Changing dynamics of Aedes aegypti invasion and vector-borne disease risk for rural communities in the Peruvian Amazon

K. M. Fikrig, Arnold O. Noriega, Rosa A. Rodriguez, John Bardales, José Rivas, Becker Reyna, Guido Izquierdo, Gissella M. Vásquez, Ryan T. Larson, Amy C. Morrison, Laura C. Harrington

This study shows that Aedes aegypti is invading rural areas in the Peruvian Amazon, with entomological risk levels comparable to dengue-endemic cities, posing a public health threat.

The Rpd3 histone deacetylase is critical for temperature-mediated morphogenesis and virulence in the human fungal pathogen Histoplasma

Nebat Ali, Mark Voorhies, Rosa A. Rodriguez, Anita Sil

This study identifies Rpd3 as essential for temperature-mediated morphogenesis and virulence in Histoplasma by regulating gene expression and histone acetylation.

Rapid gain and loss of a chromosome drives key morphology and virulence phenotypes in Histoplasma, a fungal pathogen of humans

Sarah Heater, Mark Voorhies, Rosa A. Rodriguez, Bevin C. English, Anita Sil

The paper shows that rapid gain and loss of chromosome seven in Histoplasma affects morphology, virulence, and environmental adaptation.

A remarkable expansion of secreted cysteine knot proteins reveals novel virulence factors in the human fungal pathogen Histoplasma

Rosa A. Rodriguez, Dinara Azimova, Mark Voorhies, Bevin C. English, Jane Symington, Anita Sil

The paper identifies a large expansion of knottin genes in Histoplasma and shows their role in virulence and host cell lysis during macrophage infection.
