Genetic Evidence for an Interferon-Antagonistic Function of Rift Valley Fever Virus Nonstructural Protein NSs

Bouloy, Michèle, Janzen, Christian, Vialat, Pierre, Khun, Huot, Pavlovic, Jovan, Huerre, Michel, ...

Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV), a phlebovirus of the family Bunyaviridae, is a major public health threat in Egypt and sub-Saharan Africa. The viral and host cellular factors that contribute to RVFV...

Targeting and crossing of the human maternofetal barrier by Listeria monocytogenes: Role of internalin interaction with trophoblast E-cadherin

Lecuit, Marc, Nelson, D. Michael, Smith, Steve D., Khun, Huot, Huerre, Michel, Vacher-Lavenu, Marie-Cécile, ...

Listeria monocytogenes produces severe fetoplacental infections in humans. How it targets and crosses the maternofetal barrier is unknown. We used immunohistochemistry to examine the location of L....

Roles of Cell Adhesion and Cytoskeleton Activity in Entamoeba histolytica Pathogenesis: a Delicate Balance

Tavares, Paulo, Rigothier, Marie-Christine, Khun, Huot, Roux, Pascal, Huerre, Michel, Guillén, Nancy

The protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica colonizes the human large bowel. Invasion of the intestinal epithelium causes amoebic colitis and opens the route for amoebic liver abscesses. The...
