Cross-species gene expression analysis of species specific differences in the preclinical assessment of pharmaceutical compounds [PDF]

, 2014
Animals are frequently used as model systems for determination of safety and efficacy in pharmaceutical research and development. However, significant quantitative and qualitative differences exist between humans and the animal models used in research ...

The Trw Type IV Secretion System of Bartonella Mediates Host-Specific Adhesion to Erythrocytes [PDF]

, 2010
Bacterial pathogens typically infect only a limited range of hosts; however, the genetic mechanisms governing host-specificity are poorly understood.

Morphological Traits Shape Foraging Scale but Not Precision: Divergent Responses of Four Tree Species to Water and Nutrient Heterogeneity

Plants
Soil nutrients and water are often distributed heterogeneously in space, yet how plant roots forage in response to such heterogeneity and how their strategies relate to functional traits remain poorly understood.

Species-Specific Marker Discovery in Tilapia [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractTilapias (family Cichlidae) are of importance in aquaculture and fisheries. Hybridisation and introgression are common within tilapia genera but are difficult to analyse due to limited numbers of species-specific genetic markers. We tested the potential of double digested restriction-site associated DNA (ddRAD) sequencing for discovering single

Female-induced increase of host-plant volatiles enhance specific attraction of aphid male Dysaphis plantaginea (Homoptera: Aphididae) to the sex pheromone [PDF]

, 2009
All aphid species studied so far share the same sex pheromone components, nepetalactol and nepetalactone. Variation by different enantiomers and blends of the two components released by different aphid species are limited and can only partially explain ...

Further Characterization of the Antiviral Transmembrane Protein MARCH8

Cells
The cellular transmembrane protein MARCH8 impedes the incorporation of various viral envelope glycoproteins, such as the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (Env) and vesicular stomatitis virus G-glycoprotein (VSV-G), into virions by downregulating them from the

Host-adaptation of the rare Enterocytozoon bieneusi genotype CHN4 in Myocastor coypus (Rodentia: Echimyidae) in China

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Enterocytozoon bieneusi is a zoonotic gastrointestinal pathogen and can infect both humans and animals. The coypu (Myocastor coypus) is a semi-aquatic rodent, in which few E.

Assessing host-parasite specificity through coprological analysis: A case study with species of Corynosoma (Acanthocephala: Polymorphidae) from marine mammals [PDF]

, 2012
In this paper we report an investigation of the utility of coprological analysis as an alternative technique to study parasite specificity whenever host sampling is problematic; acanthocephalans from marine mammals were used as a model.
