Escape of TLR5 Recognition by Leptospira spp.: A Rationale for Atypical Endoflagella (2020)
Journal Article
Holzapfel, M., Bonhomme, D., Cagliero, J., Vernel-Pauillac, F., Fanton d’Andon, M., Bortolussi, S., …Werts, C. (2020). Escape of TLR5 Recognition by Leptospira spp.: A Rationale for Atypical Endoflagella. Frontiers in Immunology, 11, https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2020.02007

Leptospira (L.) interrogans are invasive bacteria responsible for leptospirosis, a worldwide zoonosis. They possess two periplasmic endoflagellae that allow their motility. L. interrogans are stealth pathogens that escape the innate immune recognitio... Read More about Escape of TLR5 Recognition by Leptospira spp.: A Rationale for Atypical Endoflagella.

Analysis of Genetic Variation in the Bovine SLC11A1 Gene, Its Influence on the Expression of NRAMP1 and Potential Association With Resistance to Bovine Tuberculosis (2020)
Journal Article
Holder, A., Garty, R., Elder, C., Mesnard, P., Laquerbe, C., Bartens, M., …Werling, D. (2020). Analysis of Genetic Variation in the Bovine SLC11A1 Gene, Its Influence on the Expression of NRAMP1 and Potential Association With Resistance to Bovine Tuberculosis. Frontiers in Microbiology, 11, https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2020.01420

Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), caused by Mycobacterium bovis, is a chronic zoonotic disease where host genetics is thought to contribute to susceptibility or resistance. One of the genes implicated is the SLC11A1 gene, that encodes for the natural resist...

A Genome-Wide Association Study for Calving Interval in Holstein Dairy Cows Using Weighted Single-Step Genomic BLUP Approach. (2020)
Journal Article
Atashi, H., Salavati, M., De Koster, J., Crowe, M., Opsomer, G., Hostens, M., & Werling, D. (2020). A Genome-Wide Association Study for Calving Interval in Holstein Dairy Cows Using Weighted Single-Step Genomic BLUP Approach. Animals, 10(3),

The aim of the present study was to identify genomic region(s) associated with the length of the calving interval in primiparous (n = 6866) and multiparous (n = 5071) Holstein cows. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) solutions were estimated us...

Many members of the C-type lectin family of glycan-binding receptors have been ascribed roles in the recognition of microorganisms and serve as key receptors in the innate immune response to pathogens. Other mammalian receptors have become targets th... Read More about Mammalian lectin arrays for screening host-microbe interactions.
