    Population structuring of multi-copy, antigen-encoding genes in Plasmodium falciparum

    Yael Artzy-Randrup, Mary M Rorick ... Mercedes Pascual
    Mathematical modeling shows that local populations of the malaria parasite self-organize into a limited number of transient but distinct strains through competition for hosts in immunity space.

    Linking rattiness, geography and environmental degradation to spillover Leptospira infections in marginalised urban settings: An eco-epidemiological community-based cohort study in Brazil

    Max T Eyre, Fábio N Souza ... Federico Costa
    While flooding events may drive spillover transmission of Leptospira spp. through dispersal of the bacteria at low elevations, at higher elevations environmental risk is more localised and directly driven by the distribution of local rat reservoir populations.

    An asymmetric sheath controls flagellar supercoiling and motility in the leptospira spirochete

    Kimberley H Gibson, Felipe Trajtenberg ... Charles Vaughn Sindelar
    The corkscrew-like motility of Spirochete bacteria is enabled by a unique, asymmetrically constructed flagellum that wraps around the cell body within the periplasm.

    Meningeal lymphatic drainage promotes T cell responses against Toxoplasma gondii but is dispensable for parasite control in the brain

    Michael A Kovacs, Maureen N Cowan ... Tajie H Harris
    In the setting of CNS infection, meningeal lymphatic drainage promotes dendritic cell and T cell responses in the deep cervical lymph nodes but is not necessary for maintaining control of parasite in the brain.

    Regulatory roles of Escherichia coli 5' UTR and ORF-internal RNAs detected by 3' end mapping

    Philip P Adams, Gabriele Baniulyte ... Joseph T Wade
    Multiple RNA-seq approaches globally mapped RNA 3´ ends resulting in the discovery of numerous and diverse RNA regulators.

    The biomechanical role of extra-axonemal structures in shaping the flagellar beat of Euglena gracilis

    Giancarlo Cicconofri, Giovanni Noselli, Antonio DeSimone
    The 'spinning lasso' geometry of Euglena's beating flagellum is revealed, and a model based on the antagonistic forces exchanged by axoneme and paraflagellar rod is proposed to explain its emergence.

    Genome concentration limits cell growth and modulates proteome composition in Escherichia coli

    Jarno Mäkelä, Alexandros Papagiannakis ... Christine Jacobs-Wagner
    Genome dilution limits cell growth by modulating the activities, rather than the concentrations, of RNA polymerases and ribosomes, and is accompanied by changes in proteome composition.
