Classification and regression tree and spatial analyses reveal geographic heterogeneity

Genome wide linkage studies (GWLS) have provided evidence for loci controlling visceral leishmaniasis on Chromosomes 1p22, 6q27, 22q12 in Sudan...

A genome-wide association study identifies new psoriasis susceptibility loci and an interaction between HLA-C and ERAP1

To identify new susceptibility loci for psoriasis, we undertook a genome-wide association study of 594,224 SNPs in 2,622 individuals with psoriasis...

Structural and IgE binding analyses of recombinant Der p 2 expressed from the hosts Escherichia coli and Pichia pastoris

The house dust mite allergen Der p 2 is one of the most important indoor allergens associated with allergic disease.

Host and parasite genomics, an Australasian perspective

The last decade has seen rapid advances in the genetic technology that is allowing researchers to examine host-pathogen interactions at a whole organism level.

Evidence for associations between the purinergic receptor P2X(7) (P2RX7) and toxoplasmosis

Congenital Toxoplasma gondii infection can result in intracranial calcification, hydrocephalus and retinochoroiditis. Acquired infection is commonly associated

CXCR1 and SLC11A1 polymorphisms affect susceptibility to cutaneous leishmaniasis in Brazil: a case-control and family-based study

To look at the interplay between PMN and macrophages in disease progression in humans we asked whether polymorphisms at genes that regulate their infiltration..

Toxoplasma Modulates Signature Pathways of Human Epilepsy, Neurodegeneration & Cancer.

disease-deconvolution" identified associations between the parasite-brain interactions and epilepsy, movement disorders, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer.

A microbiome case-control study of recurrent acute otitis media identified potentially protective bacterial genera

We characterised the nasopharyngeal microbiome of these children in comparison to children with rAOM to identify potentially protective bacteria.

Toxoplasma gondii infection is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in-vitro

Our results show perturbation of host mitochondrial function following T. gondii infection that likely impacts on pathogenesis of disease.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Genetic Risk Factors for Rheumatic Heart Disease in Aboriginal Australians Provides Support for Pathogenic Molecular Mimicry

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) after group A streptococcus (GAS) infections is heritable and prevalent in Indigenous populations. Molecular mimicry between human and GAS proteins triggers proinflammatory cardiac valve-reactive T cells.
