Viral Hijack of Filamentous Surface Structures in Archaea and Bacteria

Viruses, 2021
The bacterial and archaeal cell surface is decorated with filamentous surface structures that are used for different functions, such as motility, DNA exchange and biofilm formation. Viruses hijack these structures and use them to ride to the cell surface

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.

The nucleotide specificity of succinyl‐CoA synthetase of Plasmodium falciparum is not determined by charged gatekeeper residues alone

FEBS Open Bio, 2021
Substrate specificity of an enzyme is an important characteristic of its mechanism of action. Investigation of the nucleotide specificity of Plasmodium falciparum succinyl‐CoA synthetase (SCS; PfSCS) would provide crucial insights of its substrate ...

Host sexual dimorphism and parasite adaptation [PDF]

, 2012
In species with separate sexes, parasite prevalence and disease expression is often different between males and females. This effect has mainly been attributed to sex differences in host traits, such as immune response.

Co-infections as Modulators of Disease Outcome: Minor Players or Major Players?

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Human host and pathogen interaction is dynamic in nature and often modulated by co-pathogens with a functional role in delineating the physiological outcome of infection.

Comparing the infection biology of Plasmodiophora brassicae primary and secondary zoospores in host and non-host

, 2022
Plasmodiophora brassicae (Wor.) is an obligate plant pathogen affecting Brassicae worldwide. The cycle of P.brassicae consists of a primary phase by primary zoospores infection in root hairs and followed a secondary phase by secondary zoospores infection

Deep sequencing revealed molecular signature of horizontal gene transfer of plant like transcripts in the mosquito Anopheles culicifacies: an evolutionary puzzle [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2015
In prokaryotes, horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has been regarded as an important evolutionary drive to acquire and retain beneficial genes for their survival in diverse ecologies.

Genotypic virulence profiles and associations in Salmonella isolated from meat samples in wet markets and abattoirs of Metro Manila, Philippines

BMC Microbiology, 2022
Background Salmonella are pathogenic foodborne bacteria with complex pathogenicity from numerous virulence genes housed in Salmonella pathogenicity islands (SPIs), plasmids, and other gene cassettes.

Salivary glands harbor more diverse microbial communities than gut in Anopheles culicifacies

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background In recent years, it has been well documented that gut flora not only influence mosquito physiology, but also significantly alter vector competency.

Interorgan Molecular Communication Strategies of “Local” and “Systemic” Innate Immune Responses in Mosquito Anopheles stephensi

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Mosquitoes that transmit many deadly infectious diseases also need to keep fighting against many microbial infections. Constitutive expression of multiple antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in almost all body tissues is believed to facilitate the effective ...
