Cross-Species Infections and Their Analysis

Abstract excerpt

The ability of certain pathogens to infect multiple hosts has led to the development of genetically tractable nonvertebrate hosts to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of interactions between these pathogens and their hosts. The use of plant, insect, nematode, and protozoan hosts to study human pathogens has facilitated the elucidation of molecular nature of pathogenesis and host responses. Analyses of virulence...
