The ecology of parasite interactions within Chinook salmon

Creator:

Hurst, Charlene N.

Abstract:

The within-host interactions that can occur as a result of mixed infections in wildlife likely influence the outcome of an infection. We investigated the infection frequency and outcome as well as the potential mechanisms regulating mixed infections with two Ceratonova shasta genotypes within the Chinook salmon host. Previous research in...

Mycobacterium avium genes upregulated upon infection of Acanthamoeba castellanii demonstrate a common response to the intracellular environment

Creator:

Tennant, Rachel C.

Abstract:

Mycobacterium avium is a ubiquitous environmental organism found in both water and soil. It can cause disease in patients with previous pulmonary conditions, as well as immunosupressed patients, with the most prevalent being AIDS patients. Studies have indicated that passage through amoeba, a common environmental protozoa, increases virulence of M....

A molecular study of viral proteins in the pathogenesis of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus

Creator:

Chiou, Pinwen Peter

Abstract:

The role of viral proteins in the pathogenesis of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) was studied at the molecular level. The expression of the viral genes at the protein and RNA level, and their cellular localization, were characterized to further our understanding of viral pathogenesis. The pathogenic effect of individual...
