Given the complexity of the mammalian microbiota, there is a need for simple models to
decipher the effector and regulatory mechanisms underlying host/microbiota mutualism. …

Background Comprehensive information about the accuracy of antigen rapid diagnostic
tests (Ag-RDTs) for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is …

In the last decade, Drosophila has emerged as a useful model to study host–microbiota
interactions, creating an active research field with prolific publications. In the last 2 years, several …

There is growing evidence that intestinal bacteria are important beneficial partners of their
metazoan hosts. Recent observations suggest a strong link between commensal bacteria, …

Adult honeybees harbor a specialized gut microbiota of relatively low complexity. While
seasonal differences in community composition have been reported, previous studies have …

The microbial environment impacts many aspects of metazoan physiology through largely
undefined molecular mechanisms. The commensal strain Lactobacillus plantarum WJL (Lp …

In many animals, females respond to mating with changes in physiology and behavior that
are triggered by molecules transferred by males during mating. In Drosophila melanogaster, …

Background: Lung function impairment persists in some patients for months after acute
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Long-term lung function, radiological features, and their …

Self-testing is an effective tool to bridge the testing gap for several infectious diseases; however,
its performance in detecting SARS-CoV-2 using antigen-detection rapid diagnostic tests …

Nutrient supply to ecosystems has major effects on ecological diversity, but it is unclear to
what degree the shape of this relationship is general versus dependent on the specific …
