Trypanorhynch Assemblages Indicate Ecological and Phylogenetical Attributes of Their Elasmobranch Final Hosts [PDF]
, 2017 This study explores non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) as a tool for investigating parasites as indicators of the elasmobranch biology. An attractive feature of nMDS is its ability to allow assemblage-level parasite data to be simultaneously ...

Coevolution Maintains Diversity in the Stochastic "Kill the Winner" Model
, 2017 The "Kill the Winner" hypothesis is an attempt to address the problem of diversity in biology. It argues that host-specific predators control the population of each prey, preventing a winner from emerging and thus maintaining the coexistence of all ...

Host Plants of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in the Americas
African Entomology, 2018 The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith, 1797) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is the most important noctuid pest in the Americas and has recently become an invasive pest in Africa. A detailed record of S.

The evolution, distribution and diversity of endogenous circoviral elements in vertebrate genomes [PDF]
, 2018 Circoviruses (family Circoviridae) are small, non-enveloped viruses that have short, single-stranded DNA genomes. Circovirus sequences are frequently recovered in metagenomic investigations, indicating that these viruses are widespread, yet they remain ...

Next-generation microbiology: from comparative genomics to gene function
Genome Biology, 2021 Microbiology is at a turning point in its 120-year history. Widespread next-generation sequencing has revealed genetic complexity among bacteria that could hardly have been imagined by pioneers such as Pasteur, Escherich and Koch.

Systems Biology Approaches for Host–Fungal Interactions: An Expanding Multi-Omics Frontier
Omics, 2016 Opportunistic fungal infections are an increasing threat for global health, and for immunocompromised patients in particular. These infections are characterized by interaction between fungal pathogen and host cells. The exact mechanisms and the attendant

A review on computational systems biology of pathogen–host interactions
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Pathogens manipulate the cellular mechanisms of host organisms via pathogen–host interactions (PHIs) in order to take advantage of the capabilities of host cells, leading to infections.
