Vector-borne pathogens are transmitted ... including fomites and environmental transmission complex life cycle: A parasite life cycle that requires a definitive host for reproduction and one ...

2002). The field of disease ecology, defined as the ecological study of host-pathogen interactions within the context of their environment and evolution, has grown out of this awareness of the ...

We will also establish how interaction with host immunity and exposure to drugs will drive the evolution of pathogens. Using our established track record in pre-clinical and experimental medicine ...

The immune system responds to an infection by producing antibodies that recognize and bind to the cell surface of the ...

In a paper published in Mycology, researchers investigated the adaptive mechanisms of Microsporum canis, a dermatophyte transitioning from animal to human hosts. Using comparative genomics, the study ...

"Pathogens such as bacteria infect cells ... of the metabolism in the host, which causes an acidic environment and produces a ...

in response to the environmental stress including microbial pathogen infection. In particular, we are interested in pathogen’s disturbance of host organelle function and inter-organellar communication ...

The team will now focus on establishing how sulfur metabolism contributes to infection in the human host and evaluating ... the spread of the pathogen in the hospital environment.
