Toll-like receptors (TLR) are a family of pattern recognition receptors that sense microbial associated molecular patterns (MAMP) such as microbial membrane components and nucleic acids of bacterial origin. Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) are the...

Effects of Ex-Vivo and In-Vivo Treatment with Probiotics on the Inflammasome in Dogs with Chronic Enteropathy
Journal Article
Schmitz, S., Werling, D., & Allenspach, K. (in press). Effects of Ex-Vivo and In-Vivo Treatment with Probiotics on the Inflammasome in Dogs with Chronic Enteropathy. PLoS ONE, 10(3), e0120779. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0120779

Inflammasomes coordinate the maturation of IL-1β and IL-18 in response to danger signals. They are vital for maintenance of intestinal homeostasis and have been linked to chronic intestinal inflammation in humans. Probiotics have been advocated as tr...

The Phylogeography of Rabies in Grenada, West Indies, and Implications for Control
Journal Article
Zieger, U., Marston, D. A., Sharma, R., Chikweto, A., Tiwari, K., Sayyid, M., …Horton, D. L. (in press). The Phylogeography of Rabies in Grenada, West Indies, and Implications for Control. PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 8(10), e3251. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0003251

In Grenada, West Indies, rabies is endemic, and is thought to be maintained in a wildlife host, the small Indian mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus) with occasional spillover into other hosts. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to improve und... Read More about The Phylogeography of Rabies in Grenada, West Indies, and Implications for Control.

Lack of Genetic Diversity in Newly Sequenced Porcine Circovirus Type 1 Strains Isolated 20 Years Apart
Journal Article
Tombacz, K., Patterson, R., Grierson, S. S., & Werling, D. (in press). Lack of Genetic Diversity in Newly Sequenced Porcine Circovirus Type 1 Strains Isolated 20 Years Apart. Genome Announcements, 2(2), e00156-14. https://doi.org/10.1128/genomeA.00156-14

The complete genome sequences of a porcine circovirus type 1 (PCV1) strain isolated in 1990 and one isolated in 2011 were obtained and compared to the sequences of other available PCV1 isolates. Phylogenetic analyses revealed very low genetic diversi... Read More about Lack of Genetic Diversity in Newly Sequenced Porcine Circovirus Type 1 Strains Isolated 20 Years Apart.
