Abstract:

Only 6 autochthonous cases of human Chagas disease have been documented in the U.S.A., however, as many as 5% of immigrants from Latin America may be infected with the etiologic agent, Trypanosoma cruzi. The parasite has been isolated from a variety of wild mammals, particularly in the southeastern region of the U.S.A. The goal of our study was to determine if the sylvatic cycle of T. cruzi infection occurs in Kentucky, and, if present, to assess the prevalence of infection in Warren and Barren counties. Raccoons and opossums were live-trapped between June and December, 2007. Animals were anes

Abstract:

Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas disease, infects a variety of wild mammals in the southern United States, but it has only recently been isolated from raccoons trapped in the state of Kentucky. The purpose of the present study was to use a molecular genotyping approach, followed by DNA sequencing to determine the genotypes (type I, or types IIa-IIe) of 15 of the Kentucky isolates. DNA samples were prepared from 15 T. cruzi- isolates using a Qiagen mini kit, and PCR amplification was performed using published primers for the 24S α rDNA sequence (D71 and D72), the non-transcribed

Abstract:

Bats and birds are known to be the reservoirs of a number of zoonotic diseases. The capacity of flight and the diversity of these animals may make them special in maintaining and disseminating diverse viruses leading to instances of emerging zoonoses. In particular bats are increasingly recognized to be reservoirs of a wide range of viruses, including Nipah, Ebola and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronaviruses. In most instances these viruses appear to establish long-term persistence in bats. In this thesis I report the identification of novel astroviruses from different in

Four commonly occurring genera of ticks in South Africa were tested for their capacity to acquire and transmit Borrelia burgdoiferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. Attempts were made to infect rabbits with a culture of B. burgdoiferi, and tick transmission experiments were carried out using the rabbits as the host of infection. Only one rabbit was successfully infected. Histological changes associated with a B. burgdoiferi infection were noted in this rabbit, but no spirochaetes were isolated. All other host animals failed to become infected with the B. burgdoiferi. As a consequence tran

Patients with CGD have an absent, or significantly reduced, neutrophil oxidative burst (NOB). XL-CGD carriers have a dual population of cells, those that function normally and produce an oxidative burst, and those that do not. XL-CGD carriers have been reported to have hi

Mitochondria are a key organelle within human cells, with functions ranging from ATP synthesis to apoptosis. Changes in mitochondrial function are associated with many diseases, as well as 'natural' processes like ageing. Mitochondria have a unique evolutionary origin, as the result of an endosymbiotic relationship between a bacterium and an archaeal cell. Therefore, the phylogenetic history of the mitochondrial proteome is also unique within the total human proteome.

Abstract:

Male premutation carriers (PM) presenting between 55-200 CGG repeats in the Fragile X-associated (FMR1) gene are at risk to develop Fragile X Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS), and females to undergo Premature Ovarian Failure (POF1). These pathologies are caused by toxic gain of function of the premutated FMR1 mRNA. Functional alterations of several gene expression regulators provide a detrimental mechanism underlying FMR1 PM–associated pathologies. In this thesis, we have characterized the transcriptome alterations associated to FMR1 premutation and further characterized the relevance of
