Background
Species of Cronobacter are widespread in the environment and are occasional food-borne pathogens associated with serious neonatal diseases, including bacteraemia, meningitis, and necrotising enterocolitis. The genus is composed of seven s... Read More about Comparative Analysis of Genome Sequences Covering the Seven Cronobacter Species.

Neuronal Toll-like receptor 4 signaling induces brain endothelial activation and neutrophil transmigration in vitro. (2012)
Journal Article
Maysami, S., Bowie, A., Denes, A., Nilsson, O., Leow-Dyke, S., Allen, C., …Pinteaux, E. (2012). Neuronal Toll-like receptor 4 signaling induces brain endothelial activation and neutrophil transmigration in vitro. Journal of Neuroinflammation, 230 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1742-2094-9-230

BACKGROUND: The innate immune response in the brain is initiated by pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPS) or danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPS) produced in response to central nervous system (CNS) infection or injury. These molecul... Read More about Neuronal Toll-like receptor 4 signaling induces brain endothelial activation and neutrophil transmigration in vitro..

Analysis of gene expression from the Wolbachia genome of a filarial nematode supports both metabolic and defensive roles within the symbiosis. (2012)

The a-proteobacterium Wolbachia is probably the most prevalent, vertically transmitted symbiont on Earth. In contrast with its wide distribution in arthropods, Wolbachia is restricted to one family of animal-parasitic nematodes, the Onchocercidae. Th...

Evidence for genetic differentiation at the microgeographic scale in Phlebotomus papatasi populations from Sudan. (2012)
Journal Article
(2012). Evidence for genetic differentiation at the microgeographic scale in Phlebotomus papatasi populations from Sudan. Parasites and Vectors, 249 -?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1756-3305-5-249

BACKGROUND: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is endemic in Sudan. It is caused by Leishmania major parasites and transmitted by Phlebotomus papatasi sandflies. Recently, uncommon clinical manifestations of CL have been reported. Moreover, L. donovani par...
