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 ...

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 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.

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,

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 ...

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.

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
