Livestock abundance predicts vampire bat demography, immune profiles, and bacterial infection risk [PDF]
Human activities create novel food resources that can alter wildlife–pathogen interactions. If resources amplify or dampen, pathogen transmission probably depends on both host ecology and pathogen biology, but studies that measure responses to ...

Negative interactions and virulence differences drive the dynamics in multispecies bacterial infections [PDF]
Bacterial infections are often polymicrobial, leading to intricate pathogen–pathogen and pathogen–host interactions. There is increasing interest in studying the molecular basis of pathogen interactions and how such mechanisms impact host morbidity ...

The role of effectors in nonhost resistance to filamentous plant pathogens [PDF]
In nature, most plants are resistant to a wide range of phytopathogens. However, mechanisms contributing to this so-called nonhost resistance (NHR) are poorly understood.

Adaptive Dynamics of Pathogen-Host Interactions [PDF]
This paper explains why the traditional approach of predicting evolutionary outcomes by maximizing the basic reproduction ratio of a disease is not always appropriate.

The roles of GpsB and DivIVA in Staphylococcus aureus growth and division
The spheroid bacterium Staphylococcus aureus is often used as a model of morphogenesis due to its apparently simple cell cycle. S. aureus has many cell division proteins that are conserved across bacteria alluding to common functions.

Pathogen-reactive T helper cell analysis in the pig [PDF]
There is growing interest in studying host-pathogen interactions in human-relevant large animal models such as the pig. Despite the progress in developing immunological reagents for porcine T cell research, there is an urgent need to directly assess ...

High-throughput Microscopic Analysis of Salmonella Invasion of Host Cells
Salmonella is a Gram-negative bacterium causing a gastro-enteric disease called salmonellosis. During the first phase of infection, Salmonella uses its flagella to swim near the surface of the epithelial cells and to target specific site of infection. In
