Aeromonas species are ubiquitous Gram‐negative bacteria that inhabit a wide range of aquatic and terrestrial environments. Initially recognised as pathogens in fish, their role as opportunistic ...

Climate change is raising surface temperatures of natural waters, increasing concern about pathogenic species in aquatic environments that can infect humans ...

Heterogeneity is ubiquitous in real-world host populations, yet most theories assume homogeneity. Using a metapopulation model, we examine how host heterogeneities, such as uneven movement patterns ...

According to Le Roch, who directs the UCR Center for Infectious Disease Vector Research, the study, published today in Nature Microbiology, not only identifies the molecular mechanism most likely ...

Some pathogens use temperature as a trigger and activate virulence only after entering the warmer environment of a host. A research team from Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, and the University of ...

During infection, pathogens must adapt quickly to the conditions to thrive inside the body. A research team at the University ...

University of Utah researchers have found that certain host genetic profiles and sexes can accelerate viral evolution, increasing virulence more quickly. Experiments in mice with the H3N2 influenza A ...

Human fungal pathogens exemplify a severe threat to health due to their complex infection strategies and the host's immune system's failure to eradicate them effectively. Species such as Candida, ...

Fusarium oxysporum is a soil-borne fungal pathogen that causes a group of serious plant diseases known as Fusarium wilts. As one of most economically important plant pathogens worldwide, it can infect ...

Study finds that a classically anaerobic bacterium, ETBF, can benefit from, and even help create, an oxygen-rich environment.
