Common strategies for antigenic variation by bacterial, fungal and protozoan pathogens [PDF]
The complex relationships between infectious organisms and their hosts often reflect the continuing struggle of the pathogen to proliferate and spread to new hosts, and the need of the infected individual to control and potentially eradicate the infecting population.

Opportunities for integrated pest management to control the poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae [PDF]
Dermanyssus gallinae is the most economically important ectoparasite of laying hens in Europe. Control of D. gallinae is already hampered by issues of pesticide resistance and product withdrawal and, with the prohibition of conventional cages in 2012 and

The Role of Gut-Derived Microbial Antigens on Liver Fibrosis Initiation and Progression
Intestinal dysbiosis has recently become known as an important driver of gastrointestinal and liver disease. It remains poorly understood, however, how gastrointestinal microbes bypass the intestinal mucosa and enter systemic circulation to enact an ...

A Model Vaccine Exploiting Fungal Mannosylation to Increase Antigen Immunogenicity [PDF]
Abstract Ag mannosylation represents a promising strategy to augment vaccine immunogenicity by targeting Ag to mannose receptors (MRs) on dendritic cells. Because fungi naturally mannosylate proteins, we hypothesized that Ags engineered in fungi would have an enhanced capacity to stimulate T cell responses.
