Bacterial and Fungal Gut Community Dynamics Over the First 5 Years of Life in Predominantly Rural Communities in Ghana

Bacterial and fungal microbiotas are increasingly recognized as important in health and disease starting early in life. However, microbiota composition has not yet been investigated in most rural, low-resource settings, and in such settings, bacterial and fungal microbiotas have not been compared.

IgG3 + B cells are associated with the development of multiple sclerosis

We have identified previously uncharacterised subsets of IgG3 + B cells and shown them to correlate with autoimmune attacks on the central nervous system

Antisense Transcription in Loci Associated to Hereditary Neurodegenerative Diseases

Evidence for the existence of additional regulatory mechanisms of the expression of neurodegenerative disease-causing genes by antisense long noncoding RNAs

The epidemiological transition in Papua New Guinea: new evidence from verbal autopsy studies

Our results indicate immediate priorities for health service planning and for strengthening of vital registration systems

Group A streptococcal pharyngitis: Immune responses involved in bacterial clearance and GAS-associated immunopathologies

Innate and adaptive host immune responses are fundamental for defense against streptococcal pharyngitis and are central to the clinical manifestation of disease.

Protocol for Pertussis Immunisation and Food Allergy (PIFA): a case-control study of the association between pertussis vaccination in infancy

We therefore speculate that removal of wP from the vaccine schedule contributed to the observed rise in IgE-mediated food allergy among Australian infants

Differences in the population structure of Neisseria meningitidis in two Australian states: Victoria and Western Australia

In this study, invasive meningococcal disease isolates from the western seaboard of Australia, WA, were compared to those of VIC from 2008 to 2012.

Reduced rhinovirus-specific antibodies are associated with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive

Acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) are often linked to respiratory infections.
