Giardia Cathepsins and Their Role in Intestinal Disease
… including humans, closely associates with intestinal epithelial cells. The pathophysiology of giardiasis includes intestinal barrier dysfunction and cytoskeletal injury; however, the mechanisms or parasitic factors involved remain unclear. The Giardia genome contains genes for …

CD4+ T cell response against food antigens in intestinal disease
… leading to food intolerances, allergies, celiac disease, or mucosal inflammation in patients with IBD. The adaptive immune system, in particular antigen-specific CD4+ T cells, are thought to play a key role in this process, but the exact mechanisms leading to the development and maintenance, as …

The development, implementation and evaluation of a real-time PCR-based diagnostic service for viral causes of infectious intestinal disease
Outbreaks and sporadic cases of viral Infectious Intestinal Disease (IID) are a major public health issue resulting in significant morbidity and sometimes mortality each year. The economic costs associated are substantial. Laboratory diagnosis of viral IID is important as the many infectious and …

Comparative imaging of surgical small intestinal disease in dogs: evaluation of pre-operative contrast-enhanced ultrasound, intra-operative contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and triple-phase contrast-enhanced computed tomography
Surgical small intestinal diseases occur commonly in canine patients seen in veterinary practices. Failure to identify ischemic tissue intra-operatively can result in surgical dehiscence, require surgical revision, and lead to sepsis or death. Currently contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) is …

Novel insights into the inflammatory basis of gastrointestinal disease
… strong, the health of the host is damaged and disease can occur. The implication of intestinal disease caused by an ineffective immune response is of great social and economic burden to society. The overarching purpose of this thesis is to assess inflammatory signalling targets associated with …

Development of Novel Methods to Study Host-Microbe Interactions In The Larval Zebrafish Gastrointestinal Tract
… pose significant challenges to the study of intestinal physiology and pathology. Zebrafish larvae, possessing optical transparency and genetic tractability, offer an accessible and clinically relevant model for investigating dynamic events in the intestine via time-lapse imaging. In the first …
