Host Range, Biology, and Species Specificity of Seven-Segmented Influenza Viruses—A Comparative Review on Influenza C and D [PDF]
Pathogens, 2021 Other than genome structure, influenza C (ICV), and D (IDV) viruses with seven-segmented genomes are biologically different from the eight-segmented influenza A (IAV), and B (IBV) viruses concerning the presence of hemagglutinin–esterase fusion protein ...

Species-specificity of the secondary biosynthetic potential in Bacillus [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionAlthough Bacillus species have produced a wide variety of structurally diverse and biologically active natural products, the secondary biosynthetic potential of Bacillus species is widely underestimated due to the limited number of ...

Whole-Genome Sequencing of Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens 113-2 and Comparative Genomic Analysis Provide Molecular Insights Into Species Specificity and Host Specificity [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 In the present study, we sequenced the complete genome of Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens 113-2. The genomic characteristics of six selected rhizobial strains (two fast-growing rhizobia, two medium-slow-growing rhizobia and two slow-growing rhizobia) with ...

STAT2 Limits Host Species Specificity of Human Metapneumovirus [PDF]
Viruses, 2020 The host tropism of viral infection is determined by a variety of factors, from cell surface receptors to innate immune signaling. Many viruses encode proteins that interfere with host innate immune recognition in order to promote infection.

Species specificity and specificity diversity (SSD) framework: a novel method for detecting the unique and enriched species associated with disease by leveraging the microbiome heterogeneity [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Differentiating the microbiome changes associated with diseases is challenging but critically important. Majority of existing efforts have been focused on a community level, but the discerning power of community or holistic metrics such as ...

SPECIES SPECIFICITY OF LEUKOCYTIC PYROGENS [PDF]
The Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1969 Polymorphonuclear neutrophilic leukocytes of the dog, cat, and goat release leukocytic pyrogen under the same conditions as the heterophile polymorphonuclear leukocytes of the rabbit. The characteristics of the febrile response to an intravenous injection of homologous leukocytic pyrogen in all four species are very similar: a brisk monophasic fever ...

Oviductin sets the species-specificity of the mammalian zona pellucida [PDF]
eLifeThe zona pellucida (ZP) is vital for species-specific fertilization as this barrier mediates sperm-oocyte binding. Here, we determined whether sperm from distant mammalian orders (Carnivora, Primates, and Rodentia) could penetrate bovine oocytes by ...

Human Growth and Growth Hormone: From Antiquity to the Recominant Age to the Future
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 Since antiquity Man has been fascinated by the variations in human (and animal) growth. Stories and art abound about giants and little people. Modern genetics have solved some of etiologies at both extremes of growth.
