Oomycetes form a phylogenetically distinct group of eukaryotic microorganisms that include
some of the most notorious pathogens of plants and animals. Through the deployment of a …

Oomycetes were recently discovered as natural pathogens of Caenorhabditis elegans, and
pathogen recognition alone was shown to be sufficient to activate a protective transcriptional …

Polintons are double-stranded DNA, virus-like self-synthesizing transposons widely found in
eukaryotic genomes. Recent metagenomic discoveries of Polinton-like viruses are …

Premise The soils in lowland tropics are teeming with microbial life, which can impact plant
community structure and diversity through plant–soil feedbacks. While bacteria and fungi …

Innate immune responses can be triggered upon detection of pathogen-or damage-
associated molecular patterns by host receptors that are often present on the surface of …

Oomycetes are a group of eukaryotic organisms that includes many important pathogens of
animals and plants. Within this group, the Haptoglossa genus is characterised by the …

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) has proven to be an excellent model for studying host-
microbe interactions and the microbiome, especially in the context of the intestines …

Summary In 2018-2022, during nematological surveys in several Mexican states, a new
species, Xiphinema ficusi sp. n., two known species, X. basiri and X. luci, and four …
