Understanding how pathogens evolve is a fundamental component of learning how to protect ourselves and our world from pests and diseases. Yet we are constantly underestimating pathogen evolution such ...

Pathogen adaptation occurs when novel variants gain greater fitness in the current environment than their predecessors. Host immunity, whether vaccination- or infection-induced, could shape the ...

Host–parasite interactions represent an intricate interplay between pathogenic organisms and their hosts, shaping evolutionary trajectories through reciprocal adaptations. This coevolutionary process ...

This study was led by Dr Xin Zhou, Prof. Sybren de Hoog (Radboud UMC Center of Expertise for Mycology, Netherlands), and Prof. Peiying Feng (Sun Yat-Sen University, China). Through comparative genomic ...

Between July and October 2023, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1) was detected in animals on 27 fur farms in Finland. The outbreak, traced to wild birds, revealed significant virus ...

A research team reports that a parasite tricks mitochondria into shedding large structures from their 'skin', thus turning off their defenses. Mitochondria are known as energy suppliers for our cells, ...

You will be redirected to our submission process. The study of emerging and zoonotic viral diseases represents a critical area in infectious disease research, with implications for human, animal, and ...

A pathogen is a living thing that causes disease. Viruses and bacteria can be pathogens, but there are also other types of pathogens. Every single living thing, even bacteria themselves, can get ...
