CAMPYLOBACTER JEJUNI AND CAMPYLOBACTER COLI AUTOTRANSPORTER GENES EXHIBIT LINEAGE-ASSOCIATED DISTRIBUTION AND DECAY

Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli autotransporter genes exhibit lineage-associated distribution and decay

Abstract Background Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli are major global causes of bacterial gastroenteritis.Whilst several individual colonisation and virulence factors have been identified, our understanding of their role in the transmission, pathogenesis and ecology of Campylobacter has been hampered by the genotypic and phenotypic diver

Acceptance of Nordic snack bars in children aged 8–11 years

Background: A health promoting diet is suggested to be tailored to regional circumstances to preserve the cultural diversity in eating habits, as well as contribute to more environmentally friendly eating.It may influence consumer acceptance, however, if the components of the diet differs considerably from their habitual food.Objective: This study

Anticipating epidemic transitions with imperfect data.

Epidemic transitions are an important feature of infectious disease systems.As the transmissibility of a pathogen increases, the dynamics of disease spread shifts from limited stuttering chains of transmission to potentially large scale outbreaks.One proposed method to anticipate this transition are early-warning signals (EWS), summary statistics w
