Processing of chlamydia abortus polymorphic membrane protein 18D during the chlamydial developmental cycle [PDF]
<p>Background: Chlamydia possess a unique family of autotransporter proteins known as the Polymorphic membrane proteins (Pmps). While the total number of pmp genes varies between Chlamydia species, all encode a single pmpD gene.

Chlamydia psittaci infection in canaries heavily infested by Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]
Dermanyssus gallinae is a haematophagous ectoparasite responsible for anemia, weight loss, dermatitis and a decrease in egg production. Dermanyssus gallinae may play a role in the modulation of the host immune system, maybe predisposing the host to some ...

On the biology and epidemiology of the feral pigeon (Columba livia) [PDF]
Feral pigeons (Columba livia, Gmelin 1789) are among the most abundant vertebrates in the urban environment of almost every city in the world. Close contacts to humans bear the risk of transmission of zoonotic pathogens and parasites.

Supplement: Genomic divergence among Chlamydia psittaci strains
Intra-species genomic divergence among Chlamydia psittaci strains is associated with past host change and includes deletions in the plasticity zone, structural variations in immunogenic domains and distinct repertoires of Inc and Pmp family ...

Pathogen-host reorganization during Chlamydia invasion revealed by cryo-electron tomography [PDF]
Invasion of host cells is a key early event during bacterial infection, but the underlying pathogen-host interactions are yet to be fully visualised in three-dimensional detail.
