Association between commensal bacterial establishment and mucosal innate immune genes expression throughout the gastro-intestinal tract of dairy calves
DownloadFall 2011
Communication between commensal microbes and host in gastro-intestinal tract (GIT) has been proven to be vital for host immune responses and health maintenance. This study investigated the relationship between bacterial community and mucosal innate immune gene expression throughout the GIT of...

Liang, Guanxiang, Bao, Hua, Guan, Leluo, Griebel, Philip J., Stothard, Paul, McFadden, Thomas B., Malmuthuge, Nilusha
This study aimed to investigate the potential regulatory role of miRNAs in the development of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) during the early life of dairy calves. Rumen and small intestinal (mid-jejunum and ileum) tissue samples were collected from newborn (30 min after birth; n = 3), 7-day-old...

Wilkinson, Jamie M., Lunney, Joan K., Detmer, Susan E., Ladinig, Andrea, Harding, John C.S., Ashley, Carolyn, Plastow, Graham
Minimal research has focused on understanding mechanisms underlying porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) induced reproductive failure. We have completed a large-scale project investigating phenotypic and genotypic predictors of reproductive PRRS severity in which numerous...

The gut microbiome and its potential role in the development and function of newborn calf gastrointestinal tract
Download2015
Grebiel, Philip J., Malmuthuge, Nilusha, Guan, Leluo
A diverse microbial population colonizes the sterile mammalian gastrointestinal tract during and after the birth. There is increasing evidence that this complex microbiome plays a crucial role in the development of the mucosal immune system and influences newborn health. Microbial colonization is...

Genome-wide whole blood microRNAome and transcriptome analyses revealed miRNA-mRNA regulated host response to foodborne pathogen Salmonella infection in swine
Download2015-07-31
Arantes, Adriano S., Tuggle, Christopher K., Guan, Le L., Bearson, Shawn M.D., Sun, Xu, Plastow, Graham S., Kommadath, Arun, Bao, Hua, Stothard, Paul, Liang, Guanxiang
To understand the role of miRNAs in regulating genes involved in host response to bacterial infection and shedding of foodborne pathogens, a systematic profiling of miRNAs and mRNAs from the whole blood of pigs upon Salmonella challenge was performed. A total of 62 miRNAs were differentially...

Novakovic, Predrag, Harding, John C. S., Al-Dissi, Ahmad, Ladinig, Andrea, Detmer, Susan E.
The pathogenesis of fetal death caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndromevirus (PRRSV) remains unclear. The objective of this study was to improve our understand-ing of the pathogenesis by assessing potential relationships between specific histopatho-logical lesions and PRRSV RNA...

Genetic and genomic basis of antibody response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) in gilts and sows
Download2016-01-01
Serao, Nick V. L., Kemp, Robert A., Mote, Benny E., Willson, Philip, Harding, John C. S., Bishop, Stephen C., Plastow, Graham S., Dekkers, Jack C. M.
Background:Our recent research showed that antibody response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syn-drome (PRRS), measured as sample-to-positive (S/P) ratio, is highly heritable and has a high genetic correlation with reproductive performance during a PRRS outbreak. Two major quantitative...

Bao, Hua, Schroyen, Martine, Rowland, Robert R.R., Guan, Le L., Stothard, Paul, Reecy, James M., Fritz-Waters, Eric, Koltes, James E., Kommadath, Arun, Plastow, Graham S., Eisley, Christopher, Tuggle, Christopher K. , Dekkers, Jack C.M., Lunney, Joan K., Choi, Igseo
Background A region on Sus scrofa chromosome 4 (SSC4) surrounding single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker WUR10000125 (WUR) has been reported to be strongly associated with both weight gain and serum viremia in pigs after infection with PRRS virus (PRRSV). A proposed causal mutation in the...
