Toxoplasma GRA8 engages the host ESCRT accessory protein ALG-2 and is necessary for parasite metabolic integrity

This paper identifies TgGRA8 as a Toxoplasma protein that recruits ALG-2 to the parasitophorous vacuole, essential for parasite metabolism and ESCRT hijacking.

XL-MS-Guided Structure Prediction of Disordered Encephalitozoon hellem Proteins

The paper develops a structure prediction method using XL-MS data for disordered microsporidian proteins with no homologs, successfully modeling two spore wall proteins.

Laboratory transmission of Adult Salmon Enteritis and associated pathogens in juvenile Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

This study shows that oral exposure to infected tissues can induce ASE-like lesions in juvenile Chinook Salmon, suggesting an infectious cause for the disease.
