Bacteriophages and Their Host Range in Multidrug-Resistant Bacterial Disease Treatment

Pharmaceuticals, 2023
The rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in recent times has prompted the search for new and more potent antibiotics. Bacteriophages (commonly known as phages) are viruses that target and infect their bacterial hosts.

Poxvirus Host Range Genes and Virus–Host Spectrum: A Critical Review

Viruses, 2017
The Poxviridae family is comprised of double-stranded DNA viruses belonging to nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDV). Among the NCLDV, poxviruses exhibit the widest known host range, which is likely observed because this viral family has been more ...

The Host R‐M Systems Change the Host Range of Staphylococcus Phage EBHT [PDF]

MicrobiologyOpen
Therapeutically utilized phages should optimally be produced in defined bacterial strains that are free of prophages and virulence factors. However, phage–host interactions in these production strains may be very different from clinical strains. Here, we

Wide geographic distribution of overlooked parasites: Rare Microsporidia in Gammarus balcanicus, a species complex with a high rate of endemism

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021
Parasites and other symbionts deeply influence host organisms, and no living organism can be considered to have evolved independent of its symbionts. The first step towards understanding symbiotic influences upon host organisms is a strong supporting ...

Susceptibility of the Gypsy Moth Lymantria dispar (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) to Nosema pyrausta (Microsporidia: Nosematidae)

Insects, 2021
The gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, is a notorious forest defoliator, and various pathogens are known to act as natural regulators of its population density. As a widespread herbivore with a broad range of inhabited areas and host plants, it is potentially

Invasion success of a scarab beetle within its native range: host range expansion versus host-shift [PDF]

PeerJ, 2014
Only recently has it been formally acknowledged that native species can occasionally reach the status of ‘pest’ or ‘invasive species’ within their own native range. The study of such species has potential to help unravel fundamental aspects of biological
