Organisms across a wide range of taxa use migration as a strategy to avoid, reduce or recover from parasitic infection. Previous work has identified three different processes by which migration can help reduce infection risk and/or costs: migratory escape from infection, migratory culling of infected individuals and migratory recovery from infection. However, most theoretical modelling of host migration...
The enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) effector protein EspG, like the Shigella effector VirA, functions through disruption of the host cell microtubule network. Reports have differed as to whether the EspG homologue, EspG2, is also responsible for microtubule disruption. In this study we show that following translocation, EspG2 and VirA are localised under adherent bacteria and able to restore...
Objective Up to 15% of human cancers can be attributed to infections. Currently there are no known associations between infective agents and childhood brain tumors. We explored childhood brain tumor risk associated with a variety of indicators of infection during gestation and childhood. Methods Two hundred and seventy-two cases of childhood brain tumor diagnosed in children less then 15 years of...
