Computational Motility Tracking of Calcium Dynamics in Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Toxoplasma gondii is the causative agent responsible for toxoplasmosis and serves as one of the most common parasites in the world. For a successful lytic cycle, T. gondii must traverse biological barriers in order to invade host cells, and as such, motility is critical for its virulence. Calcium signaling, governed by fluctuations in cytosolic calcium

Social interactions modulate the virulence of avian malaria infection [PDF]
, 2013 There is an increasing understanding of the context-dependent nature of parasite virulence. Variation in parasite virulence can occur when infected individuals compete with conspecifics that vary in infection status; virulence may be higher when ...

Aggregate, EarlyView.Two novel XOFs based on [N···Br+···N] interactions were constructed. The XOFs(Br) deliver superior antibacterial properties compared with XOFs(I), due to a greater oxidation capability. Moreover, XOF(Br)‐TPPA, exhibiting greater hydrophilicity, shows superior antibacterial properties relative to XOF(Br)‐TPPE, which is weakly hydrophilic.

Analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Virulence in Dictyostelium discoideum Strains [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Dictyostelium discoideum is an ideal organism to test the pathogenicity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, since its eukaryote nature allows for comparisons to be made to human health. Additionally, D. discoideum naturally feeds on bacteria and has a simplistic genome which improves result interpretation. P.
