The phyllosphere microbiome shifts toward combating melanose pathogen

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2022
Plants can recruit beneficial microbes to enhance their ability to defend against pathogens. However, in contrast to the intensively studied roles of the rhizosphere microbiome in suppressing plant pathogens, the collective community-level change and ...

Intestinal inflammation responds to microbial tissue load independent of pathogen/non-pathogen discrimination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The intestinal immune system mounts inflammatory responses to pathogens but tolerates harmless commensal microbiota. Various mechanisms for pathogen/non-pathogen discrimination have been proposed but their general relevance for inflammation control is ...

Absence of Batf3 results in reduced liver pathology in mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum

open access: yesParasites & 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 ...

A dietary fiber-deprived gut microbiota degrades the colonic mucus barrier and enhances pathogen susceptibility

open access: yesCell, 2016
SUMMARY Despite the accepted health benefits of consuming dietary fiber, little is known about the mechanisms by which fiber deprivation impacts the gut microbiota and alters disease risk.

Structure of the activated ROQ1 resistosome directly recognizing the pathogen effector XopQ

open access: yesScience, 2020
Tetrameric immune receptors Nucleotide-binding/leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors detect pathogen effectors and trigger a plant's immune response. Two groups have now defined the structures of two NLRs that carry Toll-like interleukin-1 receptor (

Balancing Selection at the Tomato RCR3 Guardee Gene Family Maintains Variation in Strength of Pathogen Defense [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Coevolution between hosts and pathogens is thought to occur between interacting molecules of both species. This results in the maintenance of genetic diversity at pathogen antigens (or so-called effectors) and host resistance genes such as the major ...

Viral pathogens [PDF]

open access: yesHaemophilia, 2010
Summary.  Despite continuous improvement in safety and purity of blood products for individuals with haemophilia, transmissible agents continue to affect individuals with haemophilia. This chapter addresses three viral pathogens with significant clinical impact: HIV, hepatitis C and parvovirus B19.

Praziquantel treatment after Schistosoma japonicum infection maintains hepatic insulin sensitivity and improves glucose metabolism in mice

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Epidemiological studies in China have revealed that Schistosoma japonicum infection is inversely correlated with metabolic syndrome, even after repeated chemotherapy with praziquantel (PZQ). We investigated the effect of chronic S.

Clinical Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing for Pathogen Detection

open access: yesAnnual Review of Pathology, 2018
Nearly all infectious agents contain DNA or RNA genomes, making sequencing an attractive approach for pathogen detection. The cost of high-throughput or next-generation sequencing has been reduced by several orders of magnitude since its advent in 2004 ...

Oceanic Hitchhikers - Assessing Pathogen Risks from Marine Microplastic.

open access: yesTrends in Microbiology, 2020
As plastic debris in the environment continues to increase, an emerging concern is the potential for microplastic to act as vectors for pathogen transport.
