- 1From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 3, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedScrapie is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE) in sheep and goats. In recent years, atypical scrapie cases were identified that differed from classical scrapie in the molecular characteristics of the...
- 2From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 3, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIn nature the prevalence of Leishmania infection in whole sand fly populations can be very low (<0.1%), even in areas of endemicity and high transmission. It has long since been assumed that the protozoan parasite...
- 3From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 3, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedMechanisms of gene regulation are poorly understood in Apicomplexa, a phylum that encompasses deadly human pathogens like Plasmodium and Toxoplasma. Initial studies suggest that epigenetic phenomena, including histone...
- 4From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 3, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThe environmental reservoirs for Vibrio cholerae are natural aquatic habitats, where it colonizes the chitinous exoskeletons of copepod molts. Growth of V. cholerae on a chitin surface induces competence for natural...
- 5From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 3, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedMulti-drug tolerance is a key phenotypic property that complicates the sterilization of mammals infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Previous studies have established that iniBAC, an operon that confers multi-drug...
- 6From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 3, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedHuman cyclophilin A, or CypA, encoded by the gene pepticlyl prolyl isomerase A (PPIA), is incorporated into the HIV type 1 (HIV-1) virion and promotes HIV-1 infectivity by facilitating virus uncoating. We examined the...
- 7From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 3, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBacillus anthracis causes three forms of anthrax: inhalational, gastrointestinal, and cutaneous. Anthrax is characterized by both toxemia, which is caused by secretion of immunomodulating toxins (lethal toxin and edema...
- 8From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 3, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedAlthough malaria and Epstein-Barr (EBV) infection are recognized cofactors in the genesis of endemic Burkitt lymphoma (BL), their relative contribution is not understood. BL, the most common paecliatric cancer in...
- 9From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 3, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedABSTRACT A picomplexans are pathogens responsible for malaria, toxoplasmosis, and crytposporidiosis in humans, and a wide range of livestock diseases. These unicellular eukaryotes are stealthy invaders, sheltering from...
- 10From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 3, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedCandida albicans is a prevalent fungal pathogen amongst the immunocompromised population, causing both superficial and life-threatening infections. Since C. albicans is diploid, classical transmission genetics can not be...
- 11From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 3, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThe obligate intracellular, gram-negative bacterium Chlamydophila pneumoniae (Cpn) has impact as a human pathogen. Little is known about changes in the Cpn transcriptome during its biphasic developmental cycle (the acute...
- 12From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 3, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedMarion Sourisseau (1,2), Climentine Schilte(3,4), Nicoletta Casartelli(1,2), Ciline Trouillet(1,2), Florence Guivel-Benhassinel(1,2), Dominika Rudnicka (1,2), Nathalie Sol-Foulon (1,2), Karin Le Roux (5), Marie-Christine...
- 13From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 3, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedThe MglA protein is the only known regulator of virulence gene expression in Francisella tularensis, yet it is unclear how it functions. F. tularensis also contains an MglA-like protein called SspA. Here, we show that...
- 14From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 3, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedRNA silencing or interference (RNAi) is a gene regulation mechanism in eukaryotes that controls cell differentiation and developmental processes via expression of microRNAs. RNAi also serves as an innate antiviral...
- 15From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 3, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedFitness is a parameter used to quantify how well an organism adapts to its environment; in the present study, fitness is a measure of how well strains of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replicate in tissue...
- 16From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 3, Issue 6) Peer-Revieweddoi:10.1371/journal.ppat.0030048 In PLoS Pathogens, volume 3, issue 3: On page 0457, in the first paragraph of the Results section, the above paper states: "Additionally, AvrB T1 82 contacts RIN4 Y1 51, and...
