Microphallus pseudopygmaeus (Digenea) infects phylogenetically distant gastropods, with signs of host-linked genetic divergence

Parasite
Host-switching between distantly related host species offers rare insight into how parasites overcome compatibility barriers and initiate evolutionary divergence.

Host specificity of the plant growth-promoting cooperation between Azospirillum and rice [PDF]

, 2013
1. Introduction. Host specificity is a fundamental concept in understanding evolutionary processes leading to intimate interactions between bacteria and plants.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Evolution of host specificity in monogeneans parasitizing African cichlid fish

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background The patterns and processes linked to the host specificity of parasites represent one of the central themes in the study of host-parasite interactions.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

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.

Trematode Infection Prevalence Increases With Snail Richness: Observations From a 4‐Year Study of Snail–Trematode Interactions

Ecology and Evolution
Digenetic trematodes are valuable study organisms for exploring how biodiversity influences disease. In this study, we investigated the relationship between snail richness and trematode infection prevalence using data from a 4‐year study (2019–2022) of ...

Specificity and sensitivity evaluation of novel and existing Bacteroidales and Bifidobacteria-specific PCR assays on feces and sewage samples and their application for microbial source tracking in Ireland [PDF]

, 2009
Three novel ruminant-specific PCR assays, an existing ruminant-specific PCR assay and five existing human-specific PCR assays, which target 16S rDNA from Bacteroidales or Bifidobacteria, were evaluated.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
