Aeromonas species are ubiquitous Gram‐negative bacteria that inhabit a wide range of aquatic and terrestrial environments. Initially recognised as pathogens in fish, their role as opportunistic ...

Heterogeneity is ubiquitous in real-world host populations, yet most theories assume homogeneity. Using a metapopulation model, we examine how host heterogeneities, such as uneven movement patterns ...

Fusarium oxysporum is a soil-borne fungal pathogen that causes a group of serious plant diseases known as Fusarium wilts. As one of most economically important plant pathogens worldwide, it can infect ...

Human fungal pathogens exemplify a severe threat to health due to their complex infection strategies and the host's immune system's failure to eradicate them effectively. Species such as Candida, ...

Some pathogens use temperature as a trigger and activate virulence only after entering the warmer environment of a host. A research team from Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, and the University of ...

Pathogenic bacteria often delay the activation of their virulence program until they are inside the host. Researchers have identified a new mechanism that controls this process. Some pathogens use ...

Light is a universal stimulus that influences all living things. Cycles of light and dark help set the biological clocks for organisms ranging from single-celled bacteria to human beings. Some ...

In the realm of healthcare, fungal infections present a significant risk to hospitalized patients, particularly due to the ...
