- 1From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedMost pathogenesis studies focus on pathogen virulence attributes that mediate host colonization, toxicity, or immune evasion. Some studies focus on how pathogens employ active mechanisms to acquire essential nutrients...
- 2From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedUnderstanding African Trypanosomiasis (AT) host-pathogen interaction is the key to an "anti-disease vaccine", a novel strategy to control AT. Here we provide a better insight into this poorly described interaction by...
- 3From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedCytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) induced by the endosymbiont Wolbachia pipientis causes complex patterns of crossing sterility between populations of the Culex pipiens group of mosquitoes. The molecular basis of the...
- 4From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedPrions are proteinaceous infectious agents responsible for fatal neurodegenerative diseases in animals and humans. They are essentially composed of [PrP.sup.sc], an aggregated, misfolded conformer of the ubiquitously...
- 5From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction Genetic exchange occurs via horizontal gene transfer in bacteria and archea or sexual reproduction in fungal and parasitic eukaryotic microbes. Sexual reproduction is universal, or nearly so, in...
- 6From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedViruses within a family often vary in their cellular tropism and pathogenicity. In many cases, these variations are due to viruses switching their specificity from one cell surface receptor to another. The structural...
- 7From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedMycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) disrupts anti-microbial pathways of macrophages, cells that normally kill bacteria. Over 40 years ago, D'Arcy Hart showed that Mtb avoids delivery to lysosomes, but the molecular...
- 8From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedDengue Is a Serious Public Health Problem Dengue virus (DV) infections cause undisputedly the most important arthropod-borne viral disease in terms of worldwide prevalence, human suffering, and cost. Worldwide DV...
- 9From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedThe large tegument proteins of herpesviruses contain N-terminal cysteine proteases with potent ubiquitin and NEDD8specific deconjugase activities, but the function of the enzymes during virus replication remains largely...
- 10From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedAre we there yet? Every parent has heard this inexorable question, but it is especially wrenching to hear it from a patient with a fatal illness. When someone, or someone's child, is diagnosed with invasive...
- 11From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedBlood flukes of the genus Schistosoma infect over 200 million people, causing granulomatous pathology with accompanying morbidity and mortality. As a consequence of extensive host-parasite co-evolution, schistosomes...
- 12From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedThe filamentous fungus Magnaporthe oryzae is the causal agent of rice blast disease. Here we show that glycogen metabolic genes play an important role in plant infection by M. oryzae. Targeted deletion of AGL1 and GPH1,...
- 13From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedDuring lytic infections, HSV-1 genomes are assembled into unstable nucleosomes. The histones required for HSV-1 chromatin assembly, however, are in the cellular chromatin. We have shown that linker (H1) and core (H2B...
- 14From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedPlasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) produce type I interferons (IFN-I) and proinflammatory cytokines in response to viruses; however, their contribution to antiviral immunity in vivo is unclear. In this study, we...
- 15From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedDual Identities: Candida albicans as Human Commensal and Opportunistic Pathogen Candida albicans is a polymorphic fungus that inhabits a variety of niches in healthy human bodies. In addition to being a component of...
- 16From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedPrevious analysis of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV persistent infection has involved biological and immunological studies to identify and quantify infected cell populations and the immune response to them. This led to a...
- 17From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedOuter membrane vesicles (OMVs) that are released from Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria can serve as vehicles for the translocation of effectors involved in infectious processes. In this study we have investigated the...
- 18From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedPlant regulatory circuits coordinating nuclear and plastid gene expression have evolved in response to external stimuli. RNA editing is one of such control mechanisms. We determined the Arabidopsis nuclear-encoded...
- 19From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedIn BALB/c mice, susceptibility to infection with the intracellular parasite Leishmania major is driven largely by the development of T helper 2 (Th2) responses and the production of interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13, which...
- 20From: PLoS Pathogens. (Vol. 9, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedDeltaretroviruses such as human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and bovine leukemia virus (BLV) induce a persistent infection that remains generally asymptomatic but can also lead to leukemia or lymphoma. These...
