Developmental and tissue transcriptional profiles of peptidoglycan recognition proteins in the mosquito Aedes aegypti
… that recognize peptidoglycan associated with pathogens like bacteria and can result in intercellular signaling leading to melanization, phagocytosis, or a cascade of antimicrobial peptides that can cause pathogen destruction in a mosquito. PGRP transcript levels in the mosquito Aedes aegypti …

Advanced aerobic digestion to optimize pathogen reduction: Staged pre-treatment in aerobic digestion
… raises public concern regarding the fate of pathogens following land application. The main goal of this work was to determine a plan to help an aerobic digestion WWTP achieve improved pathogen destruction. An approach of studying the effect of a pre-treatment step prior to digestion was …

The Role of Human Guanylate Binding Proteins in Host Defense and Inflammation
<p>Many microbial pathogens have evolved to replicate within host cells. While a number of these pathogens reside within vacuolar compartments, others escape from host endosomal pathways to replicate intracytosolically. To counter microbial invasion, host cells employ numerous defense proteins to …
