• Ehrlichia chaffeensis Infection in the Reservoir Host (White-Tailed Deer) and in an Incidental Host (Dog) Is Impacted by Its Prior Growth in Macrophage and Tick Cell Environments

  Authors:Arathy D. S. Nair, Chuanmin Cheng, Deborah C. Jaworski, Lloyd H. Willard, Michael W. Sanderson, and Roman R. GantaFrom:PLoS ONE (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-Reviewed

  Oct. 10, 20148,882 words Article 1540LEhrlichia chaffeensis, transmitted from Amblyomma americanum ticks, causes human monocytic ehrlichiosis. It also infects white-tailed deer, dogs and several other vertebrates. Deer are its reservoir hosts, while humans...

• Mutations in Ehrlichia chaffeensis Causing Polar Effects in Gene Expression and Differential Host Specificities

  Authors:Chuanmin Cheng, Arathy D. S. Nair, Deborah C. Jaworski, and Roman R. GantaFrom:PLoS ONE (Vol. 10, Issue 7) Peer-Reviewed

  July 17, 20155,829 words Article 1510LEhrlichia chaffeensis, a tick-borne rickettsial, is responsible for human monocytic ehrlichiosis. In this study, we assessed E. chaffeensis insertion mutations impacting the transcription of genes near the insertion...
