Comparison of the potential activities of viral and bacterial chitinases
Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2021 Background Chitin, a long-chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine, is a major structural component of the insect exoskeleton and the peritrophic membrane (PM). Chitinases are able to effectively break down glycosidic bonds of chitin polymer thus can be used

Resource quality determines the evolution of resistance and its genetic basis
Molecular Ecology, Volume 29, Issue 21, Page 4128-4142, November 2020., 2020 Abstract Parasites impose strong selection on their hosts, but the level of any evolved resistance may be constrained by the availability of resources. However, studies identifying the genomic basis of such resource‐mediated selection are rare, particularly in nonmodel organisms.
