Pathogenicity of Cryptococcus neoformans: virulence factors and immunological mechanisms
(Elsevier B.V., 1999-04-01)
Cryptococcus neoformans is the causative agent of cryptococcosis and cryptococcal meningitis, which are serious pathological conditions affecting up to 10% of patients with AIDS. Mechanisms of pathogenicity of C, neoformans ...
Assessment of correlational selection on tolerance and resistance traits in a host plant-parasitic plant interaction
(Springer, 2001)
Resistance and tolerance are considered to be different plant strategies against disease. While resistance traits prevent hosts becoming parasitized or reduce the extent of parasitism, tolerance traits reduce the fitness-impact ...
Topical Prostaglandin E Analog Restores Defective Dendritic Cell-Mediated Th17 Host Defense Against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus in the Skin of Diabetic Mice
(Amer Diabetes Assoc, 2016-12-01)
People with diabetes are more prone to Staphylococcus aureus skin infection than healthy individuals. Control of S. aureus infection depends on dendritic cell (DC)-induced T-helper 17 (Th17)-mediated neutrophil recruitment ...
Interspecies RNA interactome of pathogen and host in a heritable defensive strategy
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Communication with bacteria deeply impacts the life history traits of their hosts.
Through specific molecules and metabolites, bacteria can promote short- and longterm
phenotypic and behavioral changes in the nematode ...
Chemical ecology mediated by fungal endophytes in grasses
(Springer, 2013-08)
Defensive mutualism is widely accepted as providing the best framework for understanding how seed-transmitted, alkaloid producing fungal endophytes of grasses are maintained in many host populations. Here, we first briefly ...
Refractoriness of eryptotic red blood cells to Plasmodium falciparum infection: a putative host defense mechanism limiting parasitaemia
(Public Library of Science, 2011)
Bordetella pertussis modulates human macrophage defense gene expression
(Oxford University Press, 2016-08)
Bordetella pertussis, the etiological agent of whooping cough, still causes outbreaks. We recently found evidence that B. pertussis can survive and even replicate inside human macrophages, indicating that this host cell ...
