Host specificity of the gut microbiome

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2021
Developing general principles of host-microorganism interactions necessitates a robust understanding of the eco-evolutionary processes that structure microbiota. Phylosymbiosis, or patterns of microbiome composition that can be predicted by host phylogeny, is a unique framework for interrogating these processes.

Host Specificity in Xanthomonas

Nature, 1958
Burkholder and Starr1 stated that “unequivocal identification by laboratory procedures of all Xanthomonas species is as yet an impossibility”, and there has been no change in this position in recent years2,3. The diagnosis of Xanthomonas species therefore depends on the host specificity of the organisms.

Host Specificity in Subarctic Aphids

Environmental Entomology, 2017
Plants and herbivorous (or parasitic) insects form the majority of macroscopic life. The specificity of interaction between host plant and parasitic insect depends on the adaptations of both the host and the parasite. Over time, these interactions evolve and change as a result of an 'arms race' between host and parasite, and the resulting species ...

Host specificity of avian metapneumoviruses

Avian Pathology, 2019
To date, four subgroups of avian metapneumoviruses have been defined (AMPV-A, B, C and D) based on genetic and antigenic differences. The extent of infection in the three principal species (turkeys, chickens and ducks) by these subgroups is, however, not well defined.

Insights in Bartonella Host Specificity

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009
The genus Bartonella comprises a unique group of emerging gram‐negative, intracellular bacteria that can cause a long‐lasting intraerythrocytic bacteremia in their reservoir hosts. In recent years, the widespread occurrence and diversity of these bacteria has been increasingly recognized.

Physiological Host Specificity of Microsporidia as an Indicator of Ecological Host Specificity

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 1998
For most groups of biological control agents the relationship between laboratory (physiological) host range and the host range in the field (ecological host range) has not been explored empirically. The objective of our study was to investigate this relationship using the North America gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, as a model nontarget host for ...

Trypanosoma danilewskyi: Host Specificity and Host's Effect on Morphometrics

The Journal of Parasitology, 1984
Carassius auratus, Barbus conhus, Danio malabaricus, Catostomus commersoni, Notropis cornutus, Etheostoma caeruleum, and Ictalurus nebulosus were susceptible to Trypanosoma danilewskyi by intraperitoneal inoculation. Trypanosomes isolated from all species of susceptible fishes were infective to goldfish.

Host–Pathogen Specificity in Tuberculosis

2013
The host response to mycobacterial infection including tuberculosis depends on genetically controlled host and bacterial factors and their interaction. A largely unknown aspect of this interaction is whether disease results from an additive and independent effect of host and pathogen or from specific host-pathogen combinations.

Host specificity of avian coccidia

Parasitology Today, 1986
The term 'species specific' in reference to the host specificity of avian coccidia, has been used rather loosely for many years. A strong belief in strict species specificity has led to many new species of coccidia being described from oocysts isolated from the faeces of wild birds, primarily on the grounds that no coccidium had previously been ...
