DOI: 10.1016/j.funeco.2020.100991
Abstract: Abstract Termites are important plant biomass decomposers. Their digestive activity typically relies on prokaryotes and protozoa present in their guts. In some cases, such as in fungus-growing termites, digestion also relies on ectosymbiosis with specific… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-88855-y
Abstract: Histomonas meleagridis, a protozoan parasite responsible for histomonosis (syn. Blackhead disease, histomoniasis), presents an increasing challenge for poultry health, particularly with the ban of licensed prophylactic and treatment options. Recent studies have explored H. meleagridis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2021.2622
Abstract: Biological communities within living organisms are structured by their host's traits. How host traits affect biodiversity and community composition is poorly explored for some associations, such as arthropods within fungal fruit bodies. Using DNA metabarcoding,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.14436
Abstract: Host‐specific pathogens have long been suggested to act as a major driver of species diversity in tropical forests. However, determining the degree of host specificity of potential pathogens coupled to key cellular characteristics of infection… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.13618
Abstract: Weeds and crop plants select their microbiota from the same pool of soil microorganisms, however, the ecology of weed microbiomes is poorly understood. We analysed the microbiomes associated with roots and rhizospheres of grapevine and… read more here.

Comparative transcriptomics reveal host‐specific nucleotide variation in entomophthoralean fungi
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Molecular Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/mec.13863
Abstract: Obligate parasites are under strong selection to increase exploitation of their host to survive while evading detection by host immune defences. This has often led to elaborate pathogen adaptations and extreme host specificity. Specialization on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mpp.12860
Abstract: Summary Pantoea agglomerans (Pa), a widespread commensal bacterium, has evolved into a host‐specific gall‐forming pathogen on gypsophila and beet by acquiring a plasmid harbouring a type III secretion system (T3SS) and effectors (T3Es). Pantoea agglomerans… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/pbi.13227
Abstract: Summary Sustainable production of biofuels from lignocellulose feedstocks depends on cheap enzymes for degradation of such biomass. Plants offer a safe and cost‐effective production platform for biopharmaceuticals, vaccines and industrial enzymes boosting biomass conversion to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/jvi.01602-19
Abstract: Flaviviruses naturally cycle between the mosquito vector and vertebrate hosts. The disparate hosts provide selective pressures that drive virus genome evolution to maintain efficient replication during host alteration. Host adaptation may occur at different stages… read more here.
