Project description:Pathogens that cause respiratory diseases in poultry are very complicated, and co-infections with multiple pathogens are prevalent. The H9N2 strain of avian influenza virus (AIV) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) are common poultry pathogens that limit the development of the poultry industry. This study aimed to clarify the interaction between these two pathogens and their pathogenic mechanism using a mouse model. Co-infection with H9N2 AIV and E. coli significantly increased the mortality rate of mice compared to single viral or bacterial infections. It also led to the development of more severe lung lesions compared to single viral or bacterial infections. Co-infection further causes a storm of cytokines, which aggravates the host’s disease by regulating the STAT/SOCS and ERK1/2 pathways. Moreover, co-infection mutually benefited the virus and the bacteria by increasing their multiplication rates. Importantly, nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) expression was also significantly enhanced by the co-infection. It played a key role in the rapid proliferation of E. coli in the presence of the coinfecting H9N2 virus. Therefore, our study underscores the role of NOS2 as a determinant for bacteria growth and illustrates its importance as an additional mechanism that enhances influenza virus-bacteria synergy. It further provides a scientific basis for investigating the synergistic infection mechanism between viruses and bacteria.

Project description:Avian influenza caused significant damages to the poultry industry, efforts have been made to reveal the disease mechanisms as well as mechanisms of disease resistance. Here, by investigating two chicken breeds with distinct responses to avian influenza virus (AIV), Leghorn GB2 and Fayoumi M43, we compared their differences in genome, methylation and transcriptome. Except for MX1 involved direct acting antiviral mechanism, we found that in both methylation and transcriptome levels the more AIV resistant breed Fayoumi showed less variations compared to White Leghorn after AIV challenging. Fayoumi also showed better consistency between the changes in methylation and changes in transcriptome level. Our results suggested a homeostasis hypothesis of avian influenza resistance, with Fayoumi better maintaining homeostasis both in epigenetic and gene expression levels.

Project description:Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne alphavirus that has emerged as a significant public health concern due to its ability to cause severe arthralgia and occasionally fatal cases. The virus has been shown to infect a wide range of tissues, including the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and brain, leading to a spectrum of clinical manifestations.This study aims to investigate the impact of CHIKV infection on the transcriptome of various organs in rhesus monkeys and mice, providing insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of CHIKV in different host species.The transcriptome analysis revealed significant alterations in gene expression across the infected tissues in both species.

Project description:Airborne transmissibility of avian influenza viruses (AIVs) in humans is considered an essential component to their pandemic risk. While several viral factors regulating airborne transmission (AT) have been delineated, it is not known what, if any, responses at the respiratory epithelia are determinant of AIV AT. Using responses in the ferret nasal epithelium to a panel of H1N1 AIVs, here we describe host responses that segregate with AT phenotypes. AIV infection upregulated interferon alpha and gamma responses, IL-6 JAK-STAT signaling and downregulated oxidative phosphorylation. Single cell transcriptomics revealed that cellular genotoxic stress, NF-kB, interferon and cell fate pathways differentiated host responses to AIVs with different transmissibility. These responses culminated in greater AIV antigen-containing exudate and debris in the respiratory spaces of the nasal epithelium of ferrets inoculated with AT AIVs. More abundant CMPK2, SP100 and CXCL10 transcription in infected epithelia were a hallmark of AT viruses. Overall, our study reveals host responses associated with AIV infection and transmission in the nasal epithelium, the determinant anatomical site of influenza virus transmission.

Project description:Chagas’ disease, one of the major public health concerns in Latin America, is caused by the haemophlagelated protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi). In the past few years congenital transmission of T. cruzi has become more important, and partly responsible for the “globalization of Chagas’ disease”. The congenital transmission, although with low rates, represents the main route of transmission in non-endemic countries and endemic countries without vectorial transmission, and represents one third of the new cases each year. Diverse pathogens, including T. cruzi, are able to cross the placental barrier and infect both the placenta and fetus. However, the exact cellular and molecular mechanisms of host-pathogen interaction between T. cruzi and the placenta has been scarcely studied. The use of microarray analysis to determine expression profiles constitutes a powerful tool in order to identify genes and pathways related to the host response to infections. Here, we analyzed the transcriptomic response of human placental chorionic villi explants (HPCVE) challenged with T. cruzi trypomastigotes at low (105) and high (106) concentrations for 2 and 24 hours

Project description:Begomoviruses, the largest, most damaging and emerging group of plant viruses in the world, infect hundreds of plant species and new virus species of the group are discovered each year. They are transmitted by species of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci. Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is one of the most devastating begomoviruses worldwide and causes major losses in tomato crops as well as in many more agriculturally important plant species. Different B. tabaci populations vary in their virus transmission abilities; the causes for these differences are attributed among others to genetic diversity of vector populations, as well as to differences in the bacterial symbiont flora of the insects. Here, we performed discovery proteomic analyses in nine whiteflies populations from both B (MEAM1) and Q (MED) species with different TYLCV transmission abilities. The results provide the first comprehensive list of candidate insect and bacterial symbiont (mainly Rickettsia) proteins associated with virus transmission. Efficient vector populations from two different B. tabaci species over-expressed or downregulated expression of proteins belonging to two different molecular pathways.

Project description:Hanl Lee & Angelyn Lao. Transmission dynamics and control strategies assessment of avian influenza A (H5N6) in the Philippines. Infectious Disease Modelling 3 (2018).
Due to the outbreaks of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A (HPAI) H5N6 in the Philippines (particularly in Pampanga and Nueva Ecija) in August 2017, there has been an increase in the need to cull the domestic birds to control the spread of the infection. However, this control method poses a negative impact on the poultry industry. In addition, the pathogenicity and transmissibility of the H5N6 in both the birds and the humans remain largely unknown which call for the necessity to develop more strategic control methods for the virus. In this study, we constructed a mathematical model for the bilinear and half-saturated incidence to compare their corresponding effect on transmission dynamics of H5N6. The simulations of half-saturated incidence model were similar to what occurred during the H5N6 outbreak (2017) in the Philippines. Instead of culling the birds, we implemented other control strategies such as non-medicinal (personal protection and poultry isolation) and medicinal (poultry vaccination) ways to prevent, reduce, and control the rate of the H5N6 virus transmission. Among the proposed control strategies, we have shown that the poultry isolation strategy is still the most effective in reducing the infected birds.
