Comodulation of Dengue and Chikungunya Virus Infection During a Coinfection Scenario in Human Cell Lines

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
The Dengue virus (DENV) and Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) are the arboviruses that pose a threat to global public health. Coinfection and antibody-dependent enhancement are major areas of concern during DENV and CHIKV infections, which can alter the clinical

The Cell Biology of the Trichosporon-Host Interaction [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Fungi of the genus Trichosporon are increasingly recognized as causative agents of superficial and invasive fungal disease in humans. Although most species are considered commensals of the human skin and gastrointestinal tract, these basidiomycetes are an increasing cause of fungal disease among immunocompromised hosts, such as hematological patients ...

ROLE OF METACASPASE IN MALARIA TRANSMISSION BIOLOGY

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023
Intro: A family of apicomplexan-specific proteins contains caspases–like proteins called “metacaspases”. These enzymes are present in the malaria parasite but absent in human, therefore, these can be explored as potential drug targets to combat malaria ...

Epibiosis in decapod crustaceans by stalked barnacle Octolasmis lowei (Cirripedia: Poecilasmatidae)

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2013
Stalked barnacles Octolasmis lowei Darwin, 1851 are frequently found attached to decapod crustaceans. Their epibiotic association depends on many factors, which are mainly related to characteristics of the host's biology.

Within-Host Dynamics of Multi-Species Infections:Facilitation, Competition and Virulence [PDF]

, 2012
Host individuals are often infected with more than one parasite species (parasites defined broadly, to include viruses and bacteria). Yet, research in infection biology is dominated by studies on single-parasite infections.

Exploring differentially expressed genes of S taphylococcus aureus exposed to human tonsillar cells using RNA sequencing

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Background The nose and the throat are the most predominant colonizing sites of Staphylococcus aureus, and colonization is a risk factor for infection. Nasal colonization is well described; however, we have limited knowledge about S.
