Expression of recombinant HBD3 protein that reduces Mycobacterial infection capacity

AMB Express, 2018
Bovine tuberculosis is a disease caused by Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) that leads to great economic losses in cattle production. The discovery of a reasonable bioagent to reduce M. bovis infection risk and environment contamination becomes significant

High prevalence of a host‐associated Anaplasma lineage in wild coatis (Nasua nasua) from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Anaplasma sp. DNA was detected in 47.9% of free‐ranging coatis (Nasua nasua) sampled in Iguaçu National Park, southern Brazil. Molecular analyses revealed a genetically distinct Anaplasma lineage infecting coatis, differing from Anaplasma strains detected in associated tick populations.

Comparative transcriptomic signatures of virulent and attenuated Mycobacterium bovis growing in vitro and in mice

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), caused by Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis), poses a significant global health and economic burden. Despite extensive research, a comprehensive understanding of M.

Interleukin 10 knock-down in bovine monocyte-derived macrophages has distinct effects during infection with two divergent strains of Mycobacterium bovis.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Mycobacterium bovis is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis (TB), a cattle disease of global importance. M. bovis infects bovine macrophages (Mø) and subverts the host cell response to generate a suitable niche for survival and replication.

Assessment of the efficacy of large volume delayed sampling primary culture and pathogen reduction in preventing septic reactions from platelet transfusions

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Many mitigation processes have been introduced to reduce septic transfusion reactions (STRs) caused by the transfusion of bacterially contaminated PLTs. Methods The efficacy of primary culture and pathogen reduction is assessed in this review using data from long‐term hemovigilance programs in the US, Canada, UK, France, Switzerland,

Bacterial screening of platelet donations in England, 2014–2023

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Bacterial contamination of blood components is an ongoing problem in transfusion medicine. We analysed the bacterial screening data of platelets from England, 2014–2023, and compared this with data on reported near‐misses and transfusion‐transmitted infections (TTIs). Materials and Methods Anonymized data on bacterial

The prevalence, distribution and severity of detectable pathological lesions in badgers naturally infected with Mycobacterium bovis

, 2008
The Randomized Badger Culling Trial (RBCT) began in 1998 to determine the impact of badger culling in controlling bovine tuberculosis in cattle. A total of 1166 badgers (14% of total)proactively culled during the RBCT were found to be tuberculous ...

Tracing Narratives of Responsibility for Addressing Aotearoa New Zealand's Myrtle Rust Incursion 2016–2021

New Zealand Geographer, Volume 82, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Using the 2017 myrtle rust (Austropuccinia psidii) incursion into Aotearoa New Zealand as a case study, we analysed media articles to examine how roles and responsibilities of actors are framed in the biosecurity system. We reveal a multi‐layered, evolving and uncertain biosecurity system.
