Host specificity of the gut microbiome
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2021Developing general principles of host-microorganism interactions necessitates a robust understanding of the eco-evolutionary processes that structure microbiota. Phylosymbiosis, or patterns of microbiome composition that can be predicted by host phylogeny, is a unique framework for interrogating these processes.

Host Specificity in Subarctic Aphids
Environmental Entomology, 2017Plants and herbivorous (or parasitic) insects form the majority of macroscopic life. The specificity of interaction between host plant and parasitic insect depends on the adaptations of both the host and the parasite. Over time, these interactions evolve and change as a result of an 'arms race' between host and parasite, and the resulting species ...

Host specificity of avian metapneumoviruses
Avian Pathology, 2019To date, four subgroups of avian metapneumoviruses have been defined (AMPV-A, B, C and D) based on genetic and antigenic differences. The extent of infection in the three principal species (turkeys, chickens and ducks) by these subgroups is, however, not well defined.

Insights in Bartonella Host Specificity
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009The genus Bartonella comprises a unique group of emerging gram‐negative, intracellular bacteria that can cause a long‐lasting intraerythrocytic bacteremia in their reservoir hosts. In recent years, the widespread occurrence and diversity of these bacteria has been increasingly recognized.

Physiological Host Specificity of Microsporidia as an Indicator of Ecological Host Specificity
Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1998For most groups of biological control agents the relationship between laboratory (physiological) host range and the host range in the field (ecological host range) has not been explored empirically. The objective of our study was to investigate this relationship using the North America gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, as a model nontarget host for ...

Host specificity of avian coccidia
Parasitology Today, 1986The term 'species specific' in reference to the host specificity of avian coccidia, has been used rather loosely for many years. A strong belief in strict species specificity has led to many new species of coccidia being described from oocysts isolated from the faeces of wild birds, primarily on the grounds that no coccidium had previously been ...

Experimental host specificity of Posthodiplostomum minimum
Experimental Parasitology, 1965Abstract Parasite-free snails of the genus Physa were experimentally infected with the miracidia of Posthodiplostomum minimum, the metacercariae of which were originally obtained from bluegills, Lepomis macrochirus. Twelve species of fish representing 5 families (Cyprinidae, Cichlidae, Centrarchidae, Poeciliidae and Ictaluridae) were exposed to ...

Mycoplasma host specificity: Fact or fiction?
The Veterinary Journal, 2005Bacteria of the genus Mycoplasma are the smallest organisms known to be capable of self-replication. They only occur in association with animal host cells on which they are dependant for many pre-formed nutrients since they lack many of the metabolic pathways associated with energy production and the synthesis of cell components found in other species ...

Host Specificity in Xanthomonas
Nature, 1958Burkholder and Starr1 stated that “unequivocal identification by laboratory procedures of all Xanthomonas species is as yet an impossibility”, and there has been no change in this position in recent years2,3. The diagnosis of Xanthomonas species therefore depends on the host specificity of the organisms.

Intermediate host specificity in Schistosoma mansoni
Experimental Parasitology, 1976Abstract Miracidia of Schistosoma mansoni penetrate into many kinds of snails, but development of normal sporocysts takes place only in certain species of Biomphalaria . Different populations of this snail vary greatly in laboratory infection rates with S. mansoni originating from diverse geographic localities.
