Host-pathogen coevolution increases genetic variation in susceptibility to infection

eLife, 2019
It is common to find considerable genetic variation in susceptibility to infection in natural populations. We have investigated whether natural selection increases this variation by testing whether host populations show more genetic variation in ...

Vitamin D as a candidate host susceptibility factor in sugar-driven oral dysbiosis [PDF]

Frontiers in Oral Health
IntroductionSugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) represent a modifiable dietary factor that promotes oral dysbiosis by supplying fermentable sugars and generating low-pH conditions that favor acidogenic and acid-tolerant biofilms.

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

Hemibiotrophic Phytophthora infestans Modulates the Expression of SWEET Genes in Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)

Plants, 2023
Sugar Efflux transporters (SWEET) are involved in diverse biological processes of plants. Pathogens have exploited them for nutritional gain and subsequently promote disease progression.

Chlamydia trachomatis: The Long Road to Describe Its Association with Disease in the Amazon Region of Brazil

BioMed, 2022
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) represent a worldwide public health burden, but many infections and diseases continue to be neglected. Areas with a low human development index, including the northern areas of Brazil, particularly the immense ...

Macrophages Inability to Mediate Adherent-Invasive E. coli Replication is Linked to Autophagy in Crohn’s Disease Patients

Cells, 2019
The macrophages from Crohn’s Disease (CD) patients are defective to control the replication of CD-associated adherent-invasive E. coli (AIEC). We aimed to identify the host factors associated with AIEC replication focusing on polymorphisms related ...

Heterogeneous host susceptibility enhances prevalence of mixed-genotype micro-parasite infections [PDF]

, 2011
Dose response in micro-parasite infections is usually shallower than predicted by the independent action model, which assumes that each infectious unit has a probability of infection that is independent of the presence of other infectious units. Moreover,
