Abstract:
... Virulence of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (AIV) is determined by multiple genes and their encoded proteins. In particular, the nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) of viruses is a multifunctional protein that plays an important role in type I interferon (IFN) antagonism, pathogenicity, and determining viral host range. Naturally-occurring truncation or mutation of NS1 during virus evolution ...

Abstract:
... A bifunctional Streptomyces‐E. coli promoter probe vector, pULJA30, has been developed to isolate and characterize nucleotide sequences involved in transcription initiation and regulation. The vector is derived from plasmid pIJ486 [1], carries the pIJ101 replicon and utilizes the promoterless amoniglycoside phosphotransferase (neo) as indicator gene. Important features of the new vector include: w ...

Abstract:
... Understanding the ecological factors involved in successful invasions is essential for choosing appropriate management measures. One mechanism recognized as often being essential for invasion success is for the invasive species to be less subject to attack by natural enemies. The spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) is an Asian pest of fruit crops that has recently appeare ...

Abstract:
... Many plant species produce toxic secondary metabolites that limit attacks by herbivorous insects, and may thereby constrain insect expansion to new hosts. Walnut is a host for the codling moth Cydia pomonella, which efficiently detoxifies the main walnut defensive compound juglone (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone). The oriental fruit moth Grapholita molesta, which also belongs to the tribe Grapholiti ...

Abstract:
... Scolytids have been studied more than any other group of forest insects, but most investigations have been restricted to only a few pest species. This bias hampers our understanding of variation in abundance and pest status. Even the simple question whether the abundance of scolytids can predicted by the same independent variables as their pest status is still a matter of debate. To explore this i ...

Abstract:
... To predict whether an herbivorous pest insect will establish in a new area, the potential host plants must be known. For invading bark beetles, adults must recognize and accept trees suitable for larval development. The preference-performance hypothesis predicts that adults will select host species that maximize the fitness of their offspring. We tested five species of North American conifers and ...

Abstract:
... In 1994, the bacterial parasite Mycoplasma gallisepticum expanded its host range and swept through populations of a novel host -- eastern US populations of the house finch (Carpodacus mexicanus). This epizootic caused a dramatic decline in finch population numbers, has been shown to have caused strong selection on house finch morphology, and presumably caused evolutionary change at the molecular l ...

Serovar E emerged in 1976 as the causative agent of a haemorrhagic septicaemia (warm-water vibriosis) affecting eels cultured in brackish water. Serovar A emerged in 2000 in freshwater-cultured eels vaccinated against serovar E, causing warm-water vibr ...
