  • Bacterial pathogens and associated toxins involved in erythrophore cell aggregation

    Creator:
    Hutchison, Janine R.
    Abstract:
    Current detection methods for bacterial contamination rely on structure based detection of proteins and nucleic acids. While these methods are easy to use and reliable, they cannot evaluate the toxicity of a sample and the potential to cause disease. Previously, erythrophore cells derived from Betta splendens had been suggested as...

  • Chromatophores as cell-based biosensors for the detection of chemically and biologically toxic substances

    Creator:
    Dukovcic, Stephanie R.
    Abstract:
    Cell-based biosensors are function-based detectors that use the physiological response of a living cell to sense biologically stimulating agents. This emerging technology extends the application of current detection methods by reporting on the toxicity of a sample and the potential to cause disease. Previously, Betta splendens erythrophores have been described...

  • Disease models and infectious phenotypes of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis

    Creator:
    Everman, Jamie L.
    Abstract:
    Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is the causative agent of Johne's disease, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects ruminant populations worldwide. The characteristic stages of the disease make diagnosis difficult, resulting in silent transmission among animals in a herd for years before proper detection of the infection. The extensive...
