Echinococcosis Is Associated with the Increased Prevalence of Intestinal Blastocystis Infection in Tibetans and Host Susceptibility to the Blastocystis in Mice [PDF]
Biology, 2022 Blastocystis is a common human intestinal protozoan parasite. Little is known about its prevalence in echinococcosis. This study tested whether Echinococcus multilocularis infection would increase host susceptibility to Blastocystis. A total of 114 fecal

Attenuate host susceptibility to respiratory virus invasion by inhibiting interactions between host proteins SLC16A3 and AP1G1 [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumModulating cell endocytosis activity to reduce host susceptibility to virus represents a promising strategy for antiviral drug development. In this study, we reveal that lactate transporter SLC16A3 is a critical host factor for reducing diverse virus ...

Host Susceptibility to Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease. [PDF]
Clin Chest Med, 2023 Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) pulmonary disease is a chronic progressive pulmonary infectious disease caused by low virulence pathogens. The existence of host susceptibility to NTM infection has been recognized from a high incidence among Asians compared to other populations in the United States, a high incidence among slender, middle-aged women ...

Host Genetic Factors in Q Fever Susceptibility
PathogensSeveral indirect findings suggest that host-related factors influence susceptibility to Coxiella burnetii infection. We decided to explore the influence of genetic factors related to both innate and adaptive immunity in acute Q fever susceptibility. TLR2
