    A human macrophage – hepatocyte co-culture model for comparative studies of infection and replication of Francisella tularensis LVS strain and subspecies holarctica and mediasiatica

    Francisella tularensis, a gram-negative bacterium replicates intracellularly within macrophages and efficiently evades the innate immune response. It is able to infect and replicate wi...

    Spatio-temporal dynamics of endophyte diversity in the canopy of European ash (Fraxinus excelsior)

    Leaf-inhabiting endophytic fungi of Fraxinus excelsior growing in a floodplain forest were isolated during 2008 to investigate vertical community structure, species richness and seasonal variation. The analysis o...

    German Francisella tularensis isolates from European brown hares (Lepus europaeus)reveal genetic and phenotypic diversity

    Tularemia is a zoonotic disease caused by Francisella tularensis that has been found in many different vertebrates. In Germany most human infections are caused by contact with infected European brown hares (Lepus...
