Genomics-Based Diagnostic Marker Development for Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and X. oryzae pv. oryzicola.
Plant Dis
March 2010
Department of Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management, CSU.
A computational genomics pipeline was used to compare sequenced genomes of Xanthomonas spp. and to rapidly identify unique regions for development of highly specific diagnostic markers. A suite of diagnostic primers was selected to monitor diverse loci and to distinguish the rice bacterial blight and bacterial leaf streak pathogens, Xanthomonas oryzae pv.

Osteoarthritis Cartilage
June 2008
Orthopaedic Research Center (ORC), Colorado State University (CSU), Fort Collins, CO 80523, USA.
Objective: To evaluate a technique of autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) similar to the other techniques using cell-seeded resorbable collagen membranes in large articular defects.
Methods: Autologous cartilage was harvested arthroscopically from the lateral trochlear ridge of the femur in fifteen 3-year-old horses. After culture and expansion of chondrocytes the newly created ACI construct (autologous chondrocytes cultured expanded, seeded on a collagen membrane, porcine small intestine submucosa) was implanted into 15mm defects on the medial trochlear ridge of the femur in the opposite femoropatellar joint.
Infectious prions in the saliva and blood of deer with chronic wasting disease.

Article Synopsis
- - Research investigated how prion diseases, like chronic wasting disease (CWD), can spread through body fluids like saliva, blood, urine, and feces of infected deer.
- - Experiments with uninfected deer showed that prions were present in saliva (which could infect through oral contact) and blood (which could transmit via transfusions).
- - Findings highlight easy transmission of CWD in deer and emphasize the need for caution around contact with potentially infected body fluids.
Experimental transmission of West Nile virus (Flaviviridae: Flavivirus) by Carios capensis ticks from North America.
Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis
February 2006
Department of Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management, Arthropod-borne and Infectious Diseases Laboratory (AIDL), Colorado State University (CSU), Fort Collins, Colorado 80523-1692, USA.
Seabird soft ticks, Carios capensis (Ixodida: Argasidae), originally collected from coastal Georgia, USA, were allowed to ingest a blood meal from pekin ducklings (Anas domesticus) infected with WNV. After 35 days of extrinsic incubation, the ticks transmitted virus to naive ducklings. WNV was detected via plaque assay and RTPCR in ticks and in tissues and serum of ducklings 7 days post infestation.
