Determinants of Host Range Specificity in Legume-Rhizobia Symbiosis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Leguminous plants possess the almost unique ability to enter symbiosis with soil-resident, nitrogen fixing bacteria called rhizobia. During this symbiosis, the bacteria physically colonize specialized organs on the roots of the host plant called nodules,

Stochastic spatial models of host-pathogen and host-mutualist interactions I
, 2006 Mutualists and pathogens, collectively called symbionts, are ubiquitous in plant communities. While some symbionts are highly host-specific, others associate with multiple hosts.

A comprehensive survey of Rhinonyssid mites (Mesostigmata: Rhinonyssidae) in Northwest Russia: New mite-host associations and prevalence data [PDF]
, 2020 Background: Rhinonyssid mites are permanent parasites of birds that inhabit their respiratory tract. There are around 600 species described worldwide and almost all species of birds are found to have embedded rhinonyssid mites.

Host range, host specificity and hypothesized host shift events among viruses of lower vertebrates
Veterinary Research, 2011 The successful replication of a viral agent in a host is a complex process that often leads to a species specificity of the virus and can make interspecies transmission difficult.

STAT2 Limits Host Species Specificity of Human Metapneumovirus
Viruses, 2020 The host tropism of viral infection is determined by a variety of factors, from cell surface receptors to innate immune signaling. Many viruses encode proteins that interfere with host innate immune recognition in order to promote infection.

Strength through diversity: how cancers thrive when clones cooperate
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Intratumor heterogeneity can offer direct benefits to the tumor through cooperation between different clones. In this review, Kuiken et al. discuss existing evidence for clonal cooperativity to identify overarching principles, and highlight how novel technological developments could address remaining open questions.

The development of techniques to distinguish species and strains of giardia : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University [PDF]
, 1995 Water supplies, in some rural areas of New Zealand, contain Giardia cysts. This is assumed to make the water unsuitable for human consumption. G. intestinalis and/or G. muris cysts may be present but are not distinguished by the standard test. G.

ATF4‐mediated stress response as a therapeutic vulnerability in chordoma
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We screened 5 chordoma cell lines against 100+ inhibitors of epigenetic and metabolic pathways and kinases and identified halofuginone, a tRNA synthetase inhibitor. Mechanistically halofuginone induces an integrated stress response, with eIF2alpha phosphorylation, activation of ATF4 and its target genes CHOP, ASNS, INHBE leading to cell death ...
