Molecular Detection of Bartonella spp. in China and St. Kitts

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Bartonella are vector‐borne hemotropic bacteria that infect a wide variety of hosts, including people. While there are PCR assays that can identify individual or groups of Bartonella, there is no reliable molecular method to simultaneously detect all species while maintaining genus specificity and sensitivity.

In silico analysis of Pap31 from Bartonella bacilliformis and other Bartonella spp.

, 2020
Pap31 is an outer membrane protein of Bartonella bacilliformis which is considered to be a potential antigenic candidate for the development of diagnostic tools. The present study aimed to compare Pap31 from B. bacilliformis with that of other Bartonella

Dried blood spots for qPCR diagnosis of acute Bartonella bacilliformis infection. [PDF]

Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2013
Bartonella bacilliformis is the etiological agent of a life-threatening illness. Thin blood smear is the most common diagnostic method for acute infection in endemic areas of Peru but remains of limited value because of low sensitivity.

Semantic Modeling for Exposomics with Exploratory Evaluation in Clinical Context

Journal of Healthcare Engineering, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Exposome is a critical dimension in the precision medicine paradigm. Effective representation of exposomics knowledge is instrumental to melding nongenetic factors into data analytics for clinical research. There is still limited work in (1) modeling exposome entities and relations with proper integration to mainstream ontologies and (2) systematically

Highly Sensitive Loop‐Mediated Isothermal Amplification for the Detection of Leptospira

International Journal of Bacteriology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by an infection with the pathogenic species of Leptospira. We have developed a loop‐mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay to detect the DNA of Leptospira spp. Six sets of primers targeting the gene of the subsurface protein, lipL32, were evaluated for their detection sensitivity. The best primer set

Interplay of the Gastric Pathogen Helicobacter pylori with Toll‐Like Receptors

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are crucial for pathogen recognition and downstream signaling to induce effective immunity. The gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori is a paradigm of persistent bacterial infections and chronic inflammation in humans. The chronicity of inflammation during H.

Adhesion and host cell modulation: critical pathogenicity determinants of Bartonella henselae [PDF]

, 2011
Bartonella henselae, the agent of cat scratch disease and the vasculoproliferative disorders bacillary angiomatosis and peliosis hepatis, contains to date two groups of described pathogenicity factors: adhesins and type IV secretion systems.

A translocated effector required for bartonella dissemination from derma to blood safeguards migratory host cells from damage by co-translocated effectors [PDF]

, 2013
Numerous bacterial pathogens secrete multiple effectors to modulate host cellular functions. These effectors may interfere with each other to efficiently control the infection process.

Evaluation of Environmental Factors Influencing Cutaneous Leishmaniasis and Importance of a Newly Designed Sand Fly (Diptera: Psychodidae) Sticky Traps

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is endemic in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Province of Pakistan, and exploring its epidemiological status is critical for its control. The current study described the spatial occurrence of CL and its associated risk factors in KP.

An Overview of Pathogen Recognition Receptors for Innate Immunity in Dental Pulp

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) are a class of germ line‐encoded receptors that recognize pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). The activation of PRRs is crucial for the initiation of innate immunity, which plays a key role in first‐line defense until more specific adaptive immunity is developed.
