Project description:Plasmoidium chabuadi AS infections initiated by mosquito transmitted infections give rise to an attenuated blood-stage infection when compared to serially blood passaged parasites. Furthermore, Plasmoidium chabuadi CB infections have an increased virulence as compared with Plasmoidium chabuadi AS. We compared the immune response in the spleens induced by these two types of parasites and two types of infection routes in order to determine what may cause this attenuation. Spleens were taken at several timepoints during the blood-stage infection and RNA-seq analysis was performed.
Project description:We reported 4 single-sample cases and 3 control-sample cases of inflammatory cardiomyopathy using deep RNA-seq for detection of pathogenic agents. We identified various bacterial infections, analyzed genetic variants in patients and their differential gene expression caused by these infections in control-sample cases.
