An effector of the Irish potato famine pathogen antagonizes a host autophagy cargo receptor [PDF]
, 2016 Plants use autophagy to safeguard against infectious diseases. However, how plant pathogens interfere with autophagy-related processes is unknown. Here, we show that PexRD54, an effector from the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans, binds

Livestock abundance predicts vampire bat demography, immune profiles, and bacterial infection risk [PDF]
, 2018 Human activities create novel food resources that can alter wildlife–pathogen interactions. If resources amplify or dampen, pathogen transmission probably depends on both host ecology and pathogen biology, but studies that measure responses to ...

Absence of Batf3 results in reduced liver pathology in mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum
Parasites & Vectors, 2017 Background The involvement of CD8+T cells in schistosomiasis is being increasingly appreciated, but the underlying mechanism is not well defined. Results In this study, we showed that the absence of Batf3 alleviated liver damage in Batf3 −/− mice ...

PECTOPLATE: the simultaneous phenotyping of pectin methylesterases, pectinases and oligogalacturonides in plants during biotic stresses [PDF]
, 2015 Degradation of pectin, a major component of plant cell wall, is important for fungal necrotrophs to achieve a successful infection. The activities of pectin methylesterases (PMEs) from both plants and pathogens and the degree and pattern of pectin ...

Timing of Pathogen Adaptation to a Multicomponent Treatment [PDF]
, 2013 The sustainable use of multicomponent treatments such as combination therapies, combination vaccines/chemicals, and plants carrying multigenic resistance requires an understanding of how their population-wide deployment affects the speed of the pathogen ...
