Accomplishments
- Optimized the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) recombination-resistant platform for live attenuated vaccine development.
- Elucidated how vitamin A status modulates maternal/lactogenic immunity and the gut-mammary gland-secretory IgA(sIgA) axis in sows.
- Characterized extraintestinal infection of porcine deltacoronavirus (PDCoV) by demonstrating that PDCoV RNA could be detected in low to moderate quantities in multiple organs or extraintestinal fluids, such as bronchoalveolar lavage and bile.
- Isolated and characterized current bovine coronavirus (BCoV) strains from dairy cows, dairy calves, and beef cattle for infectious clone establishment to study BCoV gene functions, tissue tropisms, and attenuated vaccine development.
- Constructed broadly immunogenic multivalent antigens for broad immunity and cross-protection against pig post-weaning diarrhea and moderate-to-severe diarrhea in humans using a novel multiepitope-fusion-antigen (MEFA) vaccinology platform.
- Identified three inhibitors of Cryptosporidium parvum glycolytic enzymes to be efficacious in treating cryptosporidiosis in infected bovine neonatal calves.
- Demonstrated that clathrin is involved in the endocytosis of Lawsonia intracellularis.
- Characterized two novel regulatory mechanisms that play a critical role in polymyxin resistance in Gram-negative pathogens and revealed novel targets for combating polymyxin resistance, a significant issue in animal health and food safety.
- Demonstrated that small molecules, GI-7 and QSI-5, possess a higher anti-APEC efficacy than sulfadimethoxine without a negative impact on growth performance of chickens.
- Revealed that Clostridium perfringens virulence was reduced by secondary bile acid deoxycholic acid (DCA) and isoallolithocholic acid (isoalloLCA).
- Developed a microbiota-based treatment that significantly altered the host gut innate immune response and provided protection to Enterobacteriaceae and Salmonella in chickens.
- Deciphered the association between Campylobacter jejuni colonization and gut microbiota composition of commercial broilers, and demonstrated fecal microbiota transplantation reduced cecal Campylobacter colonization significantly in broilers.
- Established avian and porcine organoid models for studying host-pathogen interactions.
- Validated digital PCR for monitoring priority antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater plants representing municipalities of different sizes in Wyoming.
- Collaborated with the USDA-APHIS to conduct in-depth molecular characterization of SARS-CoV-2 in white-tail deer and seroprevalence over the course of several years.
Impacts
- Coronaviruses such as PEDV, PDCoV, and BCoV are responsible for respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses in pigs, cattle, and humans. The progresses from three groups have led to a better understanding of the influence of Vitamin A on the gut-mammary gland-secretory IgA axis during pregnancy, as well as the pathogenesis of PDCoV and BCoV. These findings will facilitate the development of more effective vaccines.
- ETEC bacteria are a leading cause of diarrhea in newly-weaned pigs, children in developing countries, and international travelers. A newly-improved vaccine demonstrates superior efficacy in protecting piglets from post-weaning diarrhea, potentially saving hundreds of millions of dollars annually for US swine producers. By incorporating an additional antigen into MecVax to target second-tier ETEC strains, protection of the vaccine will be broadened against children’s and travelers’ diarrhea.
- Zoonotic and foodborne pathogens like Campylobacter, Salmonella, APEC, Clostridium perfringens, and C. difficile pose serious risks to animal and human health. Several groups have developed novel vaccines, small-molecule compounds, and microbiome-based approaches to reduce their colonization in animals and the risk of transmission to humans.
- L. intracellularis is an economically significant pathogen causing hemorrhagic enteritis in pigs. A significant progress has been made in understanding its cellular entry mechanism. Clathrin has been identified for the first time to play a crucial role in the bacteria's endocytosis, potentially paving the way for novel treatment approaches.
- Poultry and swine organoids have been developed by two groups, serving as invaluable tools for studying host-pathogen interactions and the pathogenesis of enteric diseases.
- Several groups have developed and validated tools for monitoring antimicrobial resistance at the population level and SARS-CoV-2 prevalence in wildlife, contributing to characterizing and quantifying the magnitude of these public health challenges.
