A GENITAL INFECTION-ATTENUATED CHLAMYDIA MURIDARUM MUTANT INFECTS THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT AND PROTECTS AGAINST GENITAL TRACT CHALLENGE

A Genital Infection-Attenuated Chlamydia muridarum Mutant Infects the Gastrointestinal Tract and Protects against Genital Tract Challenge

ABSTRACT Chlamydia spp.productively infect mucosal epithelial cells of multiple anatomical sites, including the conjunctiva, lungs, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and urogenital tract.We, and others, previously established that chlamydial GI tropism is mediated by distinct chromosomal and plasmid factors.In this study, we describe a genital infection

Transcriptome profiling of resistant and susceptible Cavendish banana roots following inoculation with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4

Abstract Background Fusarium wilt, caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4), is considered the most lethal disease of Cavendish bananas in the world.The disease can be managed in the field by planting resistant Cavendish plants generated by somaclonal variation.However, little information is available

When can we expect natural habitats to enhance pest control by generalist predators? Insights from a simple, simulated agricultural landscape

Many field studies have reported that natural habitats in the agricultural landscape are associated with increased predator abundance and/or decreased crop pest load.However, recently published meta-analyses have found mixed results, with natural habitats being associated with increased pest loads as often as decreased loads.We NEFF B58CT68H0B N90
