Filter feeding by oysters reduces disease transmission in a marine host–parasite system
Abstract As a mechanism of the dilution effect, predation and filter feeding on parasitic propagules are hypothesized to reduce transmission to susceptible hosts and alter host–parasite interactions. In marine systems, the effect of other community members on the disease dynamics of microparasites in their suitable hosts is poorly known.

Marine Macroalgae: Prospective Hitchhikers of Ship Ballast
Invasive alien species, on successful establishment, can displace native species. The threat of invasive species arises in view of their ability to outcompete and destabilize native biodiversity.

The Control of Stem Blight and the Spread of Potato Late Blight by Copper Seed Treatment [PDF]
Late blight still is an unsolved problem in organic potato farming. Up to now the most effective way to control this disease is the use of copper fungicides. Transferring results from regular farming, seed treatments with copper fungicides shall postpone

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME OF HORSES WITH CUTANEOUS PYTHIOSIS, AND META-ANALYSIS OF SIMILAR REPORTS
Pythiosis is reported to be one of the most life-threatening infections of people and animals in tropical, subtropical and temperate areas worldwide. Infection can result from ingesting zoospores of Pythium insidiosum organism or from contact with water

New Phytophthora populations: A shift from indirect to direct sporangial germination? [PDF]
Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of potato- and tomato late blight, remains a serious threat for (commercial) potato and tomato production. In North Western Europe, frequent fungicide applications, mostly aimed to prevent infection, form the back

A GmNRF5a–GmCERK1–GmCAK1 module mediates chitin/chitosan‐triggered immune response in soybean
In soybeans, the GmNFR5a‐GmCERK1‐GmCAK1 module regulates immune responses triggered by chitin oligosaccharides and chitosan oligosaccharides from fungal pathogens. This reveals a shared upstream signaling mechanism for distinct microbial patterns and provides valuable genetic targets for improving broad‐spectrum disease resistance in crops.
