Amphibian chytridiomycosis : a review with focus on fungus-host interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Amphibian declines and extinctions are emblematic for the current sixth mass extinction event. Infectious drivers of these declines include the recently emerged fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans ...

Genome landscapes and bacteriophage codon usage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Across all kingdoms of biological life, protein-coding genes exhibit unequal usage of synonmous codons. Although alternative theories abound, translational selection has been accepted as an important mechanism that shapes the patterns of codon usage in ...

Host range, host specificity and hypothesized host shift events among viruses of lower vertebrates

open access: yesVeterinary Research, 2011
The successful replication of a viral agent in a host is a complex process that often leads to a species specificity of the virus and can make interspecies transmission difficult.

Viral protein instability enhances host-range evolvability.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2022
Viruses are highly evolvable, but what traits endow this property? The high mutation rates of viruses certainly play a role, but factors that act above the genetic code, like protein thermostability, are also expected to contribute.

A Novel Broad Host Range Phage Infecting Alteromonas

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Bacteriophages substantially contribute to bacterial mortality in the ocean and play critical roles in global biogeochemical processes. Alteromonas is a ubiquitous bacterial genus in global tropical and temperate waters, which can cross-protect marine ...

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

open access: yesViruses, 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 Food Plants and Distribution of the American Plum Borer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The North American geographical and host plant distributions for the American plnm borer, Euzophera semifuneralis, are reported. Literature and curatorial surveys found the plum borer to be present in 34 states in the U. S.
