Interdisciplinary studies on Coxiella burnetii: From molecular to cellular, to host, to one health research
Int J Med Microbiol. 2023 Nov 29;313(6):151590. doi: 10.1016/j.ijmm.2023.151590. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Q-GAPS (Q fever GermAn interdisciplinary Program for reSearch) consortium was launched in 2017 as a German consortium of more than 20 scientists with exceptional expertise, competence, and substantial knowledge in the field of the Q fever pathogen Coxiella (C.) burnetii. C. burnetii exemplifies as a zoonotic pathogen the challenges of zoonotic disease control and prophylaxis in human, animal, and environmental settings in a One Health approach. An interdisciplinary approach to studying the pathogen is essentia...

Past and present seroprevalence and disease burden estimates of Toxoplasma gondii infections in Germany: An appreciation of the role of serodiagnostics
Int J Med Microbiol. 2023 Dec 1;313(6):151592. doi: 10.1016/j.ijmm.2023.151592. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTToxoplasmosis is one of the major foodborne parasitic diseases in Germany, with 49% of its population chronically infected with its causative agent, Toxoplasma gondii. Although the acute disease is usually benign in immunocompetent individuals, it is a threat for immunocompromised patients as well as for fetuses of seronegative mothers. As a result of infection, congenital and ocular toxoplasmosis can have serious lifelong consequences. Here I will highlight the epidemiologic situation, from its past in the two sep...

ListiWiki: A database for the foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes
Int J Med Microbiol. 2023 Nov 29;313(6):151591. doi: 10.1016/j.ijmm.2023.151591. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTListeria monocytogenes is a Gram positive foodborne pathogen that regularly causes outbreaks of systemic infectious diseases. The bacterium maintains a facultative intracellular lifestyle; it thrives under a variety of environmental conditions and is able to infect human host cells. L. monocytogenes is genetically tractable and therefore has become an attractive model system to study the mechanisms employed by facultative intracellular bacteria to invade eukaryotic cells and to replicate in their cytoplasm. Beside...
