(University of Pretoria, 2017)Increased anthropogenic activities such as urbanisation and the bushmeat trade increase the degree of contact humans have with non-human primates. Zoonotic pathogens have increased the risk of disease emergence significantly. ...
-
(MDPI, 2019-10)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, ...
-
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-06-09)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 ...
-
(The Royal Society, 2013-01)According to the “good genes” hypothesis, females choose males based on traits that indicate the male’s genetic quality in terms of disease resistance. The “immunocompetence handicap hypothesis (ICHH)” proposed that ...

(Wiley, 2022-05)Please read abstract in the article.
-
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2017-10-27)The hyper-arid central region of the Namib Desert is characterized by quartz desert pavement terrain that is devoid of vascular plant covers. In this extreme habitat the only discernible surface covers are epilithic lichens ...
-
(MDPI, 2021-03-01)AfricaAvocado (Persea americana) is an economically important fruit crop world-wide, the production of which is challenged by notable root pathogens such as Phytophthora cinnamomi and Rosellinia necatrix. Arguably the most ...
-
(Elsevier, 2010-09)Phytophthora pinifolia is the causal agent of the recently discovered needle disease of Pinus radiata in Chile, referred to as “Daño Foliar del Pino” (DFP). The genetic structure of the pathogen population is unknown, which ...

African horse sickness virus NS4 is a nucleocytoplasmic protein that localizes to PML nuclear bodies (Society for General Microbiology, 2020-04)African horse sickness virus (AHSV) is the causative agent of the often fatal disease African horse sickness in equids. The non-structural protein NS4 is the only AHSV protein that localizes to the nucleus. Here we report ...
-
(Elsevier, 2021-06)African horse sickness virus (AHSV) non-structural protein NS4 is a nucleocytoplasmic protein that is expressed in the heart, lung, and spleen of infected horses, binds dsDNA, and colocalizes with promyelocytic leukemia ...
-
(Public Library of Science, 2012-10-29)Little is known about mate choice preferences outside Western, educated, industrialised, rich and democratic societies, even though these Western populations may be particularly unrepresentative of human populations. To ...
-
(Elsevier, 2020-12)Salmonella biofilms are a common cause of contaminations in the food or feed industry. In a screening for novel compounds to combat biofilm-associated foodborne outbreaks, we identified agaric acid as a Salmonella Typhimurium ...
-
(Elsevier, 2021-03)Invasive insects and pathogens are prominent tree mortality agents in forests around the world, and the magnitude of their impacts is increasing. Comparative studies across multiple populations can be helpful for the ...
-
(Elsevier, 2019-09)Functional association between genomic loci and specific biological traits remains lacking in many fungi, including the African tree pathogen Ceratocystis albifundus. This is mainly because of the absence of suitable ...
-
(Nature Publising Group, 2018-07-12)Understanding the impact of oceanographic features on marine microbial ecosystems remains a major ecological endeavour. Here we assess microbial diversity, community structure and functional capacity along the Agulhas ...
-
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-03)Dispersal is a critical yet poorly understood factor underlying macroecological patterns in microbial communities. Airborne microbial transport is assumed to occupy a central role in determining dispersal outcomes, and ...
-
(Microbiology Society, 2020-04)In prokaryotic taxonomy, a set of criteria is commonly used to delineate species. These criteria are generally based on cohesion at the phylogenetic, phenotypic and genomic levels. One such criterion shown to have promise ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2009-07-16)Pinus patula is the single most important commercial plantation forest tree species in South Africa. It accounts for 52% approximately (700,000 ha) of total commercial plantation area in the country and is utilised for saw ...

(AOSIS OpenJournals, 2015-07)The Afrikaner population was founded mainly by European immigrants that arrived in South Africa from 1652. However, female slaves from Asia and Africa and local KhoeSan women may have contributed as much as 7% to this ...
