The genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes of the carrot weevil, Listronotus oregonensis, reveal adaptive mechanisms for host specialisation and symbiotic interactions

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Comprehensive genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes reveal 14,637 genes in Listronotus oregonensis, advancing genetic insights into a key agricultural pest. Compared with related species, L. oregonensis exhibits reduced chemoreceptor gene families but expanded detoxification gene clusters, reflecting its narrow host range and adaptability.

A Comparative Genomic Approach to Determine the Virulence Factors and Horizontal Gene Transfer Events of Clinical Acanthamoeba Isolates

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Acanthamoeba species are among the most ubiquitous protists that are widespread in soil and water and act as both a replicative niche and vectors for dispersal. They are the most important human intracellular pathogens, causing Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK)

Tardigrade Community Microbiomes in North American Orchards Include Putative Endosymbionts and Plant Pathogens

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The microbiome of tardigrades, a phylum of microscopic animals best known for their ability to survive extreme conditions, is poorly studied worldwide and completely unknown in North America. An improved understanding of tardigrade-associated bacteria is

Francisella-like Endosymbionts of Ticks

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2000
Ticks affect human and animal health both directly by their blood feeding and indirectly by transmission of many disease-causing bacteria, such as Rickettsia, Ehrlichia, Borrelia, Coxiella, Cowdria, Anaplasma, Aegyptionella, and Tularemia, as well as many viruses (Piesman and Gage, 1996).

Responses of Root Microbiome and Metabolome Are Linked to Crop Disease Severity

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant microorganisms are an essential component of the host and perform critical functions in plant development and health. Emerging evidence shows that plants use their root exudates to recruit beneficial microbes that protect them against abiotic and biotic stresses, including diseases.

Stochasticity Prevails but Differs: Tissue‐Specific Assembly of Gut Microbiomes Across Seasons in an Amphibian Model

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Amphibian gut microbiomes exhibit a temporal‐decay pattern in abundance‐unweighted intercommunity indices rather than abundance‐weighted indices. Stochastic processes play a dominant role in the gut microbiome assembly. Deterministic processes contribute more to large‐intestine microbiomes than to small‐intestine microbiomes.

Endosymbion microbials low abundance of Nilaparvata lugens (Stal) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) from Indonesia rice production center based on metagenomic study using 16Sr RNA [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Insects have a long history of association with endosymbiont microbes. There are several indications that endosymbiont microbes are associated with insects and participate in the degradation of organic and inorganic molecules.

Symbiotic Life of Echinoderm Larvae

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Echinoderm larvae have served as a fundamental system for understanding development and life history evolution over much of the last century. In the last few decades, our understanding of echinoderm larvae has expanded to the microbiota that they ...

Cascading effects of defensive endosymbionts [PDF]

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2019
Defensive endosymbionts are now understood to be widespread among insects, targeting many different threats, including predators, parasites and disease. The effects on natural enemies can be significant, resulting in dramatic changes in the outcome of interactions between insects and their attackers.
