New Types of Behavioral Manipulation of Host Spiders by a Parasitoid Wasp by William G. Eberhard

“…The larva of the parasitic wasp Zatypota sp. nr. solanoi induces its host spiders Anelosimus spp. to modify its web in ways not seen in normal webs of this species or in any other species, providing apparent protection and support for the wasp's cocoon by covering the entire web with a protective sheet and adding a central platform and opening a space below in the enclosed tangle, where the larva suspends its cocoon. …”

A Sequential Model of Host Cell Killing and Phagocytosis by Entamoeba histolytica by Adam Sateriale, Christopher D. Huston

“…The virulence of Entamoeba histolytica is strongly correlated with the parasite's capacity to effectively kill and phagocytose host cells. The process by which host cells are killed and phagocytosed follows a sequential model of adherence, cell killing, initiation of phagocytosis, and engulfment. …”

Induction of host genes by nested genes during C. elegans development by Fabien Soulavie, Carole Couillault, Matéo Melki, Khulganaa Buyannemekh, Antoine Barrière, Paul Villoutreix, Vincent Bertrand

“…In this study, we analyzed the transcriptional effect during C. elegans development of a striking genomic topology, the opposite nested configuration, where a gene is located in an intron of a host gene in the opposite direction. Using CRISPR genome engineering and single molecule FISH, we characterized the regulatory interactions between ceh-10, a transcription factor involved in neuronal specification, and its host polq-1, a DNA repair enzyme, showing that the nested gene induces transcription of a short version of its host in neurons. …”

Aging‐induced Alternation in the Gut Microbiota Impairs Host Antibacterial Defense by Peng Gu, Rongjuan Wei, Ruofan Liu, Qin Yang, Yuxuan He, Jianbin Guan, Wenhao He, Jiaxin Li, Yunfei Zhao, Li Xie, Jie He, Qingling Guo, Jiajia Hu, Jingna Bao, Wandang Wang, Jiayin Guo, Zhenhua Zeng, Zhongqing Chen, Yong Jiang, Zhanguo Liu, Peng Chen

“…Collectively, the findings suggest that dysbiosis of the gut microbiota may impair host defense mechanisms and increase susceptibility to bacterial infections in older adults and highlight the microbiota‐apigenin‐Fgr axis as a possible route to ameliorate aging‐associated antibacterial defects.…”

Host-Dependent Clustering of Campylobacter Strains From Small Mammals in Finland by Satu Olkkola, Mirko Rossi, Mirko Rossi, Anniina Jaakkonen, Maria Simola, Jouni Tikkanen, Marjaana Hakkinen, Pirkko Tuominen, Otso Huitu, Jukka Niemimaa, Heikki Henttonen, Rauni Kivistö

“…Instead, the phylogeny followed the host species-association. There was some evidence (one strain each) of livestock-associated C. jejuni occurring in a farm-caught A. flavicollis and a brown rat (Rattus norvegicus), indicating that although small mammals may not be the original reservoir of Campylobacter colonizing livestock, they may sporadically carry C. jejuni strains occurring mainly in livestock and be associated with disease in humans.…”
