Pathogen-microbiome interactions and the virulence of an entomopathogenic fungus

M. R. Kolp, Y. d. A. Acosta, W. Brewer, H. L. Nichols, E. B. Goldstein, K. Tallapragada, B. J. Parker

The paper investigates how bacteria influence the virulence of an aphid-specific fungus, showing that protective bacteria reduce fungal virulence and that fungi can acquire host-associated bacteria during infection.

Plasma cells are formed in waning germinal centers via an affinity-independent process

H. J. Sutton, B. J. Parker, M. Lofgren, C. Dacon, D. Chatterjee, X. Gao, H. G. Kelly, R. A. Seder, J. Tan, A. H. Idris, T. Neeman, I. A. Cockburn

The paper tracks Ighg2A10 cells in germinal centers using single-cell RNA-seq and finds that plasma cells form in waning GCs through an affinity-independent process.

Variation in density, immune gene suppression, and co-infection outcomes among strains of the aphid endosymbiont Regiella insecticola

E. B. Goldstein, Y. de Anda Acosta, L. M. Henry, B. J. Parker

This study examines variation in density and immune gene suppression among Regiella insecticola strains and shows higher-density strains outcompete lower-density ones in co-infections.

Intraspecific variation in immune gene expression and heritable symbiont density

H. L. Nichols, E. B. Goldstein, O. Saleh Ziabari, B. J. Parker

This paper shows that variation in immune gene expression and symbiont density in pea aphids is linked to host genetic differences and symbiont species, with Regiella suppressing immune genes to increase its density.

Intraspecific variation in symbiont density in an insect-microbe symbiosis

B. J. Parker, J. Hrcek, A. H. C. McLean, J. A. Brisson, H. C. J. Godfray

The paper examines variation in symbiont density between host and symbiont genotypes and finds that higher densities correlate with survival costs but not protection against fungus, suggesting antagonistic coevolutionary dynamics.
