Abstrakt Parasites are found all over the world and there are many different types. However, they are often overlooked due to their small size. Parasites rely on hosts to survive. Hosts are organisms that are needed for completing the parasite’s life cycle. Therefore, parasites are constantly moving from one animal to another. How does this transmission between animals happen?...
The main objective of this study was to propose a novel methodology to approach challenges in molecular biology. Akirin/Subolesin (AKR/SUB) are vaccine protective antigens and are a model for the study of the interactome due to its conserved function in the regulation of different biological processes such as immunity and development throughout the metazoan. Herein, three visual artists and a...
Laboratory of Molecular Ecology and Evolution has funding for a Junior Researcher (postdoc) in the fields of phylogenomics and population genomics.
Amongst articles published between January 2018 and December 2019, his article received some of the highest count of citations. The article generated immediate impact and helped to raise the visibility of Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, The.
Significance It is generally accepted that peroxisomes are absent in anaerobic eukaryotes. These organelles have evolved to compartmentalize oxidative pathways and prevent cellular oxidative damage, namely, the β-oxidation of fatty acids that utilizes molecular oxygen and produces hydrogen peroxide. Mitochondria possess a parallel β-oxidation pathway coupled with the respiratory...
Abstract Insects rely on the innate immune system for defense against pathogens, some aspects of which are under hormonal control. Here we provide direct experimental evidence showing that the juvenile hormone-binding protein (mJHBP) of Aedes aegypti is required for the regulation of innate immune responses and the development of mosquito blood cells (hemocytes). Using an...
Genome evolution in bacterial endosymbionts is notoriously extreme: the combined effects of strong genetic drift and unique selective pressures result in highly reduced genomes with distinctive adaptations to hosts [1, 2, 3, 4]. These processes are mostly known from animal endosymbionts, where nutritional endosymbioses represent the best-studied systems. However, eukaryotic microbes, or...
