Project description:Sorghum bicolor is one of the most important cereal crops in the world, predominantly grown in sub‑Saharan Africa by smallholder farmers. Despite its outstanding resilience to abiotic stresses, approximately 20% of sorghum yield is annually lost on the African continent due to infestation with the parasitic weed Striga hermonthica. Existing Striga management strategies to decrease Striga infestation often show low efficiency and are not easily integrated into current agricultural practices. Microbial-based solutions may prove an effective, low-cost mode for reducing Striga parasitism in sub-Saharan Africa. Here, we demonstrate that the microbiome component of a field soil suppresses Striga infection of sorghum. Potential mechanisms underlying the soil microbiome’s influence on the host plant include root endodermal suberization and aerenchyma formation. Moreover, we observed a depletion of haustorium inducing factors, compounds essential for Striga to establish the host-parasite association, in root exudates collected from sorghum grown in the presence of the soil microbiome as compared to sterile conditions. We further identified individual microbial taxa associated with reduced Striga infection via changes in root cellular anatomy and differentiation as well as in exudate composition. Our study identifies a suite of traits that can be harnessed by individual microbial isolates or their consortia to induce Striga resistance. Combining microbes that elicit Striga resistance directly (affecting the parasite) via repression of haustorium formation with those that act indirectly (affecting the host), by reducing of Striga penetration through root tissue, can broaden the effectiveness of microbe-induced protection from Striga.

Project description:Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a disease of major economic importance in Sub-Saharan Africa. In eastern and southern Africa. Here we analysed clinical isolates of T brucei rhodensiense, resistant to suramin by shotgun proteomics . And identified parasite proteins whose expression is associated with resistance to suramin.

Project description:Cervical cancer remains a significant health challenge for women worldwide, with a disproportionate impact on developing regions like sub-Saharan Africa. Taking advantage of recent advancements in developing suitable preclinical models to study cell proliferation, differentiation, and gene expression, we used RNA sequencing to compare the transcriptomic profiles of SiHa cervical cancer cells grown in 3D versus 2D culture systems.

Project description:Sub-Saharan Africa represents 69% of the total number of individuals living with HIV infection worldwide and 72% of AIDS deaths globally. Pulmonary infection is a common and frequently fatal complication, though little is known regarding the lower airway microbiome composition of this population. Our objectives were to characterize the lower airway microbiome of Ugandan HIV-infected patients with pneumonia, to determine relationships with demographic, clinical, immunological, and microbiological variables and to compare the composition and predicted metagenome of these communities to a comparable cohort of patients in the US (San Francisco). Bronchoalveolar lavage samples from a cohort of 60 Ugandan HIV-infected patients with acute pneumonia were collected. Amplified 16S ribosomal RNA was profiled and aforementioned relationships examined. Ugandan airway microbiome composition and predicted metagenomic function were compared to US HIV-infected pneumonia patients. Among the most common bacterial pulmonary pathogens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was most prevalent in the Ugandan cohort. Patients with a richer and more diverse airway microbiome exhibited lower bacterial burden, enrichment of members of the Lachnospiraceae and sulfur-reducing bacteria and reduced expression of TNF-alpha and matrix metalloproteinase-9. Compared to San Franciscan patients, Ugandan airway microbiome were significantly richer, and compositionally distinct with predicted metagenomes that encoded a multitude of distinct pathogenic pathways e.g secretion systems. Ugandan pneumonia-associated airway microbiome is compositionally and functionally distinct from those detected in comparable patients in developed countries, a feature which may contribute to adverse outcomes in this population. Please note that the data from the comparable cohort of patients in the USUS data was published as supplemental material of PMID: 22760045 but not submitted to GEO The 'patient_info.txt' contains 12 clinical, 7 immunological and 3 microbiological variables for each patient. The G2 PhyloChip microarray platform (commercially available from Second Genome, Inc.) was used to profile bacteria in lower airway samples from 60 subjects

Project description:Transcriptome profiling of three DDT resistant strains of Anopheles gambiae in Cameroon (Gare, Messa and Nkolondom- 2 M forms and one S form) compared to the susceptible strain Ngousso (M form) and Kisumu (S form). S-form is distributed across sub-Saharan Africa and breeds mostly in association with rain-dependent pools and temporary puddles. M-form distribution overlaps with that of S-form in West and Central Africa, but the former form is apparently absent east of the Great Rift Valley; it is able to exploit relatively more permanent breeding sites, often closely associated with human activities, such those created by irrigation, rice cultivation and urbanization (Santolamazza et al., 2011).
