Appendage regeneration is context dependent at the cellular level

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2021
Species that can regrow their lost appendages have been studied with the ultimate aim of developing methods to enable human limb regeneration. These examinations highlight that appendage regeneration progresses through shared tissue stages and gene ...

The Case for Exploiting Cross-Species Epitopes in Malaria Vaccine Design

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
The infection dynamics between different species of Plasmodium that infect the same human host can both suppress and exacerbate disease. This could arise from inter-parasite interactions, such as competition, from immune regulation, or both.

A human-blood-derived microRNA facilitates flavivirus infection in fed mosquitoes

open access: yesCell Reports, 2021
Summary: Hematophagous arthropods, such as mosquitoes, naturally carry and transmit hundreds of arboviruses to humans. Blood meal is a predominant physical interface that shapes cross-species communications among humans, bloodsuckers, and arboviruses ...

Small Ruminant Lentiviruses (SRLVs) Break the Species Barrier to Acquire New Host Range

open access: yesViruses, 2013
Zoonotic events of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) from non-human primates to humans have generated the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), one of the most devastating infectious disease of the last century with more than 30 million people ...

Reassortment Network of Influenza A Virus

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Influenza A virus (IAV) genomes are composed of eight single-stranded RNA segments. Genetic exchange through reassortment of the segmented genomes often endows IAVs with new genetic characteristics, which may affect transmissibility and pathogenicity of ...

Cross–species familiarity in shoaling fishes [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003
Preferential association with familiar shoal mates confers a number of potentially important benefits to individuals, including improved anti-predator effects and the reduction of aggression in competitive interactions. Until now, however, familiarity has been demonstrated purely between conspecifics.

Cross-species transmission of CWD prions [PDF]

open access: yesPrion, 2016
Prions cause fatal neurodegenerative diseases in humans and animals and can be transmitted zoonotically. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a highly transmissible prion disease of wild deer and elk that affects cervids over extensive regions of the United States and Canada. The risk of cross-species CWD transmission has been experimentally evaluated in a

Comparative proteomic responses of Paranosema locustae spores to desiccation and ultraviolet irradiation

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
Environmental persistence is essential for the efficacy of the microsporidian parasite Paranosema locustae (P. locustae), yet the molecular mechanisms underlying its tolerance to desiccation and ultraviolet (UV) stress remain poorly understood.
