Using host traits to predict reservoir host species of rabies virus. by Katherine E L Worsley-Tonks, Katherine E L Worsley-Tonks, Luis E Escobar, Roman Biek, Mariana Castaneda-Guzman, Meggan E Craft, Daniel G Streicker, Lauren A White, Nicholas M Fountain-Jones

“…While Carnivora (carnivores) and Chiroptera (bats) are the canonical mammalian orders known to be responsible for the maintenance and onward transmission of rabies Lyssavirus (RABV), the role of most species within these orders remains unknown and is continually changing as a result of contemporary host shifting. We combined a trait-based analytical approach with gradient boosting machine learning models to identify physiological and ecological host features associated with being a reservoir for RABV. …”

The evolutionary adaptation of wood‐decay macrofungi to host gymnosperms differs from that to host angiosperms by Xuetong Zhang, Yuran Dong, Yuying Li, Xiuping Wu, Siyu Chen, Mingyuan Wang, Yao Li, Zhiwei Ge, Min Zhang, Lingfeng Mao

“…Abstract Wood‐decay macrofungi play a vital role in forest ecosystems by promoting nutrient cycling and soil structure, and their evolution is closely related to their host plants. This study investigates the potential evolutionary adaptation of wood‐decay macrofungi to their host plants, focusing on whether these relationships differ between gymnosperms and angiosperms. …”

Histoplasma Virulence and Host Responses by Mircea Radu Mihu, Joshua Daniel Nosanchuk

“…The disease extent and outcomes are the result of the complex interaction between the pathogen and a host's immune system. The focus of our paper consists in presenting the current knowledge regarding the multiple facets of the dynamic host-pathogen relationship in the context of the virulence arsenal displayed by the fungus and the innate and adaptive immune responses of the host.…”
