(2009-05-15)Brucella melitensis is the etiological agent of brucellosis, a zoonotic disease characterized by abortions in ruminant animals and a chronic debilitating disease in humans. Despite genome sequencing, little is known about ...
-
(2018-08-22)In vitro studies suggest that fatty acid bind protein 1 (Fabp1) and sterol carrier protein 2/sterol carrier protein x (Scp2/Scpx) gene products facilitate the uptake, metabolism and detoxification of dietary phytol in ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Natural diseases caused by keratin mutations are rare and have only been reported in humans. We have recently identified a heritable skin disorder in Norfolk terriers caused by a mutation in KRT10. Affected dogs have a ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)An infectious cDNA clone of Vero cell adapted Beaudette strain of IBV was constructed using in vitro assembly of cDNA fragments. The entire genome of IBV was RT-PCR amplified into seven fragments, with each piece overlapping ...
-
(2018-05-17)Haemogregarines are a group of blood sporozoans that parasitize reptiles, most commonly turtles, or tortoises. Haemogregarine-like inclusions in the red blood cells of a severely underweight alligator snapping turtle ...
-
(2009-05-15)Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP), caused by Mycoplasma mycoides mycoides small colony (MmmSC), is a devastating respiratory disease of cattle in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Little investigation has been done ...
-
(2013-08-01)Mupirocin is a bacteriostatic antibiotic that is used to decolonize people who carry methicillin-resistant staphylococci, primarily methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Mupirocin reversibly binds to bacterial ...
-
(2009-05-15)An epidemiological study of the bacteria Tropheryma whipplei was conducted in the Brazos Valley region of Texas; specifically in the cities of College Station and Bryan. DNA samples from the oral cavities of study participants ...
-
(2009-05-15)Surgical embryo transfer in rodents is a common procedure in today’s research laboratory, although little is known of the effect analgesics may have on not only the recipient female but also the embryos. Two perioperative ...
-
Influence of Surface Protein V6 Region of Equine Infectious Anemia Virus on Cytokine Gene Expression (2014-08-14)Equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) is a member of the lentivirus group of the family Retroviridae. EIAV encodes a highly glycosylated SU (surface) protein with interspersed conserved and variable regions. The variable ...
-
(2009-05-15)Coxiella burnetii is an intracellular pathogen that can cause both acute and chronic disease (Q fever) in humans and infects many animals with varying clinical illness and persistence. A guinea pig aerosol-challenge model ...
-
(2009-05-15)Blood was obtained from 5 adult horses and 16 juvenile horses (foals) at the time of birth and subsequently at 2-, 4-, and 8-weeks of age. Neutrophils from adult horses were purified and incubated for 2 h and 4 h with ...
-
(2012-07-16)The Psittacidae is one of the most endangered families of birds in the world. Knowledge of its nutrition is important for understanding their survival and productivity in the wild, as well as for their adequate husbandry ...
-
(2009-05-15)Rotavirus (RV) nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4) is a multifunctional glycoprotein that induces secretory diarrhea in mouse pups in the absence of other viral proteins. The intracellular transport route(s) and functional ...
-
(2020-07-20)B. melitensis is considered the most virulent of the Brucella species, and a need exists for an improved laboratory animal model of infection that mimics natural transmission and disease. Previous research has shown that ...
-
(2015-12-07)The Miniature Schnauzer has been anecdotally reported to have a hereditary predisposition to the development of pancreatitis. The aims of this study were to establish a true breed predisposition for the disease and to ...
-
(2022-01-06)The gene aac(6’)-Iy is a cryptic aminoglycoside acetyltransferase (AAC) that is present in almost all Salmonella species and subspecies. Despite its ubiquitous presence in Salmonella, it does not confer Salmonella with ...
-
(2018-08-08)Parrot bornaviruses are the etiological agents of proventricular dilatation disease (PDD), a fatal neurologic and gastrointestinal disease in birds. The virus is non-cytopathic, and the clinical presentation associated ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)This study reports the localization and partial characterization of thioredoxin from the parasitic trematode Fasciola hepatica. Snails (Pseudosuccinia columella) were raised in culture and infected with F. hepatica so that ...
-
