host genes revealed that the insect significantly increases the abundance of B vitamin transporters and activation enzymes when reared in the absence of its gut microbes.

host, a troubling trait for a pathogen that has so far infected 637 people, killing 378.
The upshot of the study, another indictment of the so - called Western diet (high in saturated fats, sugar and red meat),
