'One Health' infectious diseases surveillance in Tanzania: Are we all on board the same flight? (2012)
Journal Article
Mbugi, E. V., Kayunze, K. A., Katale, B. Z., Kendall, S., Good, L., Kibik, G. S., …Matee, M. I. (2012). 'One Health' infectious diseases surveillance in Tanzania: Are we all on board the same flight?. Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 79(2), E1-7. https://doi.org/10.4102/ojvr.v79i2.500

Infectious diseases account for nearly 40% of the burden of human mortality and morbidity in low-income countries, of which 7% is attributable to zoonoses and 13% to recently emerging diseases from animals. One of the strategic approaches for effecti... Read More about 'One Health' infectious diseases surveillance in Tanzania: Are we all on board the same flight?.

Yeast-surface expressed BVDV E2 protein induces a Th1/Th2 response in naïve T cells (2012)
Journal Article
Patterson, R., Nerren, J., Kogut, M., Court, P., Villarreal-Ramos, B., Seyfert, H. M., …Werling, D. (2012). Yeast-surface expressed BVDV E2 protein induces a Th1/Th2 response in naïve T cells. Developmental and Comparative Immunology, 37(1), 107-114. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dci.2011.10.009

Yeast species such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae are known to be potent activators of the immune system. S. cerevisiae activates the innate immune system by engaging pattern recognition receptors such as toll like receptor 2 (TLR2) and dectin-1. In the...

Proteomic analysis of Plasmodium in the mosquito: progress and pitfalls (2012)
Journal Article
Wass, M. N., Stanway, R., Blagborough, A. M., Lal, K., Prieto, J. H., Raine, D., …Sinden, R. E. (2012). Proteomic analysis of Plasmodium in the mosquito: progress and pitfalls. Parasitology, 139(9), 1131-1145. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0031182012000133

Here we discuss proteomic analyses of whole cell preparations of the mosquito stages of malaria parasite development (i.e. gametocytes, microgamete, ookinete, oocyst and sporozoite) of Plasmodium berghei. We also include critiques of the proteomes of... Read More about Proteomic analysis of Plasmodium in the mosquito: progress and pitfalls.
