Pathogen adaptation occurs when novel variants gain greater fitness in the current environment than their predecessors. Host immunity, whether vaccination- or infection-induced, could shape the ...

A parasite which has devastating impacts on agriculture and human health is the first pathogen to have its proteins located and mapped within its cells -- providing clues to their function and helping ...

A new way to map the spread and evolution of pathogens, and their responses to vaccines and antibiotics, will provide key insights to help predict and prevent future outbreaks. The approach combines a ...

Evolution of bacterial pathogen populations has been detected in a variety of ways including phenotypic tests, such as metabolic activity, reaction to antisera and drug resistance and genotypic tests ...

The evolution of pathogens has received attention in a wide range of scientific fields, such as epidemiology, demography, and evolutionary ecology. Understanding pathogen evolution is particularly ...

Combining genomic data and human travel patterns over a 14-year period in South Africa reveals key insights into the spread, evolution and resistance patterns of a major bacterium behind pneumonia and ...

The rapid identification and genomic analysis of zoonotic pathogens are critical for safeguarding public health and controlling outbreaks. PathoBase, an advanced computational platform, provides a ...
