Bordetella species are distinguished by patterns of substantial gene loss and host adaptation.
Pathogens of the bacterial genus Bordetella cause respiratory disease in humans and animals. Although virulence and host specificity vary across the genus, the genetic determinants of this diversity remain unidentified. To identify genes that may underlie key phenotypic differences between these species and clarify their evolutionary relationships, we performed a comparative analysis of genome ...
متن کاملFimbriae and determination of host species specificity of Bordetella bronchiseptica.
A monoclonal antibody, designated CF8 and prepared against fimbrial protein enrichments of Bordetella bronchiseptica 110H, was determined by immunogold electron microscopy to bind to some but not all fimbrial filaments on intact bacterial cells. Comparison of the reactivity of this antibody with that of monoclonal antibody BPF2, which is specific for Bordetella pertussis serotype 2 fimbriae, in...
متن کاملP-77: HOST Patterns and Sperm Quality
Background: Following the expansion of human infertility, different procedures have been utilized for separation of normal sperm during ICSI (Intra cytoplasmic sperm injection). Hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOST) is one of the tests which have been introduced for assessment of integrity of sperm membrane when confronted with hypo osmotic condition. This test may also reflect intracellular organe...
متن کاملPhylogenetic patterns of species loss in Thoreau's woods are driven by climate change.
Climate change has led to major changes in the phenology (the timing of seasonal activities, such as flowering) of some species but not others. The extent to which flowering-time response to temperature is shared among closely related species might have important consequences for community-wide patterns of species loss under rapid climate change. Henry David Thoreau initiated a dataset of the C...
متن کاملHost Feeding Patterns of Anopheles Culicifacies Species
Countercurrent immunoelectrophoresis was used to assay bloodmeals to determine the hostspecificity of Anopheles culicifarics species-A and B, collected from areas in Delhi, Uttar piadesh and Bihar. Results indicated the-predominantly zoophagic nature of species A and B with " r.t"tiullv higher degree of anthropophagy for species A. Furth-er, the human blood index was found to be relatei to the ...
