Passaging of a Newcastle disease virus pigeon variant in chickens results in selection of viruses with mutations in the polymerase complex enhancing virus replication and virulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Some Newcastle disease virus (NDV) variants isolated from pigeons (pigeon paramyxovirus type 1; PPMV-1) do not show their full virulence potential for domestic chickens but may become virulent upon spread in these animals.

Granzyme B Attenuates Bacterial Virulence by Targeting Secreted Factors

open access: yesiScience, 2020
Summary: Pathogenic bacteria secrete virulence factors that interact with the human host to establish infections. The human immune system evolved multiple mechanisms to fight bacterial invaders, including immune proteases that were demonstrated to ...

Erg25 Controls Host-Cholesterol Uptake Mediated by Aus1p-Associated Sterol-Rich Membrane Domains in Candida glabrata

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
The uptake of cholesterol from the host is closely linked to the proliferation of pathogenic fungi and protozoa during infection. For some pathogenic fungi, cholesterol uptake is an important strategy for decreasing susceptibility to antifungals that ...

The Viral Replication Complex Is Associated with the Virulence of Newcastle Disease Virus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Virulent strains of Newcastle disease virus ([NDV] also known as avian paramyxovirus type 1) can be discriminated from low-virulence strains by the presence of multiple basic amino acid residues at the proteolytic cleavage site of the fusion (F) protein.

The Avirulence Domain of Cauliflower mosaic virus Transactivator/Viroplasmin Is a Determinant of Viral Virulence in Susceptible Hosts

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2004
Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) transactivator/viroplasmin (Tav) is a multifunctional protein essential for basic replication of CaMV. It also plays a role in viral pathogenesis in crucifer and solanaceous host plants.

TroA of Streptococcus suis is required for manganese acquisition and full virulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Streptococcus suis causes infections in pigs and occasionally in humans resulting in 23 manifestations as meningitis, sepsis, arthritis and septic shock. For survival within the 24 host, S. suis requires numerous nutrients including trace metals.

Mobilization, Cloning, and Sequence Determination of a Plasmid-Encoded Polygalacturonase from a Phytopathogenic Burkholderia (Pseudomonas) cepacia

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1997
Phytopathogenic strains of Burkholderia cepacia (synonym Pseudomonas cepacia) produce endopolygalacturonase, whereas strains of clinical and soil origin do not.

Parasite variation and the evolution of virulence in a Daphnia-microparasite system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Understanding genetic relationships amongst the life-history traits of parasites is crucial for testing hypotheses on the evolution of virulence. This study therefore examined variation between parasite isolates (the bacterium Pasteuria ramosa) from the ...
