Co-infection with Chikungunya virus alters trafficking of pathogenic CD8(+) T cells into the brain and prevents Plasmodium-induced neuropathology [PDF]
, 2018 Arboviral diseases have risen significantly over the last 40 years, increasing the risk of co‐infection with other endemic disease such as malaria. However, nothing is known about the impact arboviruses have on the host response toward heterologous ...

Analysis of gene expression from the Wolbachia genome of a filarial nematode supports both metabolic and defensive roles within the symbiosis [PDF]
, 2012 The α-proteobacterium Wolbachia is probably the most prevalent, vertically transmitted symbiont on Earth. In contrast with its wide distribution in arthropods, Wolbachia is restricted to one family of animal-parasitic nematodes, the Onchocercidae.
