Leptospira seroprevalence in dogs, cats and horses: the effect of cross-reactivity between serovars and vaccination status on seroprevalence estimates

This study estimates Leptospira seroprevalence in dogs, horses, and cats, finding high cross-reactivity and higher seroprevalence in vaccinated dogs.

Enhancement of clinical signs in C3H/HeJ mice vaccinated with a highly immunogenic Leptospira methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein following challenge

This study evaluates a recombinant Leptospira methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein (MCP) vaccine in C3H/HeJ mice, finding it elicits an immune response but does not prevent disease and may exacerbate clinical signs.

Multisystemic inflammatory disease in Pheasantshell (Unionidae, Actinonaias pectorosa) associated with Yokenella regensburgei infection at sites experiencing seasonal mass mortality events

The study investigates the role of Yokenella regensburgei in causing multisystemic inflammatory disease and mortality in Pheasantshell mussels during seasonal mass mortality events in the Clinch River.

Caenorhabditis elegans germ granules are present in distinct configurations that differentially associate with RNAi-targeted RNAs

The paper investigates the spatial organization of C. elegans germ granules and their association with RNAi-targeted RNAs, revealing distinct configurations and functional differences.

Leptospira transcriptome sequencing using long-read technology reveals unannotated transcripts and potential polyadenylation of mRNA molecules

This study uses long-read sequencing to analyze Leptospira transcriptomes, identifying unannotated transcripts and potential polyadenylation, with implications for virulence.

Leptospira enrichment culture followed by ONT Nanopore sequencing allows better detection of Leptospira presence and diversity in water and soil samples.

The paper compares methods for detecting Leptospira in environmental samples, finding that enrichment culture followed by PCR or sequencing improves detection of both pathogenic and nonpathogenic Leptospira.

Split-TurboID enables contact-dependent proximity labeling in cells

Split-TurboID enables proximity labeling at organelle contact sites by splitting the TurboID enzyme and reconstituting it at these sites, identifying over 100 endogenous proteins.
