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 ...

Plant‐pathogenic fungi rely on finely tuned cellular processes to invade host tissues and sustain infection. This study ...

Pseudomonas plecoglossicida is recognised as a significant pathogen in aquaculture, notably affecting species such as the large yellow croaker and other teleosts. This bacterium employs an array of ...

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 ...

Chapter: Genetic Complexity of Pathogen Perception by Plants: The Example of Rcr3, a Tomato Gene Required Specifically by Cf-2 Visit NAP.edu/10766 to get more ...

A lung pathogen grows stronger in iron-rich environments, but at the cost of its own virulence, revealing a hidden trade-off behind chronic infection. Study: Iron dictates the growth, biofilm ...

Advances in our understanding of diversity and drug resistance mechanisms in diseases caused by Mycobacterium spp. are essential for addressing the ...

Anthracnose is one of the most damaging fungal diseases affecting woody oil crops and many other plants, causing severe yield losses worldwide.

Colibacillosis, caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), leads to high morbidity and mortality in poultry. Among APEC, serogroups O1, O2, and O78 are often implicated. However, studies have ...
