    • Brucella canis is an intracellular pathogen that induces a lower proinflammatory response than smooth zoonotic counterparts 

      Guzman-Verri, Caterina; Chacón-Díaz, Carlos; Altamirano-Silva, Pamela; González-Espinoza, Gabriela; Medina, María-Concepción; Alfaro-Alarcón, Alejandro; Bouza-Mora, Laura; Jiménez-Rojas, César; Wong, Melissa; BARQUERO-CALVO, ELIAS; Rojas, Norman; Moreno, Edgardo; Chaves-Olarte, Esteban (Infection and Immunity, 2015-09-29)
      Canine brucellosis caused by Brucella canis is a disease of dogs and a zoonotic risk. B. canis harbors most of the virulence determinants defined for the genus, but its pathogenic strategy remains unclear since it has not ...

    • Canine brucellosis in Costa Rica reveals widespread Brucella canis infection and the recent introduction of foreign strains 

      Foster, Jeffrey; Guzman-Verri, Caterina; Suárez Esquivel, Marcela; Ruiz Villalobos, Nazareth; Hidalgo Jara, Warren; Chacon Díaz, Carlos; Zúniga Pereira, Ana Mariel; Masís Mora, Mario; Fernández Fernández, Ericka; Hernández Mora, Gabriela; BARQUERO-CALVO, ELIAS; Chaves Olarte, Esteban; Thomson, Nicholas R.; Moreno, Edgardo (Elsevier, 2021-04-16)
      Brucellosis is a prevalent disease in Costa Rica (CR), with an increasing number of human infections. Close to half of homes in CR have one or more dogs, corresponding to ∼1.4 million canines, most of them in the Central ...

    • Genetic and phenotypic characterization of the etiological agent of canine orchiepididymitis smooth Brucella sp. BCCN84.3 

      Guzman-Verri, Caterina; Suárez-Esquivel, Marcela; Ruíz-Villalobos, Nazareth; Zygmunt, Michel S.; Gonnet, Mathieu; Campos, Elena; Víquez-Ruiz, Eunice; Chacón-Díaz, Carlos; Aragón-Aranda, Beatriz; Conde-Álvarez, Raquel; Moriyon, Ignacio; Blasco, Jose-María; Muñoz, Pilar M.; Baker, Kate; Thomson, Nicholas; Cloeckaert, Axel; Moreno, Edgardo (Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019-06-07)
      Members of the genus Brucella cluster in two phylogenetic groups: classical and non-classical species. The former group is composed of Brucella species that cause disease in mammals, including humans. A Brucella species, ...

    • New Bruce-ladder multiplex PCR assay for the biovar typing of Brucella suis and the discrimination of Brucella suis and Brucella canis 

      López-Goñi, Ignacio; García-Yoldi, David; Marín Alcalá, Clara María; de Miguel, María J.; BARQUERO-CALVO, ELIAS; Guzman-Verri, Caterina; Albert, David; Garin-Bastuji, Bruno (Veterinary Microbiology, 2011-06-11)
      Rapid and specific identification of Brucella suis at the biovar level is necessary because some of the biovars that infect animals are pathogenic for humans. None of the molecular typing methods described so far are ...
