Facing the human and animal Brucellosis conundrums: the forgotten lessons
(MDPI, 2022-04-30)
Brucellosis is a major zoonotic disease caused by Brucella species. Historically, the disease
received over fifty names until it was recognized as a single entity, illustrating its protean manifesta-
tions and intricacies, ...
Computational biology in Costa Rica: the role of a small country in the global context of bioinformatics
(PLoS Computational Biology, 2008-03-14)
The successful development of high throughput methods for
DNA sequencing, transcriptomics, proteomics, and other –omics,
has contributed to the emergence of novel possibilities for the
examination of complex biological ...
Genome evolution within the alpha Proteobacteria: why do some bacteria not possess plasmids and others exhibit more than one diferent chromosome?
(Elsevier, 1998)
Animal intracellular Proteobacteria of the alpha subclass without plasmids and containing one or more chromosomes are
phylogenetically entwined with opportunistic, plant-associated, chemoautotrophic and photosynthetic ...
Age and Sexual Maturity Estimation of Stranded Striped Dolphins, Stenella coeruleoalba, Infected with Brucella ceti
(MDPI, 2022-10-31)
Age parameters in cetaceans allow examining conservation and studying individuals with
growth affection. The age and sexual maturity of 51 stranded Stenella coeruleoalba striped dolphins
from the Eastern Tropical Pacific ...
The Struggle of Neglected Scientific Groups: Ten Years of NeTropica Efforts to Promote Research in Tropical Diseases in Central America
(PLOS ONE, 2011)
The general strategy used by high-income countries to address global health challenges in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) relies heavily on short-term strategies designed to diminish the burden of diseases afflicting ...
Brucella evolution and taxonomy
(Elsevier Science B.V, 2002)
The genus Brucella contains alpha-Proteobacteria adapted to intracellular life within cells of a variety of mammals. Controversy has arisen concerning Brucella internal taxonomy, and it has been proposed that the DNA–DNA ...
Pathogenicity and its implications in Taxonomy: The Brucella and Ochrobactrum Case
(MDPI, 2022)
The intracellular pathogens of the genus Brucella are phylogenetically close to Ochrobac-
trum, a diverse group of free-living bacteria with a few species occasionally infecting medically
compromised patients. A group ...
Brucellosis in Central America
(Elsevier Science B.V, 2002)
Brucellosis is a disease of domestic animals and humans in Central America (CA). Bovine and swine brucellosis caused by Brucella abortus and Brucella suis, respectively, have been identified in all CA countries, while ovine ...
A bvrR/bvrS Non-Polar Brucella abortus Mutant Confirms the Role of the Two-Component System BvrR/BvrS in Virulence and Membrane Integrity
(MDPI, 2023-08-05)
Brucella abortus is a bacterial pathogen causing bovine brucellosis worldwide. This facultative extracellular–intracellular pathogen can be transmitted to humans, leading to a zoonotic disease.
The disease remains a public ...
Virulent Brucella nosferati infecting Desmodus rotundus has emerging potential due to the broad foraging range of its bat host for humans and wild and domestic animals
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-07-05)
Desmodus rotundus, vampire bats, transmit dangerous infections, and
brucellosis is a hazardous zoonotic disease, two adversities that coexist in the subtropical
and tropical areas of the American continent. Here, we ...
