Comparative host specificity of human- and pig- associated Staphylococcus aureus clonal lineages. [PDF]
, 2012 Bacterial adhesion is a crucial step in colonization of the skin. In this study, we investigated the differential adherence to human and pig corneocytes of six Staphylococcus aureus strains belonging to three human-associated [ST8 (CC8), ST22 (CC22) and ...

Argasid Ticks of Palearctic Bats: Distribution, Host Selection, and Zoonotic Importance
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 The soft ticks (Ixodida: Argasidae) are ectoparasites of terrestrial vertebrates with a wide geographic distribution, occurring on all continents. These ticks are obligate blood-feeders, most of them show high degrees of host-specialization and several ...

Host Plant Specificity in Web-Building Spiders
Insects, 2023 Spiders are ubiquitous generalist predators playing an important role in regulating insect populations in many ecosystems. Traditionally they have not been thought to have strong influences on, or interactions with plants.

, 1982 A review the various patterns of tick-host relationships are discussed in detail in order to answer the following questions : 1. How, when and where did host specificity of each parasite group evolve ? 2. How strict is specificity in each case ? 3. Why and under what circumstances does specificity break down ?

Host Specificity of Bacterial Pathogens [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2013 Most pathogens are able to infect multiple hosts but some are highly adapted to a single-host species. A detailed understanding of the basis of host specificity can provide important insights into molecular pathogenesis, the evolution of pathogenic microbes, and the potential for pathogens to cross the species barrier to infect new hosts.

Host specificities of RNA phages [PDF]
Journal of Hygiene, 1972 SUMMARYHost ranges of members of four groups of male-specific RNA coliphages were determined by plating on hosts carrying various derepressed plasmids. An RNA phage originally isolated onPseudomonas aeruginosafailed to form plaques on any of the strains ofEscherichia coli.

Morphological and molecular studies of the nematode parasite Heterakis gallinarum (Heterakidae) infecting the cattle egret Bubulcus ibis (Ardeidae) [PDF]
Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2023 Parasites infecting migratory birds all over the world are still under investigation. The identification of parasitic taxa infecting ardeids was done concerning their morphological and morphometric features.
