Identification of regulators of Toxoplasma gondii bradyzoite development and cyst formation
is the most direct way to address the importance of parasite development in long-term …

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan pathogen of humans that can cross the
placenta and result in adverse pregnancy outcomes and long-term birth defects. The …

The microbiome of flowers (anthosphere) is an understudied compartment of the plant
microbiome. Within the flower, petals represent a heterogeneous environment for microbes in …

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a Gram-positive bacterium and a significant health threat with
the populations most at risk being children, the elderly, and the immuno-compromised. To …

The intracellular parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, has developed sophisticated molecular strategies
to subvert host processes and promote growth and survival. During infection, T. gondii …

Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) feed exclusively on vertebrate blood. After a blood meal, the
enteric endosymbiont Sodalis glossinidius is exposed to various environmental stressors …

Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) house a taxonomically diverse microbiota that includes
environmentally acquired bacteria, maternally transmitted symbiotic bacteria, and pathogenic …

Cyst formation is a key feature of the T. gondii life cycle but the genetic networks that drive
this process are not yet fully characterized. To identify new components of this network, we …

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan pathogen of humans that causes severe
disease in immunocompromised patients and in the developing fetus. T. gondii specifically …

The placenta is a critical barrier against viral, bacterial, and eukaryotic pathogens. For most
teratogenic pathogens, the precise molecular mechanisms of placental resistance are still …
