the kuru epidemic, rather than a pathogenic mutation that could have triggered the kuru epidemic. Variants at codons 127 and 129 of PRNP demonstrate the population genetic response to an epidemic of prion disease and represent a powerful episode of recent selection in humans

The neuropsychology of variant CJD: a comparative study with inherited and sporadic forms of prion disease
No full textObjective: To assess cognitive function in variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). We describe the neuropsychological profiles of 10 cases and compare these data with cross sectional data obtained from patients with histologically confirmed sporadic CJD and cases with inherited prion disease with confirmed mutations in the prion protein gene.
Methods: Patients referred to the Specialist Cognitive Disorders Clinic at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery and the National Prion Clinic at St Mary’s Hospital, London for further investigation of suspected CJD were recruited into the study. The neuropsychological test battery evaluated general intelligence, visual and verbal memory, nominal skills, literacy skills, visual perception and visuospatial functions, and visuospatial and executive function.
Results: The results indicate that moderate to severe cognitive decline is a characteristic feature of vCJD. Specifically, verbal and visual memory impairments and executive dysfunction were pervasive in all disease groups. Nominal skills were impaired in variant and sporadic CJD, significantly so when compared with the inherited prion disease group. Perceptual impairment was less frequent in the vCJD group than in the sporadic and inherited groups.
Conclusion: This study confirms the occurrence of generalised cognitive decline in patients with vCJD. Although decline in cognitive function ultimately affects all domains, there is a suggestion that some components of visual perception may be spared in vCJD. The results also suggest that nominal function may be preserved in some cases with inherited prion disease
Metric analysis of ungulate mammals from the early Middle Pleistocene of Britain, in relation to taxonomy and biostratigraphy. II: Cervidae, Equidae and Suidae
No full textThe taxonomy and biostratigraphic significance of horses (Equus), deer (Capreolus, Dama, Cervus,
Cervalces, Praemegaceros, Megaloceros) and pigs (Sus) from key British early Middle Pleistocene sites are
investigated using a biometric approach. The sites compared are West Runton (type Cromerian), Pakefield,
Little Oakley, Westbury-sub-Mendip, and Boxgrove. The samples include a significant amount of
previously undescribed material. Stenonid horses dominate at Pakefield and West Runton, caballines at
Westbury and Boxgrove, corresponding to the Mimomys/Arvicola division. The deer of Boxgrove include
relatively large roe and small red deer, the latter distinguishing it from the Westbury Pink Breccia. The
poorly-known giant deer Praemegaceros dawkinsi spans both the Mimomys (Little Oakley, Pakefield) and
Arvicola (Boxgrove) zones of the Cromerian Complex. There is a marked shift in cervid abundance from
predominant megacerines (Mimomys zone) to predominant red deer (Arvicola zone)
