Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and microbiota identified among flies and their sympatric animals

Kalalah, Anwar (2020-07-21) ETD File Embargoed

Antimicrobial resistance is rising globally at an alarming rate as one of the most serious public health challenges. There is increasing evidence that the environment plays a major role in the development and transmission ...

A Biodegradable Microparticle Vaccine Platform using Femtomole Peptide Antigen Doses to Elicit T-cell Immunity against Chlamydia abortus

Chowdhury, Erfan (2016-12-19)

Successful vaccination against Chlamydia spp. has remained elusive, largely due to a lack of vaccine platforms for the required Th1 immunization. Modeling of T helper cell immunity indicates that Th1 immunity requires ...

Comprehensive analysis of the impact of endemic Chlamydia pecorum infection in cattle

Poudel, Anil (2012-11-16)

Intracellular Chlamydia (C.) bacteria cause in cattle some acute but rare diseases such as abortion, sporadic bovine encephalomyelitis, kerato-conjunctivitis, pneumonia, enteritis and polyarthritis. More frequent, essentially ...

Diagnosis of feline infectious peritonitis

Juan, Yen-Chen (2018-02-27)

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a fatal immune-mediated disease, is caused by feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV), the high-virulence pathotype of Feline coronavirus (FCoV). It is believed that the FIPV is an ...

In silico Prediction and Experimental Confirmation of B-cell Epitopes for Molecular Serology of Chlamydia spp.

Rahman, Kh Shamsur (2016-03-25)

Urgently needed species-specific ELISAs for detection of antibodies against Chlamydia (C.) spp. have been elusive due to high cross-reactivity of chlamydial antigens. To identify Chlamydia species-specific B-cell epitopes, ...

Influence of Natural Chlamydia spp. Infection on the Health of the Ruminant Mammary Gland

Ahluwalia, Sudhir (2010-01-22)

Exposure to obligate intracellular Chlamydia abortus and C. pecorum bacteria is ubiquitous in ruminants worldwide, with high seroprevalence rates approaching 100% in some investigations. This study aimed to analyze the ...

Multivariate Analyses of Disease Outcomes of Chlamydial Infections in Cattle and Mice

Kim, Tea (2005-05-15)

In humans, Chlamydia pneumoniae infection is implicated in 10 ~ 15% of bronchitis and community-acquired pneumonia, and 50 ~ 70% of adults have antibodies to Chlamydia pneumoniae. In livestock animals, ubiquitous C. abortus ...

Multivariate Analysis of Chlamydia pneumoniae Lung Infection in Two Inbred Mouse Strains

Wang, Chengming (2005-12-15)

This investigation was aimed at dissecting the mechanisms of C. pneumoniae pathogenesis by multivariate analysis of challenge experiments in a mouse model of C. pneumoniae lung infection. To facilitate these analyses, a ...

Polymorphism in chicken immune response genes and resistance to disease

O'Neill, Ann (2007-12-15)

Genetic resistance to a number of viral pathogens has been linked to polymorphisms in genes of the immune system. Among these are the genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and those induced by the type I ...

Therapeutic Vaccines against Chlamydial Diseases

Li, Yihang (2008-12-15)

Subclinical infections with intracellular bacteria of the family Chlamydiaceae cause substantial losses in animal agriculture. To validate the feasibility of therapeutic vaccination against chlamydial infection and disease, ...
