Spatial metabolomics is transforming our understanding of microbial systems by uncovering the localized molecular dynamics ...

The epicenter of Maine's tick problem is the Midcoast, according to researchers. In six years of operation, the University of Maine Cooperative Extension tick lab has tested more than 22,000 ticks ...

However, the strains of plague that did not have the pla gene eventually went extinct. This likely reflects another shift that occurred in the host-pathogen relationship within their environment.

Figure1: Contrast between idealized homogeneous and realistic heterogeneous metapopulations Our analyses reveal that pathogen virulence consistently increases in metapopulations with heterogeneous ...

Heterogeneity in host populations significantly influences pathogen evolution, yet most theories assume uniformity. This study uses a meta-population model to examine how local environmental ...
