Determinants of Host Range Specificity in Legume-Rhizobia Symbiosis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Leguminous plants possess the almost unique ability to enter symbiosis with soil-resident, nitrogen fixing bacteria called rhizobia. During this symbiosis, the bacteria physically colonize specialized organs on the roots of the host plant called nodules,

Morphological and molecular studies of the nematode parasite Heterakis gallinarum (Heterakidae) infecting the cattle egret Bubulcus ibis (Ardeidae) [PDF]
Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2023 Parasites infecting migratory birds all over the world are still under investigation. The identification of parasitic taxa infecting ardeids was done concerning their morphological and morphometric features.

Increased sampling reveals novel lineages of Entamoeba: consequences of genetic diversity and host specificity for taxonomy and molecular detection. [PDF]
, 2011 To expand the representation for phylogenetic analysis, ten additional complete Entamoeba small-subunit rRNA gene sequences were obtained from humans, non-human primates, cattle and a tortoise. For some novel sequences no corresponding morphological data

STAT2 Limits Host Species Specificity of Human Metapneumovirus
Viruses, 2020 The host tropism of viral infection is determined by a variety of factors, from cell surface receptors to innate immune signaling. Many viruses encode proteins that interfere with host innate immune recognition in order to promote infection.

Identification of Host-Specific Bacteroidales 16S rDNA Sequences from Human Sewage and Ruminant Feces [PDF]
, 2011 The need to identify the source of fecal contamination of water has led to the development of various fecal source identification methods, a field known as microbial source tracking (MST). One promising method of MST focuses on fecal members of the order

Rhizobium sp. BR816 Produces a Complex Mixture of Known and Novel Lipochitooligosaccharide Molecules
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2001 Rhizobial lipochitooligosaccharide (LCO) signal molecules induce various plant responses, leading to nodule development. We report here the LCO structures of the broad-host range strain Rhizobium sp. BR816.

Promiscuous specialists: Host specificity patterns among generalist louse flies.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Ectoparasites such as louse flies (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) have tendency for host specialization, which is driven by adaptation to host biology as well as competition avoidance between parasites of the same host.
