Communication between parasites and their hosts is a central determinant of infection outcome, shaping parasite survival, tissue tropism, immune modulation, ...

Fungal extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-bound structures that have emerged as critical mediators in the complex interplay between fungal pathogens and their hosts. These vesicles, which carry ...

The term “host-pathogen interactions” refers to the dynamic interplay between the host organism (such as humans and/or animals) and the infective agent (such as parasites, fungi, viruses or bacteria).

A team led by Prof Kiavash Movahedi (VUB, VIB) has mapped in detail how the immune system acts against pathogens invading the brain. The findings shed new light on host-pathogen interactions and the ...

Pontus Nordenfelt (left, photo by Tove Smeds) is an Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer at Lund University (Sweden) who uses a range of techniques to study initial host–pathogen interactions. In ...

A research team reports that a parasite tricks mitochondria into shedding large structures from their 'skin', thus turning off their defenses. Mitochondria are known as energy suppliers for our cells, ...

In a recent study published in the PLOS Pathogens journal, researchers examine the present body of information regarding severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) interactions.

Future Microbiol. 2010;5(2):267-288. The development and use of informatics tools and databases for glycobiology and glycomics research has increased considerably in recent years. However, the general ...
