Complete functional analysis of type IV pilus components of a reemergent plant pathogen reveals neofunctionalization of paralog genes

M. V. Merfa, X. Zhu, D. Shantharaj, L. M. Gomez, E. Naranjo, N. Potnis, P. A. Cobine, L. De La Fuente

The paper functionally analyzes type IV pilus components in Xylella fastidiosa, revealing neofunctionalization of paralog genes and identifying FimT3 as a DNA receptor essential for natural competence.

The epidemiological signature of pathogen populations that vary in the relationship between free-living survival and virulence

L. M. Gomez, V. A. Meszaros, W. C. Turner, C. B. Ogbunugafor

This study uses a mathematical model to show that small changes in parasite survival across different virulence-survival relationships significantly affect epidemiological outcomes like R0 and infectious peak size.
