Genes involved in the pathogenesis and control of haemophilus parasuis infections in pigs

Objective

The Path Chip project proposes to identify genes critical in host/pathogen interactions by studying pigs infected with Haemophilic paresis. We will find the relevant genes by identifying genes that are differentially expressed during infection. Pigs of different genetic backgrounds will be experimentally infected and host and bacterial RNA collected from different sites at various times post-infection. Microarray technology and subtracted cDNA libraries will be used to find the differentially expressed genes. Sequencing of these differentially expressed bacterial and host genes and the use of sophisticated bioinorganic tools will be used to determine the proteins these genes encode and biological pathways they control. This information will provide a rational basis for developing novel anti-infective and methods for identifying disease resistant animals.
