BACKGROUND Phagocytosis has been extensively examined in 'professional' phagocytic cells using pH sensitive dyes. However, in many of the previous studies, a separation between the end of internalization, beginning of acidification and completion of phagosomal-endosomal/lysosomal fusion was not clearly established. In addition, very little work has been done to systematically examine phagosomal...

Listeriosis is caused by the food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes, which can be found in seafood and processing plants. To evaluate the risk to human health associated with seafood production in New Zealand, multi-virulence-locus sequence typing (MVLST) was used to define the sequence types (STs) of 31 L. monocytogenes isolates collected from seafood-processing plants, 15 from processed f...

Including individual as a independent random effect in the latent field is implemented the same way in INLA for all case studies in house sparrow population (Gaussian, binomial and Poisson). Note that in the Gaussian case study we have repeated measurements, i.e. possible several observation for each individual random effect, while in the binomial and Poisson cases there are only one observatio...

There is a growing demand for performing larger-scale Bayesian inference tasks, arising from greater data availability and higher-dimensional model parameter spaces. In this work we present parallelization strategies the methodology of integrated nested Laplace approximations (INLA), popular framework approximate on class Latent Gaussian models. Our approach makes use thread-level parallelism, ...
