A GGDEF and EAL domain-containing protein in Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae regulates virulence via its diguanylate cyclase activity

Phytopathology Research
Kiwifruit bacterial canker (KBC), caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), poses a severe threat to the global kiwifruit industry, highlighting the urgent need to elucidate its pathogenic mechanisms. Cyclic diguanylate monophosphate (c-di-GMP)

Environmental determinants of West Nile virus vector abundance at the wildlife–livestock interface Determinantes ambientales de la abundancia de vectores del virus del Nilo Occidental en la interfaz fauna‐ganado

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 200-215, March 2025.
Mosquito communities in southern inland Iberia are dominated by highly competent vectors of West Nile virus. The coexistence of Culex pipiens and Culex theileri in southern inland Iberia indicates that both species should be involved in West Nile virus transmission.

Avian Influenza Screening in Captive Wild Birds and Biosecurity Appraisal of Zoological Gardens in Southwestern Nigeria

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Avian influenza (AI) is a severe respiratory disease affecting wild and domestic birds globally. There is currently no approved vaccine for AI control in Nigeria. Therefore, biosecurity measures remain the primary preventive strategy. However, there is limited information on the AI carrier status of captive wild birds and the implementation of ...

Rice bacterial blight pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae produces multiple DSF-family signals in regulation of virulence factor production [PDF]

, 2010
Background Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is the causal agent of rice bacterial blight disease. Xoo produces a range of virulence factors, including EPS, extracellular enzyme, iron-chelating siderophores, and type III-secretion dependent effectors ...

The global regulation of c‐di‐GMP and cAMP in bacteria

mLife, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 42-56, March 2024.
Abstract Nucleotide second messengers are highly versatile signaling molecules that regulate a variety of key biological processes in bacteria. The best‐studied examples are cyclic AMP (cAMP) and bis‐(3′–5′)‐cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c‐di‐GMP), which both act as global regulators.

Finders' eaters: Increasing bush encroachment may shift carcass detection from diurnal avian to nocturnal mammalian scavengers

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract Bush encroachment is increasingly becoming a problem for biodiversity conservation in African savannas. While this invasion by woody vegetation may hamper avian scavengers such as vultures, which primarily search by sight, it may benefit mammalian scavengers that search by smell.

A messenger molecule governs interdependency in an evolved Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm community [PDF]

, 2011
Biofilm populations are known to harbor great diversity, but the importance of this diversity is not fully understood. A likely contributor to this variation is the second messenger molecule cyclic-di-GMP: low levels associate with a planktonic lifestyle

Return of the evil genius

Philosophical Investigations, Volume 47, Issue 1, Page 24-31, January 2024.
Abstract In this essay, I consider whether it makes sense to say that our cognitive capacities—remembering, imagining, intending, hoping, expecting and so on—manifest as inner, subpersonal processes. Given whether something makes sense is a grammatical rather than theoretical or empirical issue, it cannot be explained but can only be better understood ...

BolA Is Required for the Accurate Regulation of c-di-GMP, a Central Player in Biofilm Formation [PDF]

, 2017
The bacterial second messenger cyclic dimeric GMP (c-di-GMP) is a nearly ubiquitous intracellular signaling molecule involved in the transition from the motile to the sessile/biofilm state in bacteria.
