Within-Host Dynamics of Multi-Species Infections:Facilitation, Competition and Virulence [PDF]

, 2012
Host individuals are often infected with more than one parasite species (parasites defined broadly, to include viruses and bacteria). Yet, research in infection biology is dominated by studies on single-parasite infections.

The Interactions between Host Glycobiology, Bacterial Microbiota, and Viruses in the Gut

Viruses, 2018
Rotavirus (RV) and norovirus (NoV) are the major etiological agents of viral acute gastroenteritis worldwide. Host genetic factors, the histo-blood group antigens (HBGA), are associated with RV and NoV susceptibility and recent findings additionally ...

Bovine tuberculosis: the genetic basis of host susceptibility [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010
The prevalence of bovine tuberculosis (BTB) in the UK remains a significant economic burden and problem for the agri-food industry. Much effort has been directed towards improving diagnostics, finding vaccine candidates and assessing the usefulness of badger culling. The contribution that host genotype makes to disease outcome has, until recently, been

The genetics of infectious disease susceptibility: has the evidence for epistasis been overestimated? [PDF]

, 2013
Interactions amongst genes, known as epistasis, are assumed to make a substantial contribution to the genetic variation in infectious disease susceptibility, but this claim is controversial.

Host susceptibility to severe influenza A virus infection [PDF]

Critical Care, 2019
Most people exposed to a new flu virus do not notice any symptoms. A small minority develops critical illness. Some of this extremely broad variation in susceptibility is explained by the size of the initial inoculum or the influenza exposure history of the individual; some is explained by generic host factors, such as frailty, that decrease resilience

SnTox3 acts in effector triggered susceptibility to induce disease on wheat carrying the Snn3 gene [PDF]

, 2009
The necrotrophic fungus Stagonospora nodorum produces multiple proteinaceous host-selective toxins (HSTs) which act in effector triggered susceptibility.

Candida and Host Determinants of Susceptibility to Invasive Candidiasis [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2013
Candida is the most common human fungal pathogen and the cause of invasive candidiasis, the fourth leading cause of nosocomial bloodstream infection in the United States with an estimated annual cost of ∼US$2 billion and mortality that exceeds 40% despite administration of antifungal therapy in modern intensive care unit facilities [1]. Hence, invasive

Host specificity and genetics of host resistance in the "Daphnia-Pasteuria" host-parasite system [PDF]

, 2012
Antagonistic coevolution plays an important role in a large number of evolutionary and ecological phenomena. Furthermore, according to the Red Queen Theory coevolution between hosts and their parasites may explain the maintenance of sexual reproduction ...
