The SPARTA defense system, activated by invading DNA for NAD(P)+ hydrolysis, was recently identified in bacteria. Here, authors visualize SPARTA before and after nucleic acid binding and uncover the basis of its active assembly leading to abortive infection. ...
Infection prevalence followed a classic temperature response curve with the lowest infection prevalence at the extreme temperatures (~ 8 °C, ~ 23 °C) and highest infection prevalence at the optimal range (~ 17 °C) (Fig. 2). The strong and long cold snap (6 days of −...

The complex systemic responses of tree species to fight pathogen infection necessitate attention due to the potential for yield protection in forestry. In this paper, both the localized and systemic responses of model plants, such as Arabidopsis and toba

More recently, the group has also been tackling questions in the field of host-pathogen interactions focusing on how nematodes recognise and respond to infection by natural pathogens. Kristen Kroll, PhD, Washington University School of Medicine, USAorcid.org/0000-0002-5450-6694 Webpage Research ...
airway reactivity (bronchospasm), airway infection and inflammation, pharmacotherapy efficacy, and clinical outcomes, while, alas, often neglecting sex differences even when discussing novel therapies [45].

aimed to detect acute infection from the expression of 29 marker host genes205. Although it is theoretically possible to diagnose infection using the host transcriptome, this approach has been impeded by the transcriptomic heterogeneity between patients. To overcome this limitation, the authors trained...
(races 1, 2, and 4) specifically affect bananas, and tropical race 4 is the most destructive one. As a semi-necrotrophic fungus, the infection process ofFocin banana roots involves four key steps: 1) toxins (such as phytotoxin fusaric acid, FSA) secretion to induce programmed cell death ...
Part III considers the dynamic interplay of host and parasite populations, i.e., the epidemics and endemics of infectious diseases. The theme of stage structure continues in the analysis of different stages of infection and of age-structure that is instrumental in optimizing vaccination strategies....
