The magnitude of host-diversity effects for particular host-pathogen systems can be predicted by considering how the inherent characteristics of a system causes it to differ from the assumptions of the classic model. Because of the limited number of studies comparing host-diversity effects in ...
Individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 have a variable course of infection, ranging from asymptomatic to death. Although the fatality rate varies tremendously according to demographic characteristics and co-morbidities14, the U.S. ranks as one of the countries with the highest COVID-19 mortality rate...

allowing us to draw inferences that were robust to disproportionate sampling of viruses in different hosts. Our approach also does not consider the epidemiology or ecology of viral transmission, as this is largely dependent on host features such as population size, social structure and behaviour for...
Indeed, disease characteristics changed dramatically with host age at the time of inoculation. The main changes appeared during the tuberization period. Hence, we suggest that the host tuberization process leads to a remarkable change in the interaction between the host and t...
Antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD) represents a clinical entity leading to prolonged hospital stays and diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, and results in additional costs. The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence and characteristics of different bacteria in stools of patients with...
Several epidemiology studies suggest that host genetic factors play important roles in susceptibility, protection and progression of tuberculosis infection. Here we have reviewed the implications of some genetic polymorphisms in pathways related to tuberculosis susceptibility, severity and development. Large cas...
in the same facility, which reduces batch effects that plague meta-analyses. We utilize a robust analytical framework to resolve the relative importance of host diet and evolutionary history (along with other host characteristics) on gut microbiome diversity. Moreover, we identify particular microbial...
Males and females vary in many characteristics that typically underlie how well a host is able to fight infection, such as body-size, immune capacity, or energy availability. Although well studied in the context of sexual signalling, there is now growing
