Colletotrichum higginsianum Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase ChMK1: Role in Growth, Cell Wall Integrity, Colony Melanization, and Pathogenicity

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Colletotrichum higginsianum is an economically important pathogen that causes anthracnose disease in a wide range of cruciferous crops. To facilitate the efficient control of anthracnose disease, it will be important to understand the mechanism by which ...

Host–Pathogen Dual Targeting With Repurposed Drugs Identifies a Synergistic Therapy for Intracellular Staphylococcus aureus

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
A large intracellular drug‐repurposing screen identifies a potent synergy between 5‐fluoro‐2′‐deoxycytidine and rifapentine, acting through dual host–pathogen targeting to reduce Staphylococcus aureus burdens across strains, cell types, and infection models (created with BioRender).

Metarhizium brunneum infection dynamics differ at the cuticle interface of susceptible and tolerant morphs of Galleria mellonella

Virulence, 2019
In order for entomopathogenic fungi to colonize an insect host, they must first attach to, and penetrate, the cuticle layers of the integument. Herein, we explored the interactions between the fungal pathogen Metarhizium brunneum ARSEF 4556 and two ...

Hidden Fungal Diversity of the Precious Mediterranean Red Coral Corallium rubrum

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
This study reveals diverse cultivable fungi associated with the red coral Corallium rubrum, highlighting both potentially beneficial and pathogenic species. These findings emphasize the biotechnological relevance and ecological impact of coral‐associated fungi, especially as climate change may increase disease risks.

A novel Lozenge gene in silkworm, Bombyx mori regulates the melanization response of hemolymph

, 2015
NoRunt-related (RUNX) transcription factors are evolutionarily conserved either in vertebrate or invertebrate. Lozenge (Lz), a members of RUNX family as well as homologue of AML-1, functions as an important transcription factor regulating the hemocytes ...

Cost of parasite exposure depends on host ontogeny 寄生接觸的代價依賴於宿主發育階段

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 592-603, June 2026.
The cost of parasite exposure varies across host developmental stages, demonstrating that ontogeny influences the expression of non‐consumptive effects (NCEs). Mite exposure resulted in consumptive effects in fly eggs and NCEs in early‐stage pupae; mite longevity was comparable when provisioned with pupae or water but increased when provisioned with ...

Past Pollution Can Shape Future Climatic Vulnerability: Fungicide Exposure Alters Detritivore Performance During Heatwaves and Recovery

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural populations are increasingly exposed to multiple stressors, such as chemical pollution and climate‐change‐driven heatwaves. While it has become clear that we need to account for stressor interactions, it is less well understood how sequential exposure to different stressors influences organismal responses as well as their potential for

Melanization of Bomirski hamster amelanotic melanoma cells (Ab line) depends on the type of culture medium

, 2019
Introduction. The effect of melanogenesis intensity on melanoma biology remains an open question, and the biological differences between melanotic and amelanotic melanoma cells have not yet been satisfactorily documented. As a result, the melanization of

Summer Rainfall Drives Adaptation with Gene Flow in a Widespread Butterfly

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 12, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how environmental variation interacts with gene flow to shape population genomic patterns is a central goal in evolutionary biology. We investigated how geographic and environmental differences impact genetic variation in the clouded sulfur butterfly (Colias philodice eriphyle) by conducting whole‐genome resequencing across ...
