Parasites & Vectors, 2023 Background Female mosquitoes need a blood meal after mating for their eggs to develop, and this behavior leads to the spread of pathogens. Therefore, understanding the molecular regulation of reproduction in female mosquitoes is essential to control ...

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014 Different species inhabit different sensory worlds and thus have evolved diverse means of processing information, learning and memory. In the escalated arms race with host defense, each pathogenic bacterium not only has evolved its individual cellular sensing and behavior, but also collective sensing, interbacterial communication, distributed ...

Virology, 1996 The pathogenicity of rotaviruses depends on multiple viral and host factors. In this review the evidence for the involvement of a number of viral genes in the ability to cause disease is presented. Different genes are of importance in different rotavirus-host systems: there is no single pathogenicity factor.

Plants, 2023 Sustainable control of mosquitoes, vectors of many pathogens and parasites, is a critical challenge. Chemical insecticides are gradually losing their effectiveness because of development of resistance, and plant metabolites are increasingly being ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2017 ABSTRACTFungi are the most common disease-causing agents of insects; aside from playing a crucial role in natural ecosystems, insect-killing fungi are being used as alternatives to chemical insecticides and as resources for biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.

Stunted microbiota and opportunistic pathogen colonisation in caesarean section birth
Nature, 2019 Immediately after birth, newborn babies experience rapid colonization by microorganisms from their mothers and the surrounding environment1. Diseases in childhood and later in life are potentially mediated by the perturbation of the colonization of the ...

Plants send small RNAs in extracellular vesicles to fungal pathogen to silence virulence genes
Science, 2018 Defense cargo shuttles in vesicles Plants can use small RNAs (sRNAs) to interfere with virulence factor gene expression in pathogens. Cai et al. show that the small mustard plant Arabidopsis shuttles defensive sRNAs into the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis ...
