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.

The genetics of host adaptation in the parasitic plant Striga hermonthica [PDF]
, 2013 The obligately outbreeding root hemiparasite Striga hermonthica (Orobanchaceae)is a serious threat to subsistence agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. Resistance to this parasite in its crop hosts, such as rice, sorghum and maize, is not common, and the ...

Host specificity and genetics of host resistance in the "Daphnia-Pasteuria" host-parasite system [PDF]
, 2012 Antagonistic coevolution plays an important role in a large number of evolutionary and ecological phenomena. Furthermore, according to the Red Queen Theory coevolution between hosts and their parasites may explain the maintenance of sexual reproduction ...

Comparative host specificity of human- and pig- associated Staphylococcus aureus clonal lineages. [PDF]
, 2012 Bacterial adhesion is a crucial step in colonization of the skin. In this study, we investigated the differential adherence to human and pig corneocytes of six Staphylococcus aureus strains belonging to three human-associated [ST8 (CC8), ST22 (CC22) and ...

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.

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

The Trw Type IV Secretion System of Bartonella Mediates Host-Specific Adhesion to Erythrocytes [PDF]
, 2010 Bacterial pathogens typically infect only a limited range of hosts; however, the genetic mechanisms governing host-specificity are poorly understood.
