New work from the University of Wisconsin - Madison is helping unravel the ecological interplay
of important pathogens and their hosts.
In addition to duration, it's also important to consider proven clinical effectiveness
against important pathogens such as Mycoplasma bovis when producers and veterinarians are making on - arrival treatment selections.
However, it is well known that ectoparasites transmit disease, says the Wisconsin epidemiologist, noting that things like ticks and fleas
harbor important pathogens like typhus, bubonic plague, Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
We also sequenced several members of the Burkholderia cenocepacia complex that are
important pathogens in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients.
Current projects target multiple strains
of important pathogens to examine population diversity and identify differences that associate with phenotypes such as virulence, lifestyle, or host niches.
«S. aureus is really the
most important pathogen that colonizes human noses,» he says, so if lugdunin could get rid of it, it would be hard to imagine a negative outcome.
«Isolation of Stb6 is a major breakthrough that will allow deeper understanding of disease resistance mechanisms operating in wheat against
this important pathogen,» says Kanyuka.
Plectosphaerella cucumerina is a model of study, but is also
an important pathogen of vegetable crops such as melon» explains the CSIC researcher at CRAG, Maria Coca.
This indicates that the innovation potential has been substantial for fungicides with new modes of action and excellent performance, not least because some of the older groups have suffered from an erosion of efficacy against
some important pathogens due to the emergence of resistance [see also FRAC 2007 (1)-RSB-.
Retroviruses are
important pathogens, which have attacked vertebrate hosts for millions of years.
During the 2nd CALLISTO cycle, the group worked closely with EAG III - EAG IV - EAG V to select the fifteen most
important pathogens and perform a risk assessment.
During the 2nd cycle of CALLISTO, the group worked closely with EAG III and EAG IV to identify the fifteen most
important pathogens and contribute in finding additional data to be used for the preliminary risk assessment performed by EAG VI.
