    • Phenotypic and Genomic Assessment of Listeria monocytogenes Virulence 

      Cardenas Alvarez, Maria Ximena (North Dakota State University, 2019)
      Listeria monocytogenes is the etiological agent of listeriosis in humans and ruminants causing bacteremia, central nervous system (CNS) infections, abortion, and gastroenteritis among other clinical outcomes. Recent studies ...

    • Phenotypic and Genotypic Effects of FlhC Mediated Gene Regulation in Escherichia Coli O157:H7 

      Sule, Preeti (North Dakota State University, 2011)
      Escherichia coli (E.coli) 0157:H7, a pathogen belonging to the enterohemorrhagic group of E.coli, has long been a concern to human health. The pathogen causes a myriad of symptoms in humans, ranging from diarrhea and malaise ...

    • Rationally Reconstructed and Attenuated Vaccines for Epidemic Response 

      Rakibuzzaman, AGM (North Dakota State University, 2021)
      Most of the recent viral outbreaks were caused by highly mutating RNA and single stranded DNA viruses. The availability of safe and effective rapid response vaccines early on in an epidemic situation, along with good vaccine ...

    • Rhomboid Proteases and Surface Adhesins During Cryptosporidium Development 

      Tabe, Ebot Sahidu (North Dakota State University, 2013)
      Cryptosporidium parvum, a primary cause of cryptosporidiosis in humans and livestock worldwide, has a complex life cycle that includes an environmental oocyst stage, and stages of merogony, gametogony, and sporogony that ...

    • RNA Viral Prophylaxis: Problems and Potential Solutions 

      Singh, Gagandeep (North Dakota State University, 2019)
      Over 80% of the newly emerging infectious diseases are caused by RNA viruses. Major global problems associated with the development of vaccines against the RNA virus are their high genetic and antigenic diversity. Hence, ...

    • Transmission and Pathogenesis of Swine Torque-Teno Virus 1 (TTSuV1) 

      Ssemadaali, Marvin Apollo (North Dakota State University, 2019)
      Torque-teno viruses (TTVs) are small ubiquitous non-enveloped single-stranded circular DNA viruses. Since their discovery in a post-transfusion hepatitis patient, they have been isolated in several vertebrate hosts with ...
