Malaria parasites regulate intra-erythrocytic development duration via serpentine receptor 10 to coordinate with host rhythms by Subudhi, A.K., O’Donnell, A.J., Ramaprasad, A., Abkallo, Hussein M., Kaushik, A., Ansari, H.R., Abdel-Haleem, A.M., Rached, F.B., Kaneko, O., Culleton, R., Reece, S.E., Pain, A.

“…Combining in vivo and in vitro approaches utilizing rodent and human malaria parasites, we reveal that: (i) 57% of Plasmodium chabaudi genes exhibit daily rhythms in transcription; (ii) 58% of these genes lose transcriptional rhythmicity when the IDC is out-of-synchrony with host rhythms; (iii) 6% of Plasmodium falciparum genes show 24 h rhythms in expression under free-running conditions; (iv) Serpentine receptor 10 (SR10) has a 24 h transcriptional rhythm and disrupting it in rodent malaria parasites shortens the IDC by 2-3 h; (v) Multiple processes including DNA replication, and the ubiquitin and proteasome pathways, are affected by loss of coordination with host rhythms and by disruption of SR10. …”

“…In the light of the urgency raised by the COVID-19 pandemic, global investment in wildlife virology is likely to increase, and new surveillance programmes will identify hundreds of novel viruses that might someday pose a threat to humans. To support the extensive task of laboratory characterization, scientists may increasingly rely on data-driven rubrics or machine learning models that learn from known zoonoses to identify which animal pathogens could someday pose a threat to global health. …”

Long-term evidence for ecological intensification as a pathway to sustainable agriculture by MacLaren, C., Mead, A., Balen, D. van, Claessens, Lieven, Etana, A., Haan, J. de, Haagsma, W., Jack, O., Keller, T., Labuschagne, J., Myrbeck, A., Necpalova, M., Nziguheba, G., Six, Johan, Strauss, J., Swanepoel, P.A., Thierfelder, Christian L., Topp, C., Tshuma, F., Verstegen, H., Walker, R., Watson, C., Wesselink, M., Storkey, J.

“…Ecological intensification (EI) could help return agriculture into a ‘safe operating space’ for humanity. Using a novel application of meta-analysis to data from 30 long-term experiments from Europe and Africa (comprising 25,565 yield records), we investigated how field-scale EI practices interact with each other, and with N fertilizer and tillage, in their effects on long-term crop yields. …”
