    • Brucella abortus strain 2308 Wisconsin genome: Importance of the definition of reference strains 

      Castillo-Zeledón, Amanda; Suárez-Esquivel, Marcela; Ruiz-Villalobos, Nazareth; Jiménez-Rojas, César; Roop, R. Martin; Comerci, Diego J.; BARQUERO-CALVO, ELIAS; Chacón-Díaz, Carlos; Caswell, Clayton C.; Baker, Kate; Chaves-Olarte, Esteban; Thomson, Nicholas; Moreno, Edgardo; LETESSON, Jean-Jacques; De Bolle, Xavier; Guzman-Verri, Caterina (Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016-09-29)
      La brucelosis es una enfermedad infecciosa bacteriana que afecta a una amplia gama de mamíferos y una zoonosis desatendida causada por especies del género genéticamente homogéneo Brucella. Como en la mayoría de los estudios ...

    • Brucella canis is an intracellular pathogen that induces a lower proinflammatory response than smooth zoonotic counterparts 

      Guzman-Verri, Caterina; Chacón-Díaz, Carlos; Altamirano-Silva, Pamela; González-Espinoza, Gabriela; Medina, María-Concepción; Alfaro-Alarcón, Alejandro; Bouza-Mora, Laura; Jiménez-Rojas, César; Wong, Melissa; BARQUERO-CALVO, ELIAS; Rojas, Norman; Moreno, Edgardo; Chaves-Olarte, Esteban (Infection and Immunity, 2015-09-29)
      Canine brucellosis caused by Brucella canis is a disease of dogs and a zoonotic risk. B. canis harbors most of the virulence determinants defined for the genus, but its pathogenic strategy remains unclear since it has not ...

    • Brucella genetic variability in wildlife marine mammals populations relates to host preference and ocean distribution 

      Suárez-Esquivel, Marcela; Baker, Kate; Ruiz-Villalobos, Nazareth; Hernandez-Mora, Gabriela; BARQUERO-CALVO, ELIAS; González-Barrientos, Rocío; Castillo-Zeledón, Amanda; Jiménez-Rojas, César; Chacón-Díaz, Carlos; Cloeckaert, Axel; Chaves-Olarte, Esteban; Thomson, Nicholas; Moreno, Edgardo; Guzman-Verri, Caterina (Oxford University Press on behalf of the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2017-07-20)
      Intracellular bacterial pathogens probably arose when their ancestor adapted from a free-living environment to an intracellular one, leading to clonal bacteria with smaller genomes and less sources of genetic plasticity. ...

    • Brucella neotomae infection in humans, Costa Rica 

      BARQUERO-CALVO, ELIAS; Baker, Kate S.; Amuy, Ernesto; Chaves-Olarte, Esteban; Thomson, Nicholas R.; Moreno, Edgardo; Guzman-Verri, Caterina; Suárez-Esquivel, Marcela; Ruiz-Villalobos, Nazareth; Jiménez-Rojas, César; Chacón-Díaz, Carlos; Víquez-Ruiz, Eunice; Rojas-Campos, Norman; Oviedo-Sánchez, Gerardo (Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017-06)
      Several species of Brucella are known to be zoonotic, but B. neotomae infection has been thought to be limited to wood rats. In 2008 and 2011, however, B. neotomae was isolated from cerebrospinal fluid of 2 men with ...

    • Public 2308W annotation 

      Suárez-Esquivel, Marcela; Ruiz-Villalobos, Nazareth; Castillo Zeledon, Amanda; Jiménez-Rojas, César; Roop II, R.
