Infectious disease dynamics: what characterizes a successful invader? by May, R, Gupta, S, McLean, A

Pyoverdin cheats fail to invade bacterial populations in stationary phase by Ghoul, M, Griffin, A, West, S, McCorkell, F, Lee, Z, Bruce, J

“…These results suggest that whether a non-producing mutant can invade will depend upon when the mutation arises, as well as the population structure, and raise a potential difficulty with the use of antimicrobial treatment strategies that propose to exploit the invasive abilities of cheats.…”

Lionfish (Pterois spp.) invade the upper-bathyal zone in the western Atlantic by Gress, E, Andradi-Brown, D, Woodall, L, Schofield, P, Stanley, K, Rogers, A

Control fast or control smart: when should invading pathogens be controlled? by Thompson, RN, Gilligan, C, Cunniffe, N

“… The intuitive response to an invading pathogen is to start disease management as rapidly as possible, since this would be expected to minimise the future impacts of disease. …”

Management of invading pathogens should be informed by epidemiology rather than administrative boundaries by Thompson, R, Cobb, R, Gilligan, C, Cunniffe, N

“…The spatial extent of control is often informed solely by administrative geography – for example, quarantine of an entire county or state once an invading disease is detected – with little regard for pathogen epidemiology. …”

Close association of invading Plasmodium berghei and beta integrin in the Anopheles gambiae midgut. by Mahairaki, V, Lycett, G, Sidén-Kiamos, I, Sinden, R, Louis, C

“…Finally, the antibody detects a structural change in the midgut epithelial cells in the immediate vicinity of the invading ookinete, which is consistent with Plasmodium-induced apoptosis followed by wound healing. …”

Population regulation by enemies of the grass Brachypodium sylvaticum: demography in native and invaded ranges. by Roy, B, Coulson, T, Blaser, W, Policha, T, Stewart, J, Blaisdell, G, Güsewell, S

“…These experiments were replicated at multiple sites in both the native and invaded ranges of the grass Brachypodium sylvaticum. …”

Zombie marks invade New Zealand! How scared should the rest of the world be? by Handler, M, Burrell, R

The wMel Wolbachia strain blocks dengue and invades caged Aedes aegypti populations. by Walker, T, Johnson, P, Moreira, L, Iturbe-Ormaetxe, I, Frentiu, F, McMeniman, C, Leong, Y, Dong, Y, Axford, J, Kriesner, P, Lloyd, A, Ritchie, SA, O'Neill, S, Hoffmann, A

“…Under semi-field conditions, the wMel strain increased from an initial starting frequency of 0.65 to near fixation within a few generations, invading A. aegypti populations at an accelerated rate relative to trials with the wMelPop-CLA strain. …”

Dietary niche constriction when invaders meet natives: evidence from freshwater decapods by Jackson, MC, Grey, J, Miller, K, Britton, JR, Donohue, I

“…Understanding competitive interactions between invaders and functionally similar native species provides an important benchmark for predicting the consequences of invasion. …”

Papain-like cysteine proteases: key players at molecular battlefields employed by both plants and their invaders. by Shindo, T, Van der Hoorn, R

Cardiac tumors invading the right ventricle; Aggressive Surgical Management with backup mechanical circulatory support if necessary by Monteagudo-Vela, M, Riesgo-Gil, F, Smail, H, García-Saez, D, Hassan, B, Simon, A

“…</p> <p>One patient had biventricular involvement, the septum was involved in 4 patients, 2 patients had extracardiac growth, one invading both great vessels, one involving the pericardium and the hilar structures on the right side.…”

CRISPR immunity relies on the consecutive binding and degradation of negatively supercoiled invader DNA by Cascade and Cas3. by Westra, E, van Erp, P, Künne, T, Wong, S, Staals, R, Seegers, C, Bollen, S, Jore, M, Semenova, E, Severinov, K, de Vos, WM, Dame, RT, de Vries, R, Brouns, S, van der Oost, J

“…The target is then progressively unwound and cleaved by the joint ATP-dependent helicase activity and Mg(2+)-dependent HD-nuclease activity of Cas3, leading to complete target DNA degradation and invader neutralization.…”

Recombinant Salmonella typhimurium strains that invade nonphagocytic cells are resistant to recognition by antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes. by Gao, X, Tite, J, Lipscombe, M, Rowland-Jones, S, Ferguson, D, Mcmichael, A

Transitional cell carcinoma of the kidney invading the inferior vena cava, treated by excision and grafting, with a review of vena cava replacement. by Ord, J, Potter, M, Reynard, J, Cranston, D

Will an outbreak exceed available resources for control? Estimating the risk from invading pathogens using practical definitions of a severe epidemic by Thompson, RN, Gilligan, CA, Cunniffe, NJ

Interactions among multiple invasive animals by Jackson, MC

“…Opposing theories predict that invaders can either hinder or promote one another's success. …”

Using stable isotope analysis to answer fundamental questions in invasion ecology: Progress and prospects by McCue, MD, Javal, M, Clusella-Trullas, S, Le Roux, JJ, Jackson, MC, Ellis, AG, Richardson, DM, Valentine, AJ, Terblanche, JS

“…What makes some species successful invaders while others fail, and why some invaders have major impacts in invaded ecosystems are pivotal questions that are attracting major research effort. …”

Biology, chance, or history? The predictable reassembly of temperate grassland communities. by Petermann, J, Fergus, A, Roscher, C, Turnbull, L, Weigelt, A, Schmid, B

“…Invaders hence complement communities with originally low richness levels. …”
