Dual RNA-seq of parasite and host reveals gene expression dynamics during filarial worm–mosquito interactions [PDF]

, 2014
Parasite biology, by its very nature, cannot be understood without integrating it with that of the host, nor can the host response be adequately explained without considering the activity of the parasite.

Evolution of spatially structured host–parasite interactions [PDF]

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2015
AbstractSpatial structure has dramatic effects on the demography and the evolution of species. A large variety of theoretical models have attempted to understand how local dispersal may shape the coevolution of interacting species such as host–parasite interactions.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Butyrate reduces adherent-invasive E. coli-evoked disruption of epithelial mitochondrial morphology and barrier function: involvement of free fatty acid receptor 3

Gut Microbes, 2023
Gut bacteria provide benefits to the host and have been implicated in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), where adherent-invasive E. coli (AIEC) pathobionts (e.g., strain LF82) are associated with Crohn’s disease. E.

Neurophysiological Changes Induced by Chronic Toxoplasma gondii Infection [PDF]

, 2017
Although the parasite Toxoplasma gondii is one of the most pervasive neurotropic pathogens in the world, the host-parasite interactions during CNS infection and the consequences of neurological infection are just beginning to be unraveled.

Host–parasite interactions: an intimate epigenetic relationship [PDF]

Cellular Microbiology, 2015
The epigenetics of host-pathogen interactions is emerging as an interesting angle from which to study how parasites have evolved sophisticated strategies to manipulate host gene transcription and protein expression. In this review, we discuss the application of an operational framework to investigate the host cell signalling pathways that are induced ...

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Regulation and Roles of Metacyclogenesis and Epimastigogenesis in the Life Cycle of Trypanosoma cruzi

Pathogens
Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease, exhibits remarkable developmental plasticity that enables its survival across distinct environments within the insect vector and mammalian host.

Chlamydia trachomatis Inclusion Membrane Protein CT228 Recruits Elements of the Myosin Phosphatase Pathway to Regulate Release Mechanisms

Cell Reports, 2013
Chlamydia trachomatis replicates within a membrane-bound compartment termed an inclusion. The inclusion membrane is modified by the insertion of multiple proteins known as Incs. In a yeast two-hybrid screen, an interaction was found between the inclusion

Natural history of Arabidopsis thaliana and oomycete symbioses [PDF]

, 2008
Molecular ecology of plant–microbe interactions has immediate significance for filling a gap in knowledge between the laboratory discipline of molecular biology and the largely theoretical discipline of evolutionary ecology.
