Control of Waterborne Human Viruses by Indigenous Bacteria and Protists Is Influenced by Temperature, Virus Type, and Microbial Species

Tamar Kohn, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Margot Ninon Lauren Olive

Human viruses are ubiquitous contaminants in surface waters, where they can persist over extended periods of time. Among the factors governing their environmental persistence, the control (removal or inactivation) by microorganisms remains poorly understoo ...

Two Nimrod receptors, NimC1 and Eater, synergistically contribute to bacterial phagocytosis in Drosophila melanogaster

Bruno Lemaitre, Jan Paul Dudzic, Elodie Julie Virginie Ramond, Andrew Jonathan Bretscher, Claudia Melcarne

Eater and NimC1 are transmembrane receptors of the Drosophila Nimrod family, specifically expressed in haemocytes, the insect blood cells. Previous ex vivo and in vivoRNAi studies have pointed to their role in the phagocytosis of bacteria. Here, we have cr ...

Microorganisms from surface waters contribute to the inactivation of human echovirus 11: toward biocontrol of viral pathogens?

Tamar Kohn, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Margot Ninon Lauren Olive

Human viruses are widespread as contaminants in surface waters and represent a significant health risk. Viral pathogens can persist in aquatic ecosystems and cause infections via contaminated water or food. Among the different factors governing the environ ...

Genomic diversity and disease prevalence in Ugandan cattle

Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki, Elia Vajana, Pierre Taberlet

Ugandan cattle are represented by three main types: the long-horned Ankole, the short-horned zebu, and the Ankole-zebu crosses called “Nganda”. In the course of the EU-funded project Nextgen, Ugandan cattle have been extensively sampled over the whole coun ...

Microbiota-Induced Changes in Drosophila melanogaster Host Gene Expression and Gut Morphology

Bruno Lemaitre, Nichole Broderick

To elucidate mechanisms underlying the complex relationships between a host and its microbiota, we used the genetically tractable model Drosophila melanogaster. Consistent with previous studies, the microbiota was simple in composition and diversity. Howev ...

Circadian rhythms in insect disease vectors

Antonio Carlos Alves Meireles Filho

Organisms from bacteria to humans have evolved under predictable daily environmental cycles owing to the Earth's rotation. This strong selection pressure has generated endogenous circadian clocks that regulate many aspects of behaviour, physiology and meta ...

The AirBurr: A Flying Robot That Can Exploit Collisions

Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Adrien Briod, Adam Klaptocz

Research made over the past decade shows the use of increasingly complex methods and heavy platforms to achieve autonomous flight in cluttered environments. However, efficient behaviors can be found in nature where limited sensing is used, such as in insec ...

A single gene that promotes interaction of a phytopathogenic bacterium with its insect vector, Drosophila melanogaster

Bruno Lemaitre

Insects are major vectors of plant and animal disease, and bacterial phytopathogens are often disseminated by flies. We have previously reported that some isolates of the phytopathogenic bacterial species Erwinia carotovora infect Drosophila and activate a ...
