Zoonotic infections, particularly with viruses or bacteria, continue to be important threats to humans globally. These infections can cause severe inflammatory disease in humans, but may be tolerated by their animal hosts although how this occurs is unclear. Many human diseases have underlying inflammatory aetiologies so determining how diversity in host-pathogen responses occurs across animal species provides unique opportunities not only to identify fundamental inflammatory mechanisms, but also to find new anti-inflammatory therapeutic targets. Previously we found how the zoonotic bacterium Salmonella is sensed by Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) to form macromolecular signalling…
