Aphid–Plant–Phytovirus Pathosystems: Influencing Factors from Vector Behaviour to Virus Spread
Agriculture, 2021 Aphids are responsible for the spread of more than half of the known phytovirus species. Virus transmission within the plant–aphid–phytovirus pathosystem depends on vector mobility which allows the aphid to reach its host plant and on vector efficiency ...

Agriculture, 2023 In natural habitats, there is a strong evolutionary selection pressure on herbivorous insects to avoid danger and choose suitable host plants. Similar selection pressures may drive movement and choices of oviposition hosts by herbivorous insects living ...

Coccidioidomycosis in selected immunosuppressed hosts [PDF]
Medical Mycology, 2018 After contracting coccidioidomycosis, persons with impaired cellular immunity are more likely than healthy persons to have severe infection, disseminated infection, and higher mortality rates. In this brief review, we summarize the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of coccidioidomycosis in persons infected with human ...

Hosts and Heterologous Expression Strategies of Recombinant Toxins for Therapeutic Purposes
Toxins, 2023 The production of therapeutic recombinant toxins requires careful host cell selection. Bacteria, yeast, and mammalian cells are common choices, but no universal solution exists.

Multi-host environments select for host-generalist conjugative plasmids [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2016 Conjugative plasmids play an important role in bacterial evolution by transferring ecologically important genes within and between species. A key limit on interspecific horizontal gene transfer is plasmid host range. Here, we experimentally test the effect of single and multi-host environments on the host-range evolution of a large conjugative mercury ...

High Rate of Non-Human Feeding by Aedes aegypti Reduces Zika Virus Transmission in South Texas
Viruses, 2020 Mosquito-borne viruses are emerging or re-emerging globally, afflicting millions of people around the world. Aedes aegypti, the yellow fever mosquito, is the principal vector of dengue, Zika, and chikungunya viruses, and has well-established populations ...

Community Assembly of Fungi and Bacteria along Soil-Plant Continuum Differs in a Zoige Wetland
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Distinct plant associated microbiomes live in rhizosphere soil, roots, and leaves. However, the differences in community assembly of fungi and bacteria along soil-plant continuum are less documented in ecosystems.

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.

Association and Host Selectivity in Multi-Host Pathogens
PLoS ONE, 2006 The distribution of multi-host pathogens over their host range conditions their population dynamics and structure. Also, host co-infection by different pathogens may have important consequences for the evolution of hosts and pathogens, and host-pathogen co-evolution. Hence it is of interest to know if the distribution of pathogens over their host range
