With growing microbial resistance to conventional agents, the need for unconventional therapeutic options has become urgent. Peters and colleagues provide an overview of antimicrobial peptides, their biological functions, mechanism of action, and applicability as alternative therapeutic agents. Featured Research The Arabidopsis Resistance-Like Gene Is Activated by Mutations in and Contributes to Resistance to the Bacterial Effector AvrRps4 Plant resistance proteins are important activators of plant immunity that intercept the foreign proteins of pathogens. Although resistance proteins are generally thought to be highly specific, while studying the interactions between Arabidopsis thaliana and the bacterial plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae Kim et al. detected a surprising level of cross-talk between different resistance proteins under environmental conditions such as low temperature. SRFR1 and these resistance proteins bind to each other, possibly explaining the cross-talk.

While the cuts have been rolled back, we have to stay vigilant. Continuing public health surveillance and continuing vector control are crucial to preventing vector-borne diseases and the morbidity and mortality that they cause. Review Modeling Transmission Dynamics and Control of Vector-Borne Neglected Tropical Diseases Neglected tropical diseases affect more than one billion people worldwide, mostly in resource-limited areas. Mathematical modeling of disease transmission and cost-effectiveness analyses can play a central role in maximizing limited resources by integrating new knowledge of vector and pathogen ecology, incorporating evolutionary responses to interventions, and expanding the scope of sensitivity analysis to achieve robust results.
