Blowflies as vectors of Bacillus anthracis in the Kruger National Park

Basson, Lizanne; Hassim, Ayesha; Dekker, At; Gilbert, Allison; Beyer, Wolfgang; Rossouw, Jennifer; Van Heerden, Henriette (AOSIS Open Journals, 2018-06-26)

Anthrax, caused by Bacillus anthracis, is endemic in the Kruger National Park (KNP). The epidemiology of B. anthracis is dependent on various factors including vectors. The aims of this study were to examine non-biting ...
Ecological suitability modeling for anthrax in the Kruger National Park, South Africa

Steenkamp, Pieter Johan; Van Heerden, Henriette; Van Schalkwyk, Ockert Louis (Public Library of Science, 2018-01-18)

The spores of the soil-borne bacterium, Bacillus anthracis, which causes anthrax are highly resistant to adverse environmental conditions. Under ideal conditions, anthrax spores can survive for many years in the soil. ...
Genomic sequence data and single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping of Bacillus anthracis strains isolated from animal anthrax outbreaks in Northern Cape Province, South Africa

Lekota, Kgaugelo Edward; Hassim, Ayesha; Van Heerden, Henriette (Elsevier, 2020-02)

This report presents genomic data on sequence reads and draft genomes of Bacillus anthracis isolates from anthrax outbreaks in animals in an endemic region of South Africa as well as genotyping of the strains using ...
Phylogenomic structure of Bacillus anthracis isolates in the Northern Cape Province, South Africa revealed novel single nucleotide polymorphisms

Lekota, Kgaugelo Edward; Hassim, Ayesha; Madoroba, Evelyn; Hefer, Charles A.; Van Heerden, Henriette (Elsevier, 2020-06)

Bacillus anthracis, the aetiological agent of anthrax, is regarded as a highly monomorphic pathogen that presents a low genetic diversity using standard molecular techniques. Whole genome sequencing and single nucleotide ...
Polyphasic characterization of Bacillus species from anthrax outbreaks in animals from South Africa and Lesotho

Lekota, Kgaugelo Edward; Hassim, Ayesha; Mafofo, Joseph; Rees, Jasper; Muchadeyi, Farai Catherine; Van Heerden, Henriette; Madoroba, Evelyn (Open Learning on Enteric Pathogens, 2016)

INTRODUCTION : Bacillus anthracis is the causative agent of anthrax, a disease endemic in regions of Northern Cape Province and Kruger National Park of South Africa. Accurate identification of virulent B. anthracis is ...
Protection of farm goats by combinations of recombinant peptides and formalin inactivated spores from a lethal Bacillus anthracis challenge under field conditions

Koehler, Susanne M.; Buyuk, Fatih; Celebi, Ozgur; Demiraslan, Hayati; Doganay, Mehmet; Sahin, Mitat; Moehring, Jens; Ndumnego, Okechukwu Chinazo; Otlu, Salih; Van Heerden, Henriette; Beyer, Wolfgang (BioMed Central, 2017-07-12)

BACKGROUND : Bacillus (B.) anthracis, the causal agent of anthrax, is effectively controlled by the Sterne live spore vaccine (34F2) in animals. However, live spore vaccines are not suitable for simultaneous vaccination ...
The reporting of a Bacillus anthracis B‑clade strain in South Africa after more than 20 years

Lekota, Kgaugelo Edward; Hassim, Ayesha; Rogers, P.; Dekker, E.H.; Last, R.; De Klerk-Lorist, Lin-Mari; Van Heerden, Henriette (BioMed Central, 2018-05-02)

OBJECTIVES : Anthrax is a disease with an age old history in Africa caused by the Gram-positive endospore forming soil bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Epizootics of wild ungulates occur annually in the enzootic region of ...
A unique isolation of a lytic bacteriophage infected Bacillus anthracis isolate from Pafuri, South Africa

Hassim, Ayesha; Lekota, Kgaugelo Edward; Van Dyk, David Schalk; Dekker, Edgar Henry; Van Heerden, Henriette (MDPI, 2020-06-20)

Bacillus anthracis is a soil-borne, Gram-positive endospore-forming bacterium and the causative agent of anthrax. It is enzootic in Pafuri, Kruger National Park in South Africa. The bacterium is amplified in a wild ...
Use of the mice passive protection test to evaluate the humoral response in goats vaccinated with Sterne 34F2 live spore vaccine

Phaswana, P.H.; Ndumnego, Okechukwu Chinazo; Koehler, S.M.; Beyer, W.; Crafford, Jan Ernst; Van Heerden, Henriette (BioMed Central, 2017-09-07)

The Sterne live spore vaccine (34F2) is the most widely used veterinary vaccine against anthrax in animals. Antibody responses to several antigens of Bacillus anthracis have been described with a large focus on those ...
Whole genome sequencing and identification of Bacillus endophyticus and B. anthracis isolated from anthrax outbreaks in South Africa

Lekota, Kgaugelo Edward; Bezuidt, Keoagile Ignatius Oliver; Mafofo, Joseph; Rees, Jasper; Muchadeyi, Farai Catherine; Madoroba, Evelyn; Van Heerden, Henriette (BioMed Central, 2018-07-09)

BACKGROUND : Bacillus endophyticus is a soil plant-endophytic bacterium, while B. anthracis is the causative agent of anthrax. The virulence factors of B. anthracis are the plasmid encoded tripartite toxins (pXO1) and ...
