Project description:A direct comparison of RNAi in vitro with RNAi in vivo is being performed using RNA interference (RNAi) target sequencing (RIT-Seq) of Trypanosoma brucei to identify all genes specifically required for growth in vivo (the infectome). Assembly of the bloodstream-form T. brucei RNAi library and the RNAi target sequencing (RIT-seq) approach in African trypanosomes were reported previously in Alsford, S. et al. High-throughput phenotyping using parallel sequencing of RNA interference targets in the African trypanosome. Genome Res 21, 915-924, 264 doi:gr.115089.110 [pii] 265 10.1101/gr.115089.110 (2011) and Alsford,S et al. High-throughput decoding of antitrypanosomal drug efficacy and resistance.

Project description:We have published a paper showing that infections using mosquito-transmitted parasites have a quite different effect on the host immune system (Spence et al, Nature, 2013). Here we are repeating the experiment but using a more virulent strain of the parasite: P. chabaudi CB, to study further how mosquito transmission regulates parasite virulence. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

Project description:New insights into the blood-stage transcriptome of Plasmodium falciparum using RNA-Seq was published in 2010 (Otto et al. Molecular Microbiology 2010, April;67 (1), pp. 12-24). Here in collaboration with Manuel Llinas (Princetown University) we are utilising advances in RNA-Seq to gain further understanding of Plasmodium falciparum blood-stage transcription. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

Project description:The presence of genetic groups of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae in soil is shaped by its adaptability to specific soil and habitat types, and by soil insect populations. Although the entomopathogenic life style of this fungus is well studied, its saprophytic life style has received little consideration. While a set of functionally related genes can be commonly expressed for the adaptability of this fungus to different environments (insect cuticle, insect blood and root exudates), a different subset of genes is also expected for each environment. In order to increase the knowledge of the potential use of M. anisopliae as a rhizosphere competent organism, in this study we evaluated the genetic expression of this fungus while growing on plant root exudates in laboratory conditions during a time course.
Project description:The aim of this study is to explore the role of differences in host genetic background which will supplement our current analysis of a timecourse of P.chabaudi infection in C57BL/6 mice over the peak of parasitemia. We have also published a paper showing that infections using mosquito-transmitted parasites have a quite different effect on the host immune system (Spence et al, Nature, 2013) and using this study we can compare the effects in host and parasite of serially blood passaged parasites versus mosquito transmitted parasites. This is in collaboration with Jean Langhorne at NIMR.This data is part of a pre-publication release.
