One central theme in PHI research is the identification and understanding of virulence factors from various pathogens.

It has been observed for nearly 80 years that Bps can change colony morphology, and recent studies have shown an association between morphotypes and specificity for body compartments, ability to adhere and penetrate epithelial cells or macrophages, and expression of virulence factors.

Their study, the researchers say «establishes a role for cell wall - associated GAG in mediating resistance to killing of Aspergillus by NETs and provides the first example of a virulence factor of A. fumigatus that is able to mediate enhanced virulence when expressed in a less pathogenic Aspergillus species».

The PATR was shown to be integral in the transport of the virulence factors to the surface of the bacterial cell, where they need to be to function as disease - causing agents.

Their findings — that nanotubes and vesicles are an important part of the communications process — show that the extracellular vesicles contribute to the complexity of African trypanosomiasis through the transfer of virulence factors between parasites and inadvertent interaction with host cells, which has a profound effect on disease, the study notes.
