For infectious disease dynamical models to inform policy for containment of infectious diseases the models must be able to predict; however, it is well recognised that such prediction will never be perfect. Nevertheless, the consensus is that althoug... Read More about "Wrong, but useful": negotiating uncertainty in infectious disease modelling..

The role of transmembrane channel-like proteins in the operation of hair cell mechanotransducer channels (2013)

Sound stimuli elicit movement of the stereocilia that make up the hair bundle of cochlear hair cells, putting tension on the tip links connecting the stereocilia and thereby opening mechanotransducer (MT) channels. Tmc1 and Tmc2, two members of the t... Read More about The role of transmembrane channel-like proteins in the operation of hair cell mechanotransducer channels.

(2013). Draft Genome Sequence of a Meningitic Isolate of Cronobacter sakazakii Clonal Complex 4, Strain 8399. Genome Announcements, https://doi.org/10.1128/genomeA.00833-13

The Cronobacter sakazakii clonal lineage defined as clonal complex 4 (CC4), composed of nine sequence types, is associated with
severe cases of neonatal meningitis. To date, only closely related C. sakazakii sequence type 4 (ST4) strains have been s... Read More about Draft Genome Sequence of a Meningitic Isolate of Cronobacter sakazakii Clonal Complex 4, Strain 8399.

Trypanosoma brucei are extracellular kinetoplastid parasites transmitted by the blood-sucking tsetse fly. They are responsible for the fatal disease human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as sleeping sickness. In late-stage infection, trypan... Read More about Imaging African trypanosomes.

Background
The Cronobacter genus is composed of seven species, and can cause infections in all age groups. Of particular concern is C. sakazakii, as this species is strongly associated with severe and often fatal cases of necrotizing enterocolitis a...
