Spring 2012
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is implicated in several vascular diseases through endothelial dysfunction. Most of the research on CMV has focused on either congenital CMV infections or CMV disease in immunocompromised hosts; however, CMV has also been associated with vascular diseases in...

Spring 2015
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common opportunistic post-transplant infection. Although important advances have been made in the management and prevention of post-transplant CMV, current strategies for monitoring and prevention still show significant limitations. Such gaps create opportunities...

Differential responses in placenta and fetal thymus at 12 days post infection elucidate mechanisms of viral level and fetal compromise following PRRSV2 infection
Download2020-01-01
Van Goor, Angelica, Pasternak, Alex, Walker, Kristen, Hong, Linjun, Malgarin, Carolina, MacPhee, Daniel J., Harding, John C. S., Lunney, Joan K.
Background:A pregnant gilt infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) can transmit the virus to her fetuses across the maternal-fetal-interface resulting in varying disease outcomes. However,the mechanisms leading to variation in fetal outcome in response to PRRSV...

Estimating the Seroprevalence of Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and the Risk of Transfusion-Transmitted and Community-Acquired CMV Infection in Solid Organ Transplant Donors and Recipients
DownloadFall 2019
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are ubiquitous herpesviruses that establish lifelong, often asymptomatic, infections in healthy people, but are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality in certain hosts. CMV is the most common congenital infection worldwide, causing...

High fructose intake during pregnancy adversely affects insulin resistance, lipid profiles, and affects placental gene expression of nutrient transporters and angiogenesis in rat dams and their pregnant offspring
DownloadSpring 2017
Fructose intake has increased over the past several decades due to high consumption of sugary foods and drinks. In non-pregnant humans and animals, high fructose intake results in hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance and weight gain, although its effects on metabolic adaptations to pregnancy and on...

Improving the Assignment of Cytomegalovirus Infection Status in Adults and Children Awaiting Solid Organ Transplant
DownloadFall 2017
Cytomegalovirus (CMV), a herpes-virus, is widespread in the human population as a lifelong and largely asymptomatic infection in immunocompetent people, but it is a major cause of morbidity in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Knowledge of pre-transplant CMV infection status, generally...

Intravaginal lactic acid bacteria modulated local and systemic immune responses and lowered the incidence of uterine infections in periparturient dairy cows
Download2015
Dunn, Suzanna M., Odhiambo, John F., Farooq, Umar, Ametaj, Burim N., Lam, Tran, Deng, Qilan
The objective of this investigation was to evaluate whether intravaginal infusion of a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cocktail around parturition could influence the immune response, incidence rate of uterine infections, and the overall health status of periparturient dairy cows. One hundred pregnant...
