Young but not defenceless: antifungal activity during embryonic development of a social insect.

Royal Society open science

Cole EL, Bayne H, Rosengaus RB.
PMID: 32968491
R Soc Open Sci. 2020 Aug 26;7(8):191418. doi: 10.1098/rsos.191418. eCollection 2020 Aug.

Termites live in environments heavily colonized by diverse microorganisms, including pathogens. Eggs laid within the nest are likely to experience similar pathogenic pressures as those experienced by older nest-mates. Consequently, eggs may be under selective pressures to be immune-competent....

[Analysis of urinary stone composition by infrared spectroscopy in the population of the European part of Russia].

Urologiia (Moscow, Russia : 1999)

Smirnova VI, Lebedev DG, Lapin SV, Emanuel VL, E RV.
PMID: 34967159
Urologiia. 2021 Dec;(6):20-24.

INTRODUCTION: Urolithiasis is one of the most common urological diseases, which affect at least 3% of the population.AIM: To study the epidemiology of urolithiasis in the European part of the Russian Federation and to determine the composition of urinary...

Disease risk as a cost of outbreeding in the termite Zootermopsis angusticollis.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Rosengaus RB, Traniello JF.
PMID: 11607413
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1993 Jul 15;90(14):6641-5. doi: 10.1073/pnas.90.14.6641.

The effect of the sibship of primary reproductives on mate mortality and the survivorship and growth of incipient colonies was studied in the dampwood termite Zootermopsis angusticollis. Males and females paired with nonsibling mates had higher mortality during the...

Pathogen-induced maternal effects result in enhanced immune responsiveness across generations.

Ecology and evolution

Rosengaus RB, Hays N, Biro C, Kemos J, Zaman M, Murray J, Gezahegn B, Smith W.
PMID: 28479992
Ecol Evol. 2017 Mar 22;7(9):2925-2935. doi: 10.1002/ece3.2887. eCollection 2017 May.

Parental investment theory postulates that adults can accurately perceive cues from their surroundings, anticipate the needs of future offspring based on those cues, and selectively allocate nongenetic resources to their progeny. Such context-dependent parental contributions can result in phenotypically...

Insects

Cole EL, Empringham JS, Biro C, Thompson GJ, Rosengaus RB.
PMID: 32120840
Insects. 2020 Feb 27;11(3). doi: 10.3390/insects11030149.

Natural selection should favor the transfer of immune competence from one generation to the next in a context-dependent manner. Transgenerational immune priming (TGIP) is expected to evolve when species exploit pathogen-rich environments and exhibit extended overlap of parent-offspring generations....

Electronic Consults for Infectious Diseases in a United States Multisite Academic Health System.

Open forum infectious diseases

Wood BR, Bender JA, Jackson S, Rosengaus L, Pottinger PS, Gottlieb GS, Dhanireddy S, Harrington RD, Pruzhanskaya Y, Chew LD, Scott JD.
PMID: 32328507
Open Forum Infect Dis. 2020 Mar 20;7(4):ofaa101. doi: 10.1093/ofid/ofaa101. eCollection 2020 Apr.

We launched Infectious Disease electronic consultations (eConsults) in 2018. During the first 15.5 months, primary care practitioners submitted 328 eConsults; the most frequent reasons were a positive culture or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) result, syphilis, and latent tuberculosis. Practitioners...

Symbiont-derived β-1,3-glucanases in a social insect: mutualism beyond nutrition.

Frontiers in microbiology

Rosengaus RB, Schultheis KF, Yalonetskaya A, Bulmer MS, DuComb WS, Benson RW, Thottam JP, Godoy-Carter V.
PMID: 25484878
Front Microbiol. 2014 Nov 21;5:607. doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2014.00607. eCollection 2014.

Termites have had a long co-evolutionary history with prokaryotic and eukaryotic gut microbes. Historically, the role of these anaerobic obligate symbionts has been attributed to the nutritional welfare of the host. We provide evidence that protozoa (and/or their associated...

Pathogen alarm behavior in a termite: A new form of communication in social insects.

Die Naturwissenschaften

Rosengaus RB, Jordan C, Lefebvre ML, Traniello JF.
PMID: 10551951
Naturwissenschaften. 1999 Nov;86(11):544-8. doi: 10.1007/s001140050672.

Dampwood termites, Zootermopsis angusticollis, show an alarm response after detecting the presence of spores of the pathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae. Termites in direct contact with a high concentration of spores (10(7) spores/ml) show a striking vibratory display which appears...

Transcriptomics reveals specific molecular mechanisms underlying transgenerational immunity in .

Ecology and evolution

Roesel CL, Rosengaus RB, Smith W, Vollmer SV.
PMID: 33144962
Ecol Evol. 2020 Sep 17;10(20):11251-11261. doi: 10.1002/ece3.6764. eCollection 2020 Oct.

The traditional view of innate immunity in insects is that every exposure to a pathogen triggers an identical and appropriate immune response and that prior exposures to pathogens do not confer any protective (i.e., adaptive) effect against subsequent exposure...
