Investigation of the Blood Microbiome in Horses With Fever of Unknown Origin
ABSTRACT Background Fever of unknown origin (FUO) without a respiratory component is a frequent clinical presentation in horses. Multiple pathogens, both tick‐borne and enteric, can be involved as etiologic agents. An additional potential mechanism is intestinal barrier dysfunction.

We summarize the recent progress in understanding defense mechanisms in specific tissues or sites that are encountered by arboviruses and discuss their possible roles in virus infection or transmission. Abstract Ticks can transmit many pathogens, including arboviruses, to their vertebrate hosts.

Know Your ABCs: Discovery, Differentiation, and Targeting of T‐Bet+ B Cells
ABSTRACT Since their first description in 2008, T‐bet+ B cells have emerged as a clinically important B cell subset. Now commonly known as ABCs (Age‐associated B Cells), they are uniquely characterized by their expression of the transcription factor T‐bet. Indeed, this singular factor defines this B cell subset.

Cell signaling in Ehrlichia infection and cancer: Parallels in pathogenesis
Ehrlichia chaffeensis (E. chaffeensis) has recently emerged as an intracellular bacterial pathogen with sophisticated survival mechanisms that include repurposing evolutionarily conserved eukaryotic cell signaling pathways for immune evasion.

The Wolbachia Genome of Brugia malayi: Endosymbiont Evolution within a Human Pathogenic Nematode [PDF]
Complete genome DNA sequence and analysis is presented for Wolbachia, the obligate alpha-proteobacterial endosymbiont required for fertility and survival of the human filarial parasitic nematode Brugia malayi. Although, quantitatively, the genome is even

Abstract Mortality events of marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) have been historically described in the southern margins of its geographical range. Few documented cases show how environmental changes and pathogens interact to trigger mortality scenarios and reveal their causes.

Economic game theory to model the attenuation of virulence of an obligate intracellular bacterium [PDF]
Diseases induced by obligate intracellular pathogens have a large burden on global human and animal health. Understanding the factors involved in the virulence and fitness of these pathogens contributes to the development of control strategies against ...
