Compost and Legionella longbeachae : an emerging infection? [PDF]
, 2015 Human disease caused by Legionella species is dominated by Legionella pneumophila, the main causative agent in cases of Legionnaires’ disease. However, other species are known to cause infection, for example, Legionella longbeachae causes an equivalent ...

Guinea pigs sublethally infected with aerosolized Legionella pneumophila develop humoral and cell-mediated immune responses and are protected against lethal aerosol challenge. A model for studying host defense against lung infections caused by intracellular pathogens. [PDF]
, 1987 We have employed the guinea pig model of L. pneumophila infection, which mimics Legionnaires' disease in humans both clinically and pathologically, to study humoral and cell-mediated immune responses to L.

Trauma and affect in a Holocaust survivor's story: Rosita Fanto's novel Rozalia Alone
Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.Abstract My article endeavors to redress the neglect of Rosita Fanto's Rozalia Alone (2010), which deals with a page of history that is less known worldwide, the Holocaust in Romania. Using a trauma studies perspective that mixes with affect theory, the article demonstrates that Rozalia Alone covers in a nutshell the whole magnitude of the late 1930s ...

Characterization of avirulent mutant Legionella pneumophila that survive but do not multiply within human monocytes. [PDF]
, 1987 Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, is a Gram-negative bacterium and a facultative intracellular parasite that multiplies in human monocytes and alveolar macrophages. In this paper, mutants of L.

Balancing Building Water Conservation and Microbial Water Quality
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Flow restrictors are widely used to improve water efficiency by limiting flow rates in faucets and showerheads. While these devices contribute to significant reductions in water consumption and associated energy costs, they may also pose unintended risks to microbial water quality. In healthcare and other high‐risk settings, reduced flow rates
