Viral Factors Influencing Early Infection Events During Ex-Vivo KSHV Infection
<p>The enigma of Kaposi Sarcoma Herpes Virus infection, and its persistence despite a quarter century of research on the virus, has given rise to an immediate need for addressing fundamental questions about basic immunology and virology knowledge regarding this virus. Kaposi Sarcoma Herpes Virus …

Regulation of HPV infection and cervical cancer development following a helminth infection
Soil-transmi,ed helminth (STH) infec7ons elicit systemic immune responses and have the ability to alter suscep7bility to other infec7ons in sites uncolonized by the STH. Recent work published by our group demonstrated that hookworm infec7on increased pathology in the female genital tract (FGT) …

Rhizobial infection in nodulation
… into two developmental programmes, rhizobial infection, and nodule organogenesis, both of which are required for nitrogen fixation. In my PhD studies, I focused on the study of rhizobial infection using the Medicago truncatula-Sinorhizobium meliloti model system. NIN is an important …

CONTRIBUTIONS OF PRENATAL INFECTION AND ANTIBIOTIC EXPOSURE TO OFFSPRING INFECTION AND ASTHMA RISK
… animal and human research implicates prenatal infection in the development of long-lasting disruptions in immune function of offspring, including an increased risk of infection and allergic disorders, such as asthma. Infection, specifically during early life, also has been repeatedly associated …

A wound infection monitoring system
Infection control is a key aspect of wound management strategies. An infected wound results in chemical imbalances in the wound and may lead to prolonged healing times and wound surface degradation. Wound dressings changes may result in damage to healing tissues and an increased risk of infection. …

A cystic fibrosis infection monitor
P. aeruginosa causes chronic infections in people with the inherited disorder, cystic fibrosis (CF). These chronic infections result in a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Once established, the infections are almost impossible to eradicate. Pulmonary exacerbations, thought to be caused by P. …

Human antibody-mediated immunity against infection and parasite fecundity in Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma haematobium infection
… immune responses that partially protect against infection and reduce fecundity in human schistosome infections. The relative contribution of exposure to infection and IgE antibody responses against schistosomes were explored using a mathematical modelling approach. Age intensity and serology …

Urinary tract infection and pre-eclampsia in pregnancy : incidence of urinary tract infection in pre-eclamptic
Some studies have found a positive association between UTI in pregnancy and the development of PET yet other studies have not found any such association. The objective is to determine the incidence of UTI in PET patients and thus determine if there is an assocition between UTI and PET.

Multiscale Modelling of Hepatic Viral Infection
The multiscale modelling of hepatic viral infection was introduced in this work and various approaches were carried out to contribute effectively to the control and eradication of viral hepatitis in sub-saharan Africa. A nested multiscale model was developed by applying the Replication-Transmission …
