Identification of intracellular trafficking signals contained within the vaccinia virus F13L protein

Creator:: Honeychurch, Kady M.
Abstract:: The F13L protein is the major envelope antigen of vaccinia virus, the prototypic member of the Orthopoxvirus genus. F13L is 372 residues in length and is essential for the formation of wrapped forms of virus. F13L contains a number of potential functional domains including a palmitylation site, a phospholipase domain...

Structure-function analysis of the vaccinia virus I7L proteinase

Creator:: Moerdyk, Megan J.
Abstract:: Vaccinia virus is the prototypic member of the Orthopoxvirus genus. It undergoes a complex replication process where a key step in the transition from immature virion to intracellular mature virion is the cleavage of the major core protein precursors. The product of the I7L open reading frame (ORF) is a...

Rift Valley fever in African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) : basic epidemiology and the role of bovine tuberculosis coinfection

Creator:: Beechler, Brianna
Abstract:: Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic viral disease native to the African continent. Outbreaks tend to occur in the wet seasons, and can affect numerous mammalian species including African buffalo. It is debated how the virus survives the inter-epidemic period when it is not detected in mammalian populations,...

Characterizing Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis (MAH) Microaggregate Induction of Innate Immunity

Creator:: Keefe, Bailey F.
Abstract:: Bacterial aggregation is a strategy employed by many pathogens to establish infection. Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) undergoes a phenotypic change, microaggregation, when exposed to the respiratory epithelium. This aggregation is an important step in the pathogenesis of the infection, laying the foundation for biofilm formation. We therefore compared how...

Investigating Vibrio parahaemolyticus interactions with the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas

Creator:: Aagesen, Alisha M.
Abstract:: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative, halophilic, human pathogenic bacterium ubiquitous in the marine environment. Like many Vibrio species, V. parahaemolyticus commonly associates with shellfish, particularly oysters. Ingestion of a raw or under cooked oysters contaminated with V. parahaemolyticus can cause gastroenteritis, which is typically self-limiting and rarely causes death. Globally,...

Wildlife Health in Managed Forests : Immunity and Infectious Diseases in Wild Rodents of Oregon

Creator:: Hanselmann, Rhea
Abstract:: With continual and worldwide human population growth, our impact on the natural environment expands and intensifies every day. We consume natural resources, burn fossil fuels, and release toxic compounds into the air, water, and earth. We build roads that fragment the landscape, construct new settlements, and develop agricultural lands in...

Identification of Viruses Associated with Raspberry Leaf Curl Disease

Creator:: Guzman Martinez, Melinda
Abstract:: Raspberries are an important commodity worldwide, with the United States (U.S.) leading fourth in global production in 2017. An important factor when shipping propagated Rubus across the globe is the security of clean plant material verified through pathogen detection methods which is vital in preventing disease spread. A raspberry virus...

The conserved biology of herpesvirus latency : a study in cyprinid herpesvirus 3

Creator:: Reed, Aimee N.
Abstract:: Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3), commonly known as koi herpesvirus (KHV), is a member of the Alloherpesviridae and is a deadly pathogen for koi and common carp, Cyprinus carpio. It causes severe gill necrosis and nephritis, dermal ulceration and hemorrhage, and mass mortality of up to 100% of affected fish. Fish...

Molecular and genetic assessment of selected antiporters and methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins in Vibrio cholerae

Creator:: Quinn, Matthew J.
Abstract:: The pathogen Vibrio cholerae uses cations as a primary currency of virulence and environmental persistence, using gradients of those cations to move, acquire nutrients, and control virulence gene expression. An understanding of the overlapping roles of bioenergetics and chemotaxis in the virulence and environmental survival of V. cholerae issues from...

Effects of Feeding OmniGen-AF® on Superovulatory Response in Donor Beef Cows

Creator:: Snider, Alexandria P.
Abstract:: One assisted reproductive tool used to propagate highly desirable genetics from elite sire and dam matings is embryo transfer. Superovulation is the first part of the overall protocol and it is a required yet costly and biologically stressful procedure in cattle embryo transfer. The process of superovulation results in high...
