New and rare species of Sphaeropsidales in the Polish flora. II
Sixteen species of Sphaeropsidales (Apiocarpella, Ascochyta, Pestaloziella and Septoria) - new or rarely found in the Polish flora - have been given in this paper. Many of them are rarely found in Europe as well as in other regions all over the world e.g.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Viruses, fungi and parasites [PDF]
There is, of course, little in common between these groups of organisms and they deserve individual attention. In the previous chapter I discussed the general properties of bacteria, the nature of bacterial infections and the laboratory methods used in their diagnosis.

Coevolution of parasitic fungi and insect hosts
Parasitic fungi and their insect hosts provide an intriguing model system for dissecting the complex co-evolutionary processes, which result in Red Queen dynamics. To explore the genetic basis behind host-parasite coevolution we chose two parasitic fungi (Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae, representing the most important entomopathogenic ...

The Genesis of Malaria: The Origin of Mosquitoes and Their Protistan Cargo, Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]
Malaria is caused by the parasite belonging to the genus Plasmodium; however, creation biologists maintain this organism was not always parasitic. Plasmodium is probably a degenerate form of algae.

Feeding with tannin‐rich diets altered the fecal microbial composition and increased the relative abundance of tannin‐degrading microbes. We hypothesize that fecal bacteria and fungi may play important roles in helping herbivores adapt to tannin‐rich diets but respond to different tannin concentrations varies.

Parasitic and saprotrophic fungi from Słowińki National Park
In the years 1996 - 1997, the occurrence of parasitic and saprotrophic fungi was investigated in Słowiński National Park. A total of 209 plant species belonging to 37 families were studied, from which 270 species of fungi were isolate.

Proteomic and Transcriptomic Signatures of Poor Asthma Symptom Control in the U‐BIOPRED Cohort
No stable features were identified as associated with asthma symptom control in transcriptomics or sputum proteomics. Higher TWEAKR/TNFRSF12A and MBL/MBP‐C serum levels increased the odds of uncontrolled symptoms, while higher MK08/MAPK8 and CD5L serum levels decreased the odds, after adjustment for clinical variables.

Cuscuta spp. (dodders) are rootless, holoparasitic herbs with filiform stems attached to the host by numerous haustoria. In Canada, Cuscuta gronovii is the most common native species of the genus followed by Cuscuta campestris and C. umbrosa.
