“Liberibacter solanacearum”
Abstract
“ Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum” is a pathogen transmitted by the potato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli (Šulc) (Hemiptera: Triozidae) in a persistent manner. In this study, we investigated the molecular interaction between “ Ca. Liberibacter solanacearum” and the potato psyllid at the gut interface. Specifically, we focused on the apoptotic response of potato psyllids to the infection by two “

Diaphorina citri Nymphs Are Resistant to Morphological Changes Induced by “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” in Midgut Epithelial Cells

Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” is the causative bacterium associated with citrus greening disease. “ Ca . Liberibacter asiaticus” is transmitted by Diaphorina citri more efficiently when it is acquired by nymphs rather than adults. Why this occurs is not known. We compared midguts of D. citri insects reared on healthy or “ Ca . Liberibacter

“ Candidatus Helicobacter heilmannii” from a Cynomolgus Monkey Induces Gastric Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue Lymphomas in C57BL/6 Mice

Names
Ca. Helicobacter heilmannii
Abstract
ABSTRACT Both Helicobacter pylori and “ Candidatus Helicobacter heilmannii” infections are associated with peptic ulcers, gastric adenocarcinoma, and gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas. However, good animal models of H. pylori clinical diseases are rare. In this study, we aimed to establish an animal model of “ Candidatus Helicobacter heilmannii” gastric
