Expression of virulence genes in luminescent and nonluminescent isogenic vibrios and virulence towards gnotobiotic brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana) Ghent University
Infectivity and virulence of Trypanosoma (Trypanozoon) brucei for mice. IV. Dissociation of virulence and variable antigen type in relation to pleomorphism Institute of Tropical Medicine
Involvement of quorum sensing in the virulence of Edwardsiella tarda towards cultured marine fish Ghent University
Genome-Based Characterization of a Plasmid-Associated Micrococcin P1 Biosynthetic Gene Cluster and Virulence Factors in Mammaliicoccus sciuri IMDO-S72 KU Leuven
Analysis of the de novo assembled genome of Mammaliicoccus sciuri IMDO-S72 revealed the genetically encoded machinery behind its earlier reported antibacterial phenotype and gave further insight into the repertoire of putative virulence factors of this recently reclassified species. A plasmid-encoded biosynthetic gene cluster was held responsible for the antimicrobial activity of M. sciuri IMDO-S72, comprising genes involved in thiopeptide ...
Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) in shrimp : virulence, pathogenesis and mitigation strategies Ghent University
Phenotypic variation in Vibrio harveyi : virulence factors and immune response in Artemia franciscana Ghent University
Phenotypic (phase) variation or phenotypic switching is defined as a process of reversible, high frequency phenotypic variation. Until now, little is known about phenotypic variation in Vibrio especially in luminous vibriosis diseases for many aquaculture species. Vibrio harveyi, a luminescent Gram-negative motile marine bacterium, is an important pathogen responsible for causing severe diseases in shrimp, finfish and molluscs leading to severe ...
The impact of pathogen-pathogen and host-pathogen signaling on the virulence of Vibrio harveyi towards gnotobiotic brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana) larvae Ghent University
Vibrio harveyi is amongst the most significant pathogens in the larviculture and aquaculture industry. It can affect a wide range of marine vertebrates and invertebrates, causing significant losses to the aquaculture industry worldwide. However, the pathogenicity mechanism of V. harveyi is not yet completely understood. In this work, we evaluated the impact of pathogen-pathogen signaling and sensing of host factors on the virulence of V. harveyi ...
