(2009-05-15)From opportunistic protist Cryptosporidium parvum we identified and functionally assayed a fatty acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP) gene. The CpACBP1 gene encodes a protein of 268 aa that is three times larger than typical ...
-
(2021-03-02)Marek’s disease (MD) is a neoplastic disease of chickens caused by Marek’s disease virus (MDV), a member of the Alphaherpesviridae subfamily. Three MDV serotypes, including MDV-1, MDV-2 and HVT, have been identified and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Through a binding partner the CARD15 gene activates NF-kB, a molecule with a role in the initiation of the inflammatory immune response. The gene is highly conserved in both structure and function in human and mouse and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)The morphologic variability seen in the domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris, is unique among mammals. Selective pressures imposed by humans have divided dogs into almost 400 separate breeds. Selection has also led to the ...
-
(2009-05-15)The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, with over 450 naturally-occurring hereditary diseases, serves as a valuable model organism for study of the genetics underlying many human hereditary diseases. Approximately half of the ...
-
(2009-05-15)Previous research performed in 1999 by Harris et al. has shown that many varieties of ruminants serve as the host species for Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MparaTb) infections. Gene sequencing has supported ...
-
Genetic and Phylogenetic Studies of Toll-Like Receptor 5 (TLR5) in River Buffalo (Bubalus Bubalis) (2012-08-21)River buffalo are economically important to many countries and only recently has their genome been explored for the purpose of mapping genetic variation in traits of economic and biologic interest. The purpose of this ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), or prion diseases, are a group of inevitably fatal neurodegenerative diseases that occur in mammalian species. Ovine susceptibility to scrapie, the prototypical TSE, is ...
-
(2009-05-15)Since its domestication, the dog has served in many roles, from protector, guide, hunter, and best friend, to model organism. Every role in which the dog serves is important; however, this work highlights the importance ...
-
(2009-05-15)Although typically thought of as a beloved companion or indispensable aide, the domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) has emerged as an excellent model for the study of human hereditary diseases. Many hereditary diseases ...
-
(2009-05-15)The domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris, is a unique model system for the dissection of hereditary diseases. Selective breeding practices have created more than 300 distinct breeds of dogs, born from a desire to create ...
-
(2016-05-05)In testing the hypothesis that all jawed vertebrate classes employ immunoglobulin heavy chain V (IgHV) gene segments in their T cell receptor (TCR)δ encoding loci, we found that some basic characterization was required of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Heart-type Fatty Acid-Binding Protein (H-FABP) is required for high rates of skeletal muscle long chain fatty acid (LCFA) oxidation and esterification. Here we assessed whether H-FABP affects soleus muscle glucose uptake ...
-
(2017-07-31)Heterobilharzia americana is a waterborne trematode parasite (Family: Schistosomatidae) of dogs. More complete information regarding clinical, geographic, and diagnostic aspects of this parasite is needed to aid in more ...
-
(2021-01-14)Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) is a kinetoplasid protozoan parasite that infects both invertebrates and vertebrate hosts during its life cycle and is the causative agent for Chagas disease. Triatomine insects (kissing bugs) ...
-
(2009-05-15)The parallel gene expression profiles of Brucella melitensis and the host have not been elaborated. In this study, I analyze and discuss the transcriptional profiles of B. melitensis invasive-associated genes, the expression ...
-
(2009-05-15)Creation of a reliable and easy to use serologic test would greatly improve ante mortem diagnosis of Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium and aid in the control of avian mycobacteriosis, particularly in captive birds. In order ...
-
(2013-06-26)Separate domestication events and strong selective pressures have created diverse phenotypes among existing cattle populations; however, the genetic determinants underlying most phenotypes are currently unknown. Bos taurus ...
-
(2013-02-26)Despite being amongst the most common zoonotic diseases in the world, brucellosis is a neglected disease for which an approved vaccine for human use does not exist. Thus far, the traditional approaches to Brucella antigen ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The domestic dog, Canis lupus familiaris, plays many roles in the lives of humans. Additionally, the dog is recognized for its potential as a model for many human hereditary diseases. Thus, the genetics and genomics of the ...
