Identification of genes associated with survival of Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis in chicken egg albumen

Article Abstract:

Genes important for the association of Salmonella enterica Serovar enteritidis with chicken eggs were identified through transposon-mediated mutagenesis in a study. Results indicate that genes involved in cell wall structural and functional integrity, and nuclei acid and amino acid metabolism are important and Serovar Enteritidis is the only bacterium transmitted to humans through intact chicken eggs and its survival in eggs is necessary for transmission to the human population.

Effects of salivary gland hypertrophy virus on the reproductive behavior of the housefly, Musca domestica

Article Abstract:

The effects of Musca domestica salivary gland hypertrophy virus (MdSGHV) infection on the reproductive fitness and mating success of adult houseflies are assessed. The results have shown that MdSGHV-infected males have not displayed azoospermia and the virus is not sexually or vertically transmitted.

Isolation of salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis from houseflies (Musca domestica) found in rooms containing salmonella serovar enteritidis-challenged hens

Article Abstract:

The houseflies were freed in a room containing hens infected with salmonella serovar enteritidis to examine the time period and the state of transmission. Results concluded that the flies got infected within 4 to7 days and transmitting their infection.
