Population structure of the rice blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae in the context of elevated host heterogeneity

This study analyzes P. oryzae genomes from the Yuanyang Terraces to show increased genomic diversity and lineage complexity compared to global populations, suggesting long-term crop diversity drives pathogen adaptation.

Ecology, genomics and biocontrol potential of bacteriophages infecting the bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum species complex in Reunion Island

The paper investigates bacteriophages infecting Ralstonia solanacearum in Reunion Island, identifies locally adapted phages, and develops a phage cocktail to control bacterial wilt.

Distribution of antibiotic resistance genes across contrasted tropical agroecosystems in Reunion Island

This study assesses antibiotic resistance genes and residues in tropical agroecosystems, finding high ARG prevalence in amended soils and manure, with potential human exposure through food chains.

Identification of ESBL-producing enterobacterales from vegetable plants in a rural area of Madagascar: insights into AMR transmission at the human-animal-environment-plant interface

The paper identifies ESBL-producing Enterobacterales on vegetable plants in Madagascar, showing genetic links to human, animal, and environmental strains.

Time-calibrated genomic evolution of a monomorphic bacterium during its establishment as an endemic crop pathogen

The paper reconstructs the time-calibrated genomic evolution of a bacterium during its establishment as a crop pathogen, finding high gene turnover rates in the accessory genome.

Plasmodium vivax Malaria viewed through the lens of an eradicated European strain

The paper generates a genome from a historical European Plasmodium vivax strain, revealing its evolutionary relationship to American strains and the presence of drug resistance variants predating their use.
