Re-annotation of the <em>Theileria parva</em> genome refines 53% of the proteome and uncovers essential components of N-glycosylation, a conserved... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The apicomplexan parasite Theileria parva causes a livestock disease called East coast fever (ECF), with millions of animals at risk in sub-Saharan East and Southern Africa, the geographic
Health and economic burden of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease and the cost-effectiveness of potential interventions against RSV among... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) frequently causes acute lower respiratory infection in children under 5, representing a high burden in Gavi-eligible countries (mostly low-income and lowe
Total synthesis and antitrypanosomal activity of janadolide and simplified analogues (Publications)
Janadolide is a cyclic depsipeptide natural product isolated from the marine cyanobacterium Okeania sp. Herein, we describe the total synthesis of janadolide, along with eight simplified analogues, vi
Germline Elongator mutations in Sonic Hedgehog medulloblastoma (Publications)
Cancer genomics has revealed many genes and core molecular processes that contribute to human malignancies, but the genetic and molecular bases of many rare cancers remains unclear. Genetic predisposi
<em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> in schoolchildren in a Madagascan highland school assessed by PCR and sedimentation microscopy and Bayesian estimation of... (Publications)
Madagascar is an endemic area for schistosomiasis, but recent prevalence data are scarce. We investigated stool samples of 410 children aged 4-18 years from a combined primary and secondary school in
Rapid identification of <em>Fusobacterium nucleatum</em> and <em>Fusobacterium necrophorum</em> by fluorescence in situ hybridization (Publications)
Identification of clinically relevant Fusobacterium spp. is hampered by their slow growth, their frequent occurrence in polymicrobial culture, and the low reliability of biochemical differentiation me
Multiple infections of rodents with zoonotic pathogens in Austria (Publications)
Rodents are important reservoirs for a large number of zoonotic pathogens. We examined the occurrence of 11 viral, bacterial, and parasitic agents in rodent populations in Austria, including three dif
Prevalence and genetic characterization of <em>Anaplasma marginale</em> in zebu cattle (<em>Bos indicus</em>) and their ticks (<em>Amblyomma... (Publications)
Tick-borne bovine anaplasmosis, caused by the obligate intracellular pathogen Anaplasma marginale (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae), is a major constraint to cattle production in tropical and subtropic
Rapid identification of beta-hemolytic streptococci by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) (Publications)
Rapid identification of pathogenic, beta-hemolytic streptococci is important for treatment decisions. We evaluated fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for this purpose using 23 reference strains
