Host Immune Response and Acute Disease in a Zebrafish Model of<i>Francisella</i>Pathogenesis
2 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
Members of the bacterial genus Francisella are highly virulent and infectious pathogens. New models to study Francisella pathogenesis in evolutionarily distinct species are needed to provide comparative insight, as the mechanisms of host resistance and pathogen virulence are not well understood. We took advantage of the recent discovery of a novel species of Francisella to establish a zebrafish/Francisella...
