Recent advances in non-specific immune memory against bovine tuberculosis
(Elsevier, 2021-04)Bovine tuberculosis is an important worldwide disease mainly related to cattle, although it also affects other mammals, including humans. In recent years, there have been considerable advances in the knowledge of the immune ... -
The heart microbiome of insectivorous bats from Central and South Eastern Europe
(Elsevier, 2021-04)Host associated microbiome not only may affect the individual health-status or provide insights into the species- or group specific bacterial communities but may act as early warning signs in the assessment of zoonotic ... -
Development of a lateral flow immunochromatography test for the rapid detection of bovine tuberculosis
(Elsevier, 2021-04)Detection of specific antibodies would be a useful test strategy for bovine tuberculosis (bTB) as a complement to the single skin test. We developed a lateral flow immunochromatography (LFIC) test for rapid bTB detection ... -
Geography as non-genetic modulation factor of chicken cecal microbiota
(Public Library of Science, 2021-01)The gastrointestinal tract of chickens harbors a highly diverse microbiota contributing not only to nutrition, but also to the physiological development of the gastrointestinal tract. Microbiota composition depends on many ... -
Role of PhoPR in the response to stress of Mycobacterium bovis
(Elsevier, 2021-02)PhoP is part of the two-component PhoPR system that regulates the expression of virulence genes of Mycobacteria. The goal of this work was to elucidate the role of PhoP in the mechanism that Mycobacterium bovis, the causative ... -
Argentinian potato leafroll virus P0 protein : Novel activities for a previously known suppressor
(Wiley, 2021-02)The potato leafroll virus (PLRV) P0 protein (P0PL) is a suppressor of RNA silencing. In this study, we showed that P0 protein from an Argentinian isolate of PLRV (P0PL‐Ar) has an additional activity not described for other ... -
Vineyard environments influence Malbec grapevine phenotypic traits and DNA methylation patterns in a clone‑dependent way
(Springer Verlag, 2021-01)Clonal selection and vegetative propagation determine low genetic variability in grapevine cultivars, although it is common to observe diverse phenotypes. Environmental signals may induce epigenetic changes altering gene ... -
Genetic diversity of Mycobacterium avium sp. Paratuberculosis by mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit–variable number tandem repeat and multi‑locus short‑sequence repeat one‑sentence summary : genetic diversity of Mycobacterium avium sp. Paratuberculosis isolates
(Wolters Kluwer Medknow, 2021-03)Background: Paratuberculosis is an enteric disease caused by Mycobacterium avium sp. paratuberculosis (MAP) that affects mainly ruminant producing losses to the livestock industry. Many molecular epidemiological methods ... -
FasR regulates fatty acid biosynthesis and is essential for virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10)Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiologic agent of human tuberculosis, is the world’s leading cause of death from an infectious disease. One of the main features of this pathogen is the complex and dynamic lipid composition ... -
Identification and characterization of a Babesia bigemina thrombospondin-related superfamily member, TRAP-1 : a novel antigen containing neutralizing epitopes involved in merozoite invasion
(BioMed Central, 2020-12)Background: Thrombospondin-related anonymous protein (TRAP) has been described as a potential vaccine candidate for several diseases caused by apicomplexan parasites. However, this protein and members of this family have ... -
Rv2577 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a virulence factor with dual phosphatase and phosphodiesterase functions
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10)Tuberculosis, a lung disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is one of the ten leading causes of death worldwide affecting mainly developing countries. Mtb can persist and survive inside infected cells through ... -
Virus infection elevates transcriptional activity of miR164a promoter in plants
(BioMed Central, 2009-12)Background: Micro RNAs (miRs) constitute a large group of endogenous small RNAs that have crucial roles in many important plant functions. Virus infection and transgenic expression of viral proteins alter accumulation and ... -
Overexpression of snakin-1 gene enhances resistance to Rhizoctonia solani and Erwinia carotovora in transgenic potato plants
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-05)Snakin‐1 (SN1), a cysteine‐rich peptide with broad‐spectrum antimicrobial activity in vitro, was evaluated for its ability to confer resistance to pathogens in transgenic potatoes. Genetic variants of this gene were cloned ... -
Isolation and characterization of the tissue and development-specific potato snakin-1 promoter inducible by temperature and wounding
(Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso, 2010-09)Snakin-1 (StSN1) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptide isolated from Solanum tuberosum. Homologous proteins have been identified in a wide range of species but there is no apparent consensus in the roles they play. A ... -
IL-12 DNA Displays efficient adjuvant effects improving immunogenicity of Ag85A in DNA prime/MVA boost immunizations
(Frontiers Media, 2020-09)Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) vaccine vector expressing the mycobacterial antigen 85A (MVA85A) was demonstrated to be safe, ... -
Molecular characterization of Mycobacterium bovis infection in cattle and buffalo in Amazon Region, Brazil
(Wiley, 2020-02)The aim of this study was to characterize Mycobacterium bovis from cattle and buffalo tissue samples, from two Brazilian states, and to analyse their genetic diversity by spoligotyping. Tissue samples from tuberculosis ... -
Transgenic citrange troyer rootstocks overexpressing antimicrobial potato snakin-1 show reduced citrus canker disease symptoms
