Francisella noatunensis subsp. orientalis (Fno) is an emerging bacterial pathogen that causes acute or chronic disease in tilapia (Oreochromis sp). Previous studies have established experimental models of Fno infection via ...

Pathogenic microorganisms confront several proteolytic events in the molecular interplay with their host, highlighting that proteolysis and its regulation play an important role during infection. Microbial inhibitors, along ...

An animal trial was conducted to measure the concentrations of ivermectin occurring in abomasal and small intestinal contents and mucosa, and in the target parasites (Ostertagia ostertagi and Cooperia oncophora) following ...

Non-human primates host a variety of gastrointestinal parasites that infect individuals through different transmission routes. Social contact among group members (e.g., body contact, grooming) brings the risk of parasite ...

Clostridioides difficile is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium that causes a severe intestinal infection. Spores of this pathogen enter in the human body through the oral route, interact with intestinal epithelial ...

Andes virus (ANDV) is the only hantavirus transmitted between humans through close contact. We detected the genome and proteins of ANDV in breast milk cells from an infected mother in Chile who transmitted the virus to her ...

Candida albicans is a commonly occurring member of the indigenous microflora of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The fungus may be acquired as a gut component at an early age, even by the foetus during its passage ...

Oral transmission of Chagas disease has been documented in Latin American countries. Nevertheless, significant studies on the pathophysiology of this form of infection are largely lacking. The few studies investigating ...
