Journal ArticleDOI

Two novel venom proteins underlie divergent parasitic strategies between a generalist and a specialist parasite.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the divergent adaptation of a specialist and a generalist drosophilid parasitoid and find that a novel protein (Lar) enables active immune suppression by lysing the host lymph glands, eventually leading to successful parasitism by the generalist.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neofunctionalization of an ancient domain allows parasites to avoid intraspecific competition by manipulating host behaviour

TL;DR: In this paper, the Drosophila parasite Leptopilina boulardi was used as a study system and a set of genes that allow a parasitic wasp to minimize intraspecific competition by inducing hosts to escape before more wasps can parasitize them were identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes within the bacterial communities in aquacultural environment.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors conducted 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to monitor the dynamics of bacterial community compositions in one shrimp farm from 2019 to 2020, and found that Vibrio spp. positively interacted with the above species, leading to the sequencing of their isolates to further understand the sharing of the resistant genomic islands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identifying host-specific amino acid signatures for influenza A viruses using an adjusted entropy measure

TL;DR: In this paper , an adjusted entropy-based host-specific signature identification method was proposed to incorporate the amino acid substitution information and improve the identification performance of PB2 protein sequences and identify host specific PB2 amino acid signatures.
