HOW MICROBIOMES CAN HELP INFORM CONSERVATION: LANDSCAPE CHARACTERISATION OF GUT MICROBIOTA HELPS SHED LIGHT ON ADDITIONAL POPULATION STRUCTURE IN A SPECIALIST FOLIVORE

How microbiomes can help inform conservation: landscape characterisation of gut microbiota helps shed light on additional population structure in a specialist folivore

Abstract Background The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), an iconic yet endangered specialised folivore experiencing widespread decline across Australia, is the focus of many conservation programs.Whilst animal translocation and progressive Pendant Lighting conservation strategies such as faecal inoculations may be required to bring this species back

Chlamydia trachomatis Infection Impairs MHC-I Intracellular Trafficking and Antigen Cross-Presentation by Dendritic Cells

During cross-presentation, exogenous antigens (i.e.intracellular pathogens or tumor cells) are internalized and processed within the endocytic system and also by the proteasome in the cytosol.Then, antigenic peptides are associated with Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I molecules and these complexes transit to the plasma membrane in or
