Humans have come a long way as the most dominant species on Earth, largely due to sophisticated adaptations, ingenuity, and ...

Plants know how to defend themselves against pathogenic microorganisms. In turn, pathogens have sensors to detect such ...

Transmission of these pathogens is termed frequency-dependent (Figure 1b) because the force of infection — the per capita rate at which a susceptible individual becomes infected (βI/N for ...

The pathogen's genome may be used for antigen ... The genome of the host may reveal susceptibility genes and new drug targets that may be used in the treatment of infectious diseases.

The left population is “resource-rich” for pathogens, as it offers a higher density of susceptible hosts, while the right population is “resource-scarce”, as it offers a lower density of ...

"The close evolutionary relationship between the pathogens that cause TB in cattle ... combining this data with existing bTB susceptibility genome-wide association study (GWAS) data sets.
