Fungi represent a common and diverse part of the microbial communities that associate
with plants. They also commonly colonise various plant parts asymptomatically. The molecular
mechanisms of these interactions are, ...

Plasmodium parasites have a complex life cycle that includes development in the human
host as well as the Anopheles vector. Successful transmission of the parasite between its
host and vector therefore requires the ...
