The microbiome includes both 'mutualist'and 'pathogen'microbes, regulated by the same
innate immune architecture. A major question has therefore been: how do hosts prevent …

Clinical relevance: In contrast to superficial fungal infections, such as dermatophytosis,
invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are characterised by penetration of tissues by fungal …

Antimicrobial peptides are host-encoded immune effectors that combat pathogens and
shape the microbiome in plants and animals. However, little is known about how the host …

Genomic data from species of the cat family Felidae promise to stimulate veterinary and
human medical advances, and clarify the coherence of genome organization. We describe …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are at the interface of interactions between hosts and
microbes and are therefore expected to be rapidly evolving in a coevolutionary arms race …

Background The liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (LEAP2) is essential in host
immunity against harmful pathogens and is only known to act as an extracellular modulator …

Microsporum canis is considered the common dermatophyte agent associated with
ringworm in felines and canines. In the present study, we sampled n= 548 felines and …
