- Abstract:
- ... The Seto Inland Sea, the largest inland sea in Japan, is a rich fishery with high biodiversity and productivity. Monogeneans have been studied for more than 120 years, and 58 nominal species have been recorded in the Seto inland Sea. This study provided DNA information on five species of Benedenia sensu lato (Capsalidae) from marine fishes from the sea, and one of them, Benedenia kobudai n. sp., i ...

- Abstract:
- ... Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a common foodborne pathogenic bacterium and drug‐resistant strains are now widespread. Phages led by drug‐resistant V. parahaemolyticus strains are promising means to decrease the pressure on public health. We isolated a V. parahaemolyticus‐specific bacteriophage F23s1 that was active at wide ranges of temperature (30–60°C) and pH (4–10). Phage F23s1 exhibited a specific ...

- Abstract:
- ... Characterization of bacteriophages facilitates better understanding of their biology, host specificity, genomic diversity, and adaptation to their bacterial hosts. This, in turn, is important for the exploitation of phages for therapeutic purposes, as the use of uncharacterized phages may lead to treatment failure. The present study describes the isolation and characterization of a bacteriophage e ...

- Abstract:
- ... Whitefly-transmitted begomoviruses are among the major threats to the cultivation of Capsicum spp. (Family: Solanaceae) worldwide. Capsicum-infecting begomoviruses (CIBs) have a broad host range and are commonly found in mixed infections, which, in turn, fuels the emergence of better-adapted species through intraspecies and interspecies recombination. Virus-encoded proteins hijack host factors to ...

Phage therapy is considered an alternative strategy for controlling bacterial infections and contamination. In this study, we isolated and characterized the genomes of two A. hydrophila-specific phages, PZL-Ah1 and PZL-Ah8, which, based on t ...

Accurate species-level identification of an etiological agent is crucial for disease diagnosis and management because knowing the agent’s identity connects it with what is known about its host range, geographic distribution, and toxin production potential. This is particularly true in publishing peer-reviewed disease reports, where imprecise and/or incorrect identifications weaken the public knowl ...

- Abstract:
- ... Salmonella, especially drug-resistant Salmonella poses a serious threat to food safety and human health. Herein, we proposed a rapid, accurate and sensitive phage amplification-based analysis (PAA) based on an isolated Salmonella phage T156 with broad host range and potent lysis ability for the quantification of viable Salmonella, as well as rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing. This assay has ...

- Abstract:
- ... Enterobacteria phage P1 expresses two types of tail fibre, S and S'. Despite the wide usage of phage P1 for transduction, the host range and the receptor for its alternative S' tail fibre was never determined. Here, a ΔS-cin Δpac E. coli P1 lysogenic strain was generated to allow packaging of phagemid DNA into P1 phage having either S or S' tail fibre. P1(S') could transduce phagemid DNA into Shig ...

Among the currently identified human tumor viruses, two are small DNA tumor viruses: human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV). The study of small DNA tumor viruses (adenoviruses, polyomaviruses, and papillomaviruses) has facilitated several significant biological dis ...

- Abstract:
- ... This article is part of the Top 10 Unanswered Questions in MPMI invited review series. We consider the state of knowledge on pathogen evolution of novel virulence activities, broadly defined as anything that increases pathogen fitness with the consequence of causing disease in either the qualitative or quantitative senses, including adaptation of pathogens to host immunity and physiology, host spe ...

A field-based approach explored the temporal dynamics of F. virguliforme colonization of corn and soybean roots under different tillage and residue managements. Experiments were conducted in Iowa, Indiana, M ...

- Abstract:
- ... A novel Vibrio alginolyticus phage, VAP7, was isolated from seawater collected from Sanya, Hainan province, China. Whole-genome sequencing analysis revealed that phage VAP7 has a linear, double-stranded DNA genome of 144,685 bp with an average G+C content of 41.9% and a high degree of sequence similarity to Vibrio phage VP-1. Annotation results identified 193 open reading frames and one transfer R ...

Here, we report on a novel lytic virus, designated Blf4, and its host strain Methanoculleus bourgensis E02.3, a methanogenic archaeon belonging to the Methanomicrobiales, both isolated from a commercial biogas plant in Germany. The virus consists of an icosahedral head 60 nm in diameter and a long non-contractile tail of ...
