@James Well, I also work on ticks (which are arachnids). Nowhere near as much as on insects though (and I personally agree entirely with your point; just wanted to point out that it's a sensitive subject for some tick people). One of my undergrad lecturers got so frustrated she wrote this paper: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17040748

@arboviral The differences aren't even subtle. Thanks for clarifying that people in the field do see two very distinct fields of study. It's an important point to remember for for academic study in the respective fields! I'll certainly bring it up on meta if I see something similar. The question would be to either edit the entomology tag or establish the arachnology tag.

Good afternoon!

Would it be a stupid question to ask what "total antibodies" are?

I came across this expression. "Measurement of total antibodies" etc.

> Lateral flow card test for detecting Helicobacter pylori total antibodies in whole blood...

Does it mean "antibodies active against any protein produced by H. Pylori"?

> The I/M ratio of the cotton and wool groups showed insignificant changes (p > 0.05) at the 6th month of the study and a significant increase at the 12th month (p < 0.01).

Wool pants is the thing.

I am so gutted I don't have access to this PDF. Even SciHub just sends me to pubmed. Never mind proper research, this is why #OpenScience matters!
