Interactions between insect vectors and plant pathogens span the parasitism-mutualism continuum

M. F. M. Santiago, K. C. King, G. C. Drew

This study uses meta-analysis to show phytopathogens have neutral fitness effects on vector hosts, with outcomes spanning parasitism to mutualism, contradicting previous predictions about transmission strategies.

Protective microbe enhances colonisation of a novel host species by modifying immune gene expression

S. A. Ford, K. C. King

The paper shows a protective microbe alters host immune gene expression to enhance its own colonization and protection in a novel host species.

Diversity and disease: evidence for the monoculture effect beyond agricultural systems

A. K. E. Ekroth, C. Rafaluk-Mohr, K. C. King

This study tests the monoculture effect across host and parasite species, finding broad support for genetic diversity reducing disease risk, independent of host traits but influenced by parasite characteristics and environment.
