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.

Parasite host range and the evolution of host resistance [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2015 AbstractParasite host range plays a pivotal role in the evolution and ecology of hosts and the emergence of infectious disease. Although the factors that promote host range and the epidemiological consequences of variation in host range are relatively well characterized, the effect of parasite host range on host resistance evolution is less well ...

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 ...

Drivers and consequences of bacteriophage host range
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2023 Abstract Bacteriophages are obligate parasites of bacteria characterized by the breadth of hosts that they can infect. This “host range” depends on the genotypes and morphologies of the phage and the bacterial host, but also on the environment in which they are interacting.

Poxviruses and the evolution of host range and virulence [PDF]
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2014 Poxviruses as a group can infect a large number of animals. However, at the level of individual viruses, even closely related poxviruses display highly diverse host ranges and virulence. For example, variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox, is human-specific and highly virulent only to humans, whereas related cowpox viruses naturally infect a ...

The Host R-M Systems Change the Host Range of Staphylococcus Phage EBHT. [PDF]
MicrobiologyopenTherapeutically 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

The Current Host Range of Hepatitis E Viruses
Viruses, 2019 Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging zoonotic pathogen transmitting both human to human via the fecal oral route and from animals to humans through feces, direct contact, and consumption of contaminated meat products.

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 ...
