Host-pathogen interactions in aquatic systems encompass the dynamic interplay between microbial invaders and their animal hosts, mediated by a suite of virulence determinants, host immune defences and ...

Bacterial pathogens have evolved diverse strategies to manipulate host cells to establish infection. At a molecular level, this is often mediated by virulence factors that are secreted into host cells ...

A research team at the University of Greifswald's Research Training Group RTG-PRO "Proteases in pathogen and host: importance ...

In a new study, Yale researchers identify the targets in the human body to which pathogens transmitted by mosquitoes, ticks, and other vectors bind. Their findings, they say, could help address the ...

Postdoctoral researcher Abhilash Nair at Columbia University studies how diet-induced changes shape gut microbiota dynamics ...

Malaria remains one of the world's most significant infectious diseases, with progress toward elimination increasingly ...

A recent study looking at the molecular foundation of myrtle rust reveals how the pathogen breaks into a host plant and how the host plant responds. This insight will inform the design of useful tools ...

The body defends itself against pathogens by depriving them of vital iron. However, this strategy doesn't always succeed against Salmonella. Researchers have discovered that these bacteria ...

The global wildlife trade – especially in illegal and live-animal markets – is fueling the spread of diseases from animals to humans, according to a new study. The findings show that traded mammals ...

Pets form an important part of many people’s lives, providing meaningful companionship. However, our pets can sometimes also be a source of unwelcome pathogens and diseases, particularly if they ...
