Wolbachia pipientis is an intracellular alphaproteobacterium that infects 40-60% of insect species and is well known for host reproductive manipulations. Although Wolbachia are primarily maternally tr
Ulcerative colitis (UC) develops through a complicated interaction between the host and microbiota. Intestinal fibroblasts are suggested to play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of UC. However, the i
Acanthamoeba interacts with a plethora of microorganisms and plays dual role as a phagocytic predator and an environmental host of other microbes, including bacteria, fungi, and giant viruses.
A challenging task to reveal health and disease-associated microbiome signatures is to disentangle regulatory networks of microbes among themselves and with their host. Using the integrated Drosophila
Leishmania braziliensis infection results in inflammation and skin injury, with highly variable and unpredictable clinical outcomes. Here, we investigated the potential impact of microbiota on infecti
