- 1From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedPhlebotomine sand flies that transmit the protozoan parasite Leishmania differ greatly in their ability to support different parasite species or strains in the laboratory: while some show considerable selectivity,...
- 2From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedHIV-1 Gag drives a number of events during the genesis of virions and is the only viral protein required for the assembly of virus-like particles in vitro and in cells. Although a reasonable understanding of the...
- 3From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedThe SUPPRESSOR OF rps4-RLD1 (Srfr1) gene was identified based on enhanced AvrRps4-triggered resistance in the naturally susceptible Arabidopsis accession RLD. No other phenotypic effects were recorded, and the extent of...
- 4From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedOccurrence of intraspecific variation in parasite virulence, a prerequisite for coevolution of hosts and parasites, has largely been reported. However, surprisingly little is known of the molecular bases of this...
- 5From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedWhen colonising host-niches or non-animated medical devices, individual cells of the fungal pathogen Candida albicans expand into significant biomasses. Here we show that within such biomasses, fungal metabolically...
- 6From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedThe immune system in the gastrointestinal tract plays a crucial role in the control of infection, as it constitutes the first line of defense against mucosal pathogens. The attractive features of oral immunization have...
- 7From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedMany bacterial pathogens produce extracellular proteases that degrade the extracellular matrix of the host and therefore are involved in disease pathogenesis. Dichelobacter nodosus is the causative agent of ovine...
- 8From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedTheileria parasites invade and transform bovine leukocytes causing either East Coast fever (T. parva), or tropical theileriosis (T. annulata). Susceptible animals usually die within weeks of infection, but indigenous...
- 9From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedThe conserved internal trimeric coiled-coil of the N-heptad repeat (N-HR) of HIV-1 gp41 is transiently exposed during the fusion process by forming a pre-hairpin intermediate, thus representing an attractive target for...
- 10From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedMurine models of urinary tract infection (UTI) have provided substantial data identifying uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) virulence factors and assessing their expression in vivo. However, it is unclear how gene expression...
- 11From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedEnterovirus 71 (EV71) is one of the major causative agents of hand, foot, and mouth disease, a common febrile disease in children; however, EV71 has been also associated with various neurological diseases including...
- 12From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedUnderstanding how hepatitis C virus (HCV) induces and circumvents the host's natural killer (NK) cell-mediated immunity is of critical importance in efforts to design effective therapeutics. We report here the decreased...
- 13From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedChemokines have been found to exert direct, defensin-like antimicrobial activity in vitro, suggesting that, in addition to orchestrating cellular accumulation and activation, chemokines may contribute directly to the...
- 14From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedInfluenza A virus causes annual epidemics which affect millions of people worldwide. A recent Influenza pandemic brought new awareness over the health impact of the disease. It is thought that a severe inflammatory...
- 15From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedWhile a primary genital tract infection with C. trachomatis stimulates partial-protection against re-infection, it may also result in severe inflammation and tissue destruction. Here we have dissected whether functional...
- 16From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedNeonatal meningitis due to Escherichia coli K1 is a serious illness with unchanged morbidity and mortality rates for the last few decades. The lack of a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms involved in the...
- 17From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedHuman T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the etiologic agent of Adult T cell Leukemia (ATL) and the neurological disorder HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Although the majority...
- 18From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedHIV-1 buds form infected cells in an immature, non-infectious form. Maturation into an infectious virion requires proteolytic cleavage of the Gag polyprotein at five positions, leading to a dramatic change in virus...
- 19From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedDuring infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), immune pressure from cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) selects for viral mutants that confer escape from CTL recognition. These escape variants can be transmitted...
- 20From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 6, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedThe fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans is a major cause of illness in immunocompromised individuals such as AIDS patients. The ability of the fungus to acquire nutrients during proliferation in host tissue and the...
