Recent advances in Brucella abortus vaccines
(2015-07-08)Brucella abortus vaccines play a central role in bovine brucellosis control/eradication programs and have been successfully used worldwide for decades. Strain 19 and RB51 are the approved B. abortus vaccines strains most ... -
Regulation of Cytoskeleton Organization by Sphingosine in a Mouse Cell Model of Progressive Ovarian Cancer
(MDPI, 2013-07-16)Ovarian cancer is a multigenic disease and molecular events driving ovarian cancer progression are not well established. We have previously reported the dysregulation of the cytoskeleton during ovarian cancer progression ... -
Regulation of IL-17 in autoimmune diseases by transcriptional factors and microRNAs
(Frontiers, 2015-07-14)In recent years, IL-17A (IL-17), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, has received intense attention of researchers and clinicians alike with documented effects in inflammation and autoimmune diseases. IL-17 mobilizes, recruits ... -
Regulatory T Cells in Arterivirus and Coronavirus Infections: Do They Protect Against Disease or Enhance it?
(MDPI, 2012-05-01)Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a subset of T cells that are responsible for maintaining peripheral immune tolerance and homeostasis. The hallmark of Tregs is the expression of the forkhead box P3 ... -
Restricted Enzooticity of Hepatitis E Virus Genotypes 1 to 4 in the United States
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011-10-12)Hepatitis E is recognized as a zoonosis, and swine are known reservoirs, but how broadly enzootic its causative agent, hepatitis E virus (HEV), is remains controversial. To determine the prevalence of HEV infection in ... -
Retinal-input-induced epigenetic dynamics in the developing mouse dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus
(2019-02-14)Abstract DNA methylation plays important roles in the regulation of nervous system development and in cellular responses to environmental stimuli such as light-derived signals. Despite great efforts in ... -
Retinoic Acid, Leaky Gut, and Autoimmune Diseases
(MDPI, 2018-08-03)A leaky gut has been observed in a number of autoimmune diseases including type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Previous studies from our laboratory have shown ... -
Rho-Associated Kinase Inhibitor (Y-27632) Attenuates Doxorubicin-Induced Apoptosis of Human Cardiac Stem Cells
(PLoS One, 2015-12-08)Background Recent clinical trials using c-kit+ human cardiac stem cells (CSCs) demonstrated promising results in increasing cardiac function and improving quality of life. However, CSC efficiency is low, likely due to ... -
Rice Bran and Probiotics Alter the Porcine Large Intestine and Serum Metabolomes for Protection against Human Rotavirus Diarrhea
(Frontiers, 2017-04-21)Human rotavirus (HRV) is a leading cause of severe childhood diarrhea, and there is limited vaccine efficacy in the developing world. Neonatal gnotobiotic pigs consuming a prophylactic synbiotic combination of probiotics ... -
Rice bran supplementation modulates growth, microbiota and metabolome in weaning infants: a clinical trial in Nicaragua and Mali
(Springer Nature, 2019-09-26)Rice bran supplementation provides nutrients, prebiotics and phytochemicals that enhance gut immunity, reduce enteric pathogens and diarrhea, and warrants attention for improvement of environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) ... -
Risk factors associated with exposure to bovine respiratory disease pathogens during the peri-weaning period in dairy bull calves
(2018-02-27)Abstract Background Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) remains among the leading causes of death of cattle internationally. The objective of this study was to identify risk ... -
Role of Lactobacillus reuteri in Human Health and Diseases
(Frontiers, 2018-04-19)Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) is a well-studied probiotic bacterium that can colonize a large number of mammals. In humans, L. reuteri is found in different body sites, including the gastrointestinal tract, urinary ... -
Safety and Immunogenicity of a Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae bacterin for domestic sheep (Ovis aries).
(2014)BACKGROUND: Mortality from epizootic pneumonia is hindering re-establishment of bighorn sheep populations in western North America. Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae, a primary agent of this disease, is frequently carried ... -
Sarcocystis campestris from naturally infected 13-lined ground squirrels, Spermophilus tridecemlineatus tridecemlineatus, from Nebraska
(American Society of Parasitology, 2000-10)Grossly visible sarcocysts were seen in the skeletal muscles of 1 of 12 13-lined ground squirrels, Spermophilus tridecemlineatus tridecemlineatus, collected in Nebraska. The tissue cyst wall was up to 5.0 mum thick and ... -
Sarcocystis neurona (Protozoa : Apicomplexa): Description of oocysts, sporocysts, sporozoites, excystation, and early development
(American Society of Parasitology, 2004-06)Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis is a major cause of neurological disease in horses from the Americas. Horses are considered accidental intermediate hosts. The structure of sporocysts of the causative agent, Sarcocystis ... -
Sarcocystis neurona infections in sea otter (Enhydra lutris): Evidence for natural infections with sarcocysts and transmission of infection to opossums (Didelphis virginiana)
(American Society of Parasitology, 2001-12)Although Sarcocystis neurona has been identified in an array of terrestrial vertebrates, recent recognition of its capacity to infect marine mammals was unexpected. Here, sarcocysts from 2 naturally infected sea otters ... -
Sarcocysts of an unidentified species of Sarcocystis in the sea otter (Enhydra lutris)
(American Society of Parasitology, 2003-04)The number of Sarcocystis species that infect sea otters (Enhydra lutris) is unknown. Sea otter tissues were recently shown to harbor sarcocysts of S. neurona and of unidentified species of Sarcocystis. Whereas sarcocysts ...
