Titer regulation in arthropod-Wolbachia symbioses [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2019 ABSTRACT Symbiosis between intracellular bacteria (endosymbionts) and animals are widespread. The alphaproteobacterium Wolbachia pipientis is known to maintain a variety of symbiotic associations, ranging from mutualism to parasitism, with a wide range of invertebrates.

Improved Zika virus plaque assay using Vero/TMPRSS2 cell line [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumPlaque assay is the gold standard for the quantification of viable cytopathic viruses like Zika virus (ZIKV). Some strains of ZIKV produce plaques that are very difficult to accurately visualize and count on the commonly used Vero cell line.

The impact of host diet on Wolbachia titer in Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2015 While a number of studies have identified host factors that influence endosymbiont titer, little is known concerning environmental influences on titer. Here we examined nutrient impact on maternally transmitted Wolbachia endosymbionts in Drosophila.

Differing Transcriptomic Responses in High Titer versus Low Titer Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes after Oral Infection with Sindbis Virus [PDF]
VirusesOral infection of mosquitoes by arboviruses often results in a large degree of variation in the amount of infectious virus between individual mosquitoes, even when the mosquitoes are from inbred laboratory strains.

Prevention of severe COVID-19 in the elderly by early high-titer plasma therapy
New England Journal of Medicine, 2021 Background Therapies to interrupt progression of early COVID-19 remain elusive. Among them, convalescent plasma in hospitalized patients was unsuccessful, perhaps because antibody should be administered earlier.

Vaccines, 2022 Vaccination to prevent and even eliminate disease is amongst the greatest achievements of modern medicine. Opportunities remain in vaccine development to improve protection across the whole population. A next step in vaccine development is the detailed molecular characterization of individual humoral immune responses against a pathogen, especially the ...
