ABSTRACT
Biodiversity and its responses to environmental changes are central issues in ecology and for society. Almost all microbial biodiversity research focuses on “species” richness and abundance but not on their interactions. Although a network approach is powerful in describing ecological interactions among species, defining the network ...... hiện toàn bộ Complement Activation Contributes to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Pathogenesis Tập 9 Số 5 - 2018

The complement system is a critical part of host defense to many bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. It works alongside pattern recognition receptors to stimulate host defense systems in advance of activation of the adaptive immune response. In this study, we directly test the role of complement in SARS-CoV pathogenesis using a mouse model and show that respiratory disease is signific...... hiện toàn bộ Conditionally Rare Taxa Disproportionately Contribute to Temporal Changes in Microbial Diversity Tập 5 Số 4 - 2014

ABSTRACT
Microbial communities typically contain many rare taxa that make up the majority of the observed membership, yet the contribution of this microbial “rare biosphere” to community dynamics is unclear. Using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing of 3,237 samples from 42 time series of microbial communities from nine different ecosystems (air; marine; lake; s...... hiện toàn bộ Human Coronavirus 229E Remains Infectious on Common Touch Surface Materials Tập 6 Số 6 - 2015

ABSTRACT
The evolution of new and reemerging historic virulent strains of respiratory viruses from animal reservoirs is a significant threat to human health. Inefficient human-to-human transmission of zoonotic strains may initially limit the spread of transmission, but an infection may be contracted by touching contaminated surfaces. Enveloped viruses are...... hiện toàn bộ
