Abstract Human activity is a major driver of ecological and evolutionary change in wild populations and can have diverse effects on eukaryotic organisms as well as on environmental and host‐associated microbial communities. Although host–microbiome interactions can be a major determinant of host fitness, few studies consider the joint responses of ...

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) is spirochetes transmitted by ticks and known to cause Lyme disease. Chlamydia‐like organisms (CLOs) comprise a large group of bacteria that can lead to serious health disorders, including miscarriage. Recently, CLOs have been found in ticks and patient skin biopsies.

Trends in Bacterial Pathogens of Bats: Global Distribution and Knowledge Gaps
Bats have received considerable recent attention for infectious disease research because of their potential to host and transmit viruses, including Ebola, Hendra, Nipah, and multiple coronaviruses. These pathogens are occasionally transmitted from bats to wildlife, livestock, and to humans, directly or through other bridging (intermediate) hosts.

Abstract Birds can act as successful long‐distance vectors and reservoirs for numerous zoonotic bacterial, parasitic and viral pathogens, which can be a concern given the interconnectedness of animal, human and environmental health. Examples of such avian pathogens are members of the genus Chlamydia. Presently, there is a lack of research investigating

The trp attenuator and its trans‐acting products in Sinorhizobium meliloti Abstract Gene expression strategies ensuring bacterial survival and competitiveness rely on cis‐ and trans‐acting RNA‐regulators (riboregulators). Among the cis‐acting riboregulators are transcriptional and translational attenuators, and antisense RNAs (asRNAs). The trans‐acting

Urbanization comprehensively impairs biological rhythms in coral holobionts
By exploring the annual, monthly, and diel biological cycles we show how key physiological and metabolical processes are changed or masked in the lifespan of coral reefs in urban areas. Abstract Coral reefs are in global decline due to climate change and anthropogenic influences (Hughes et al., Conservation Biology, 27: 261–269, 2013).

Summary Zoonotic diseases, such as brucellosis, Q fever and Rift Valley fever (RVF) caused by Brucella spp., Coxiella burnetii and RVF virus, respectively, can have devastating effects on human, livestock, and wildlife health and cause economic hardship due to morbidity and mortality in livestock.

Cadmium‐tolerant bacteria: current trends and applications in agriculture
Significance and Impact of the Study: Crop production is adversely affected by the presence of heavy metals in soils dedicated to agriculture. These metals ultimately accumulate in seeds or edible parts and enter the human food chain. The application of cadmium (Cd)‐tolerant bacteria capacities for Cd immobilization and sequestration, in combination ...

Habitat shapes diversity of gut microbiomes in a wild population of blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus
Microbiome constitutes an important axis of individual variation that, together with genes and the environment, influences an individual's physiology and fitness. Microbiomes are dependent not only on an individual's body condition but also on external factors, such as diet or stress levels, and as such can be involved into feedbacks between the ...

The Chlamydiales Pangenome Revisited: Structural Stability and Functional Coherence [PDF]
The entire publicly available set of 37 genome sequences from the bacterial order Chlamydiales has been subjected to comparative analysis in order to reveal the salient features of this pangenome and its evolutionary history. Over 2,000 protein families are detected across multiple species, with a distribution consistent to other studied pangenomes. Of
