The white-rot basidiomicete Trametes trogii (MYA 28-11) is an outstanding producer of
laccase. A Doehlert experimental design was applied to optimize its lignocellulolytic enzyme …

Munc13-1, a mammalian homologue of Caenorhabditis elegans unc-13p, is a presynaptic
phorbol ester receptor that enhances neurotransmitter release. In the present study we …

Type IV secretion systems (T4SS) are specialized protein complexes used by many bacterial
pathogens for the delivery of effector molecules that subvert varied host cellular processes. …

Several bacterial pathogens have TIR domain-containing proteins that contribute to their
pathogenesis. We identified a second TIR-containing protein in Brucella spp. that we have …

Like other influenza A viruses, equine influenza virus undergoes antigenic drift. It is therefore
essential that surveillance is carried out to ensure that recommended strains for inclusion in …

Animals continuously encounter microorganisms that are essential for health or cause disease.
They are thus challenged to control harmful microbes while allowing the acquisition of …

Recently it was shown that a specific form of male infertility in Holstein cattle was caused by
a nonsense variant in the α/β-hydrolase domain-containing 16B (ABHD16B) gene resulting …

The liver is frequently affected in patients with active brucellosis. In the present study, we
identified a virulence factor involved in the modulation of hepatic stellate cell function and …

Brucella spp. and Trypanosoma cruzi are two intracellular pathogens that have no evolutionary
common origins but share a similar lifestyle as they establish chronic infections for which …

The liver is frequently affected in patients with active brucellosis. The present study
demonstrates that Brucella abortus infection induces the activation of the autophagic pathway in …
