Long rDNA amplicon sequencing of insect-infecting nephridiophagids reveals their affiliation to the Chytridiomycota (Fungi) and a potential to switch between hosts

J. F. H. Strassert, C. Wurzbacher, V. Herve, T. Antany, A. Brune, R. Radek

The paper uses long-read rDNA sequencing to classify nephridiophagids as Chytridiomycota fungi and shows host-switching potential.

When to care and when to kill: termites shape their collective response based on stage of infection

H. E. Davis, S. Meconcelli, R. Radek, D. P. McMahon

This study shows termites adjust their social behaviors based on the infection stage of nestmates, with grooming increasing after spore germination and cannibalism occurring only when termites are visibly ill.

Clay-induced DNA double-strand breaks underlay genetic diversity, antibiotic resistance and could be a molecular basis for asbestos-induced cancer

A. Rodriguez-Rojas, R. Radek, J. Rodriguez-Beltran, J. Blazquez, E. Gonzalez-Tortuero

The paper investigates how clay and asbestos fibers induce DNA double-strand breaks in bacteria, potentially contributing to antibiotic resistance and genetic diversity.
