Retrospective epidemiological study of vesivirus prevalence and natural transmission in cattle and horses in the USA
Screening of cattle sera: distribution of vesiviruses in terrestrial domestic animals. To broaden the knowledge of vesivirus occurrence and distribution dynamics in domestic livestock, we attempted the first extensive study in cattle to assess the distribution of vesiviruses by examining the …

Lineage-level within-species dynamics in the human facial skin microbiome
… lineages and apply them to the observation of natural lineage-level assembly dynamics in the human facial skin microbiome. In Chapter 2, I use new methods to improve lineage-level clustering and delineate 4,055 genomes of C. acnes and S. epidermidis isolates from human facial skin into 167 …

Characterization of cyclic-di-GMP signaling with the Lyme spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi
… via needle inoculation, but wasrequired for natural transmission from ticks. This defect was linked to the decreased tick colonization efficiency upon pdeB deletion. Together, these analyses indicate that c-di-GMP signaling is an important virulence mechanism of Borrelia burgdorferi and …

Intersecting Threats: Exploring Obesity's Impact on Viral Pathogenesis and Transmission
… models reflecting the clinical outcomes and natural immune responses observed in humans are crucial to identifying reliable biomarkers. Using mouse hepatitis virus 1 (MHV-1) as a model for SARS-CoV-2, we established obesity as a risk factor and identified biomarkers and pathways associated …

In vivo transmission studies of "Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis" in the domestic cat
The natural transmission routes of the three feline hemotropic mycoplasmas, Mycoplasma haemofelis, ,Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum’, and ,Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis’ (CMt), are largely unknown. Since saliva of CMt-infected cats has been found to be PCR-positive, we hypothesized that …
