Host Specificity of Bacterial Pathogens [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2013 Most pathogens are able to infect multiple hosts but some are highly adapted to a single-host species. A detailed understanding of the basis of host specificity can provide important insights into molecular pathogenesis, the evolution of pathogenic microbes, and the potential for pathogens to cross the species barrier to infect new hosts.

Influenza A Virus–Host Specificity: An Ongoing Cross-Talk Between Viral and Host Factors
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 One big threat from influenza A viruses (IAVs) is that novel viruses emerge from mutation alongside reassortment. Some of them have gained the capability to transmit into human from the avian reservoir. Understanding the molecular events and the involved

Host specificities of RNA phages [PDF]
Journal of Hygiene, 1972 SUMMARYHost ranges of members of four groups of male-specific RNA coliphages were determined by plating on hosts carrying various derepressed plasmids. An RNA phage originally isolated onPseudomonas aeruginosafailed to form plaques on any of the strains ofEscherichia coli.

Host specialization of different populations of ergot fungus (Claviceps purpurea)
Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2002 In our previous study of Claviceps purpurea three populations were found: G1 on open localities, G2 from shady or wet habitats and G3 on Spartina stands of coastal salt marshes. The latter two are also chemoraces.

Study of the host specificity of PB1-F2-associated virulence
Virulence, 2021 Influenza A viruses cause important diseases in both human and animal. The PB1-F2 protein is a virulence factor expressed by some influenza viruses.

Horizontal transfer of parasitic sex ratio distorters between crustacean hosts [PDF]
, 1998 Parasitic sex ratio distorters were artificially transferred within and between crustacean host species in order to study the effects of parasitism on host fitness and sex determination and to investigate parasite–host specificity. Implantation of Nosema

Host Specificity in Variable Environments [PDF]
Trends in Parasitology, 2019 Host specificity encompasses the range and diversity of host species that a parasite is capable of infecting and is considered a crucial measure of a parasite's potential to shift hosts and trigger disease emergence. Yet empirical studies rarely consider that regional observations only reflect a parasite's 'realized' host range under particular ...

Zamilon, a novel virophage with Mimiviridae host specificity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Virophages, which are potentially important ecological regulators, have been discovered in association with members of the order Megavirales. Sputnik virophages target the Mimiviridae, Mavirus was identified with the Cafeteria roenbergensis virus, and ...

Analysing Parallel Strategies to Alter the Host Specificity of Bacteriophage T7
Biology, 2021 The recognition and binding of host bacteria by bacteriophages is most often enabled by a highly specific receptor–ligand type of interaction, with the receptor-binding proteins (RBPs) of phages being the primary determinants of host specificity ...

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