Understanding the role of diets enriched in long chain fatty acids on postpartum reproductive function and embryo development in dairy cows
DownloadSpring 2016
The objectives of this work were to investigate the influence of diets enriched in long chain fatty acids on feed intake, calf birth weight, maternal and neonatal fatty acid profiles, milk production, postpartum reproductive function, early embryonic development and its transcriptome profile in...

Phage Display Derived Fragment-based Discovery of Antigens for Antibodies associated with Mycobacterial Infections
DownloadSpring 2017
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health problem. Incorrect or missed serodiagnosis for TB, especially in resource-limited settings, is one of the main reasons for TB epidemics. Clinically, serological tests that use circulating antibodies are attractive because antibodies in serum are present...

Investigation of the Molecular Mechanisms That Determine Isolate-Specific, Antibody-Mediated Neutralization of HCV infectivity
DownloadFall 2018
It is estimated that there are about 1.75 million new Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infections per year worldwide and around 20% will develop liver cirrhosis or liver cancer if left untreated. Direct acting antiviral drugs are available for the treatment of HCV with success rates of over 90%. But...

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...

Clinical impact of submicroscopic malaria on delivery outcomes and the role of VAR2CSA antibodies in pregnant women from Colombia
DownloadFall 2018
Malaria caused by the genus Plasmodium (P.) is one of the oldest and most important parasitic infections globally. Pregnant women are at an increased risk for malaria, where the disease poses a significant risk to both maternal and child health. Better diagnosis of malaria can have an immediate...
