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.

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.
