A vaccine that protects piglets from one common influenza virus also makes them more vulnerable to a rarer flu strain,

Although there is no evidence that this H7n7 strain will infect humans, the authors of a study published today in Nature1 say that their finding reinforces the idea that H7 avian viruses are constantly mixing
and compared them to other bird-flu strains, they found H7n9 and H7n7 to be hybrids of wild Eurasian waterfowl strains, such as H7n3 and H11n9.
The scientists think that those viruses swapped genes in domestic ducks before spreading to chickens, where they traded genes with a common chicken virus, H9n2.

When they looked at the strains'antimicrobial resistance, the researchers found that bacteria from humans had more diverse collections of resistance genes than those in local livestock.
This indicates that local livestock cannot be the sole source of the resistance genes found in the strains found in humans.
foreign strains carried by other humans and in imported food probably entered the country and infected animals and humans separately,
Several highly virulent strains of fungi have emerged in recent years around the world, and the oomycete Phytophthora infestans remains a persistent problem even 168 years after causing the great Irish potato famine4.

One of Mccarthy's--and other vaccine opponents'--most popular claims is that thimerosal a mercury-based preservative once common in vaccines causes autism.

But scientists have uncovered just the specific strain of this pathogen through a first-of-its kind procedure--by analyzing potato plants that have been dead for more than a hundred years.
In the mid-19th century travel between the New and Old world increased bringing over new strains of Phytophthora infestans.
One of those strains eventually mutated into a killer. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology took dried plants some from as far back as 170 years ago
Previously it was assumed that a strain known as US-1 was responsible for The irish Potato Famine but this research found that the strain on these dried potato plants is not in fact US-1. It's related
but genetically unique and US-1 was more likely to be the strain that replaced the culprit after it was eliminated.
They've named the new strain HERB-1. This is the first time that scientists have decoded the genome of a plant pathogen from dried plants
and the researchers say that the study holds promise for the future. These findings will greatly help us to understand the dynamics of emerging pathogens one of the researchers says.

The resulting material was both more flexible and able to handle higher amounts of stress than conventionally made steel.
Structural steel should be able to handle a lot of stress but it should also bend a little
when it comes near its stress limit. That way it will give engineers more time to fix it before it fails instead of shattering suddenly.
The gradient helps them deal with stresses such as weather and wearing. The China-U s. team published their steel gradient findings in two papers in the journals Materials Research Letters and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

You have a lot of strains that are silent and then you have these exotic strains that can cause very severe disease says Saeij the Robert A. Swanson Career Development Associate professor of Life sciences.
The goal of the project was to see how different are these South american strains compared to strains that are really prevalent in North america and Europe.
Toxoplasma spores are found in dirt and easily infect farm animals such as cows sheep pigs and chickens.
The strains that circulate most commonly in North america and Europe usually cause problems only in people with suppressed immune systems such as AIDS patients
or transplant recipients although some atypical North american and European strains have been associated with severe ocular toxoplasmosis.
and colleagues infected mouse immune cells known as macrophages with each of the 29 strains they had collected representing global diversity.
Most strikingly some South american and some atypical North american strains induced a type of immune reaction usually only seen during viral infection known as the type 1 interferon response.
which the researchers suspect may be causing the severe effects produced by those strains. Paradoxically the parasite only sets off this immune response after the host cell has killed it spilling the parasite's DNA and RNA into the cell.
However we believe that different strains may have evolved to be able to maintain and reproduce optimally in a specific niche in nature
which may explain why different strains of Toxoplasma have such varying effects in different organisms.
She notes that a strain adapted to long-term survival in rats may cause a fatal infection in mice
which includes gene expression profiles for all 29 strains into a publicly available database for other researchers to use
We hope that other people will now start studying more of these South american strains. Story Source:

When studying the adaptation mechanisms to against salt stress researchers found that several gene families likely to be involved in tolerance to salt stress contain significantly more gene copies in the P. euphratica lineage.
They also compared the P. euphratica in response to salt stress with salt-sensitive poplar (P. tomentosa)
and homeostasis such as Nhad1 KUP3 and NCL were distinctly upregulated under salt stress. The complete genome sequencing of desert poplar revealed the underlying genetic mechanisms of poplar to against salt stress laying a solid foundation for accelerating the genetic breeding of cultivated poplars for saline and desert fields. said Junyi
