This study shows Mycoplasma gallisepticum suppresses host immune responses by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration via itaconate, while inducing local inflammation.

This study examines how Mycoplasma gallisepticum infection affects mitochondrial respiration in house finches, finding reduced respiration rates at different stages of infection.

This study shows that captivity in cages reduces red carotenoid circulation and increases mitochondrial respiratory rates in house finches, supporting a link between carotenoid metabolism and mitochondrial function.
