- 1From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Strife concerning the accessibility of essential trace elements, such as transition metals, represents an important aspect of the dynamic interaction between a pathogenic fungus and its mammalian host....
- 2From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe mechanisms of chronic HBV infection and immunopathogenesis are poorly understood due to a lack of a robust small animal model. Here we report the development of a humanized mouse model with both human immune system...
- 3From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedWhat Are Mycobacteriophages? Mycobacteriophages are viruses that infect mycobacterial hosts, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium smegmatis [1]. Because the discovery and genomic characterization of...
- 4From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedApicomplexans facilitate host cell invasion through formation of a tight-junction interface between parasite and host plasma membranes called the moving junction (MJ). A complex of the rhoptry neck proteins RONs 2/4/5/8...
- 5From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe intracellular, protozoan Theileria species parasites are the only eukaryotes known to transform another eukaryotic cell. One consequence of this parasite-dependent transformation is the acquisition of motile and...
- 6From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedReassortment of influenza viral RNA (vRNA) segments in co-infected cells can lead to the emergence of viruses with pandemic potential. Replication of influenza vRNA occurs in the nucleus of infected cells, while progeny...
- 7From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedCandida albicans, the most important fungal pathogen of humans, has a unique interaction with macrophages in which phagocytosis induces a switch from the yeast to hyphal form, allowing it to escape by rupturing the...
- 8From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedIn chronic viral infections, persistent antigen presentation causes progressive exhaustion of virus-specific [CD8.sup.+] T cells. It has become clear, however, that virus-specific na'fve [CD8.sup.+] T cells newly...
- 9From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedRecent studies have revealed that proteases encoded by three very diverse RNA virus groups share structural similarity with enzymes of the Ovarian Tumor (OTU) superfamily of deubiquitinases (DUBs). The publication of...
- 10From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe Type IV Secretion System (T4SS) is the only bacterial secretion system known to translocate both DNA and protein substrates. The VirB/D4 system from Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a typical T4SS. It facilitates the...
- 11From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedCerebral malaria (CM) is associated with a high mortality rate, and long-term neurocognitive impairment in approximately one third of survivors. Adjunctive therapies that modify the pathophysiological processes involved...
- 12From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBubonic plague (a fatal, flea-transmitted disease) remains an international public health concern. Although our understanding of the pathogenesis of bubonic plague has improved significantly over the last few decades,...
- 13From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedFive Things to Know about Genetically Modified (GM) Insects for Vector Control 1. Why (and how to) use GM vectors for vector control? Vector-borne diseases cause immense suffering and economic damage. Vector...
- 14From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedFungi belong amongst the severest pathogens of humans, animals, and plants. For example, Candida spp. and Aspergillus spp. account for most invasive mycoses, and such infections are associated with high rates of...
- 15From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedToxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite that infects a wide range of warm-blooded species. Rats vary in their susceptibility to this parasite. The Toxoh locus conferring Toxoplasma resistance in rats was...
- 16From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe transcription factor AmrZ regulates genes important for P. aeruginosa virulence, including type IV pili, extracellular polysaccharides, and the flagellum; however, the global effect of AmrZ on gene expression...
- 17From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedInflammation is a highly coordinated host response to infection, injury, or cell stress. In most instances, the inflammatory response is pro-survival and is aimed at restoring physiological tissue homeostasis and...
- 18From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedA better understanding of changes in HIV-1 population genetics with combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is critical for designing eradication strategies. We therefore analyzed HIV-1 genetic variation and...
- 19From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe PLOS Pathogens Staff The following information is missing from the Funding section: AMR and BVLP were funded by the Wellcome Trust (Programme Grant 082837). BVLP is a Wellcome Trust Senior Investigator (Grant...
- 20From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 10, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe poxvirus life cycle, although physically autonomous from the host nucleus, is nevertheless dependent upon cellular functions. A requirement for de novo fatty acid biosynthesis was implied by our previous...
