In the mid of 1960s, coronaviruses were found to infect humans and livestock, including birds and mammals (Al Naggar et al.2020). A novel coronavirus, a severe acute respiratory syndrome, coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been developed in recent times and has sparked a pandemic in several...
I find that there are several examples of G×G in humans (involving, e.g., ABO, HBB, FUT2, SLC11A1, and HLA genes) that fit assumptions of either gene-for-gene or matching allele models. This means that there is potential for coevolution to drive polymorphism also in humans (and ...
Changes in the geographical distribution of pathogens have been suggested to be a major consequence of climate change (IOM, 2008). During the 1976 drought there is only limited evidence to suggest that the geographical range of certain species had changed. The best examples include the northward ...
Pathogens such as a bacterium, fungi,protozoa, worms, viruses, and even infectious proteins called prions that cause disease in humans are referred to ashuman pathogens. Humans host a nutrient-rich, warm, and moist environment, which constantly renews itself and maintains a uniform temperature, by...
