Virulence test using nematodes to prescreen <i>Nocardia</i> species capable of inducing neurodegeneration and behavioral disorders

2017-08-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a disorder characterized by dopaminergic neuron programmed cell death. The etiology of PD remains uncertain—some cases are due to selected genes associated with familial heredity, others are due to environmental exposure to toxic components, but over 90% of cases have a sporadic origin. Nocardia are Actinobacteria that can cause human diseases like nocardiosis. Th...
