Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.Abstract FtsZ forms a ring‐like assembly at the site of division in bacteria. It is the first protein involved in the formation of the divisome complex to split the cell into two halves, indicating its importance in bacterial cell division. FtsZ is an attractive target for developing new anti‐microbial drugs to overcome the challenges of antibiotic ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Resistance of Dalbulus maidis to bifenthrin was autosomal, incompletely dominant, and polygenic. Additionally, this resistance was unstable in the absence of selection pressure. Abstract BACKGROUND Pyrethroid insecticides have been a primary strategy for managing Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Brazil. Howeve, failures in the control of D.

Effect of Spiroplasma infection on the mating behavior of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes
Insect Science, EarlyView.Abstract Tsetse flies are insects of significant public health and zoonotic importance as they are the main vectors of African trypanosomes. To date, an effective vaccine is unavailable and efforts to limit the spread of the disease primarily rely on controlling the tsetse populations.

Understanding Kink Propagation in Spiroplasma [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2010 Spiroplasma are helical bacteria of the class Mollicutes, that lack cell walls and swim by propagating a kink of handedness-change along their helical shaped body. Recent microscopy studies indicate that the major structural component of the cell is a multistranded protein ribbon, bound to the inner cell membrane.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.The caterpillars of the greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) are emerging models to study innate immunity and plastic biodegradation. Both of these processes are impacted by the associations between the insect host and its gut microbiome. Although bacterial flora harbored by the larvae have been characterized, little is known

The occurrence of ecto-parasitic Leptus sp. mites on Africanised honey bees [PDF]
, 2016 Honey bee-mite-pathogen associations have led to the widespread collapse of Apis mellifera colonies in various parts of the world. The global trade in bees continues to expose honey bees to new pests and pathogens.

Influences of plant maternal effects, chemotype, and environment on the leaf bacterial community
Plant Biology, EarlyView.Plant maternal effects and growth environment, rather than terpenoid chemotype, determine the leaf microbial community of Tanacetum vulgare, but specific terpenoids are correlated with the abundance of certain bacteria. Abstract Plant individuals within a species can differ markedly in their leaf chemical composition, forming so‐called chemotypes ...
