CD81 is a receptor for equine arteritis virus (family: Arteriviridae) by Sara M. Maloney, Teressa M. Shaw, Kylie M. Nennig, Malorie S. Larsen, Aadit Shah, Ashish Kumar, Joseph Marcotrigiano, Joe Grove, Eric J. Snijder, Robert N. Kirchdoerfer, Adam L. Bailey

“…This study identifies the first example of receptor switching in the Arteriviridae family and, given the broad tissue distribution of CD81 expression, suggests that the adoption of CD81 enabled an expansion of EAV tropism.IMPORTANCEArteriviruses are a family of diverse positive-sense RNA viruses that can infect a wide range of animal hosts, but many details regarding how arteriviruses gain entry into cells remain unclear. Most arteriviruses are thought to utilize the macrophage-specific molecule CD163 as a receptor; however, the horse arterivirus (equine arteritis virus, EAV) infects additional cell types beyond macrophages and does not utilize CD163. …”

The contrasted impacts of grasshoppers on soil microbial activities in function of primary production and herbivore diet by Ibanez, Sébastien, Foulquier, Arnaud, Brun, Charles, Colace, Marie-Pascale, Piton, Gabin, Bernard, Lionel, Gallet, Christiane, Clément, Jean-Christophe

“…Contrary to the predictions of the diet model, the effects of herbivory on microbial characteristics did not depend on the herbivores diet, but were influenced by primary production, though in a way that differed from the productivity model. The most productive sites were constituted by exploitative plant species which depleted N resources in the soil, and by microbes producing relatively few extracellular enzymes, leading to a lower PNM. …”
