Summary Borna disease is an acute to subacute, rarely chronic non‐purulent meningoencephaylomyelitis affecting mainly horses and sheep. This case series describes the clinical signs, diagnosis, treatment, outcome and post‐mortem findings of five horses and two donkeys with this condition. The equids affected were geldings or mares of various breeds and

Identification of a CD4+ T cell-stimulating antigen of pathogenic bacteria by expression cloning. [PDF]
Identifying the immunogenic proteins that elicit pathogen-specific T cell responses is key to rational vaccine design. While several approaches have succeeded in identifying major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I bound peptides that stimulate CD8+

Efficacy of nisin A and nisin V semi-purified preparations alone and in combination with plant essential oils to control Listeria monocytogenes [PDF]
peer-reviewedThe foodborne pathogenic bacterium Listeria is known for relatively low morbidity and high mortality rates reaching up to 25-30%. Listeria is a hardy organism and its control in foods represents a significant challenge.

Cas9 beyond CRISPR – SUMOylation, effector‐like potential and pathogenic adaptation
This Viewpoint explores the possibility that Cas9, beyond its canonical role in CRISPR immunity, may act as a host‐modulating effector during infection by Cas9‐encoding bacteria. Such a nucleomodulin‐like function could be influenced by eukaryotic post‐translational modifications, particularly SUMOylation, with potential implications for host–pathogen ...

Detection of Listeria monocytogenes in Soft-Cheese and Sweet Yogurt Produced Locally in Baghdad
In order to investigate the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in soft cheese and sweet yogurt produced locally, this study was done by random collection of samples from different areas in Baghdad province and its surrounding from different animals (Cows

Cells rely on mitochondria and peroxisomes to trigger antiviral defenses via the protein MAVS. This manuscript demonstrates that the robust production of antiviral effectors resulting from MAVS activation at peroxisomes is faster than at mitochondria due to a swifter oligomerization of this protein at peroxisomal membranes. These results underscore the

ABSTRACT Background Meningoencephalitis causes significant morbidity and mortality in children worldwide. Prompt diagnosis remains challenging, yet advances in molecular diagnostic technology have improved diagnostic performance. This study examined whether the introduction of the BioFire FilmArray meningitis/encephalitis (ME) multiplex panel impacted ...

Cas9+ conditionally-immortalized macrophages as a tool for bacterial pathogenesis and beyond. [PDF]
Macrophages play critical roles in immunity, development, tissue repair, and cancer, but studies of their function have been hampered by poorly-differentiated tumor cell lines and genetically-intractable primary cells.

The SOS response of Listeria monocytogenes is involved in stress resistance and mutagenesis [PDF]
The SOS response is a conserved pathway that is activated under certain stress conditions and is regulated by the repressor LexA and the activator RecA.
