Quorum Sensing and Biofilm Dynamics in Pathogens: An Evolving Frontier in Infectious Disease
Abstract: Bacterial and fungal pathogens rarely act as solitary invaders. Instead, they engage in sophisticated chemical communication known as quorum sensing (QS) to coordinate population-wide behaviours and construct structured, multicellular biofilm communities. These biofilms, composed of extracellular polymeric substances, not only facilitate microbial persistence on biotic and abiotic surfaces but also confer remarkable protection against host immune defenses and antimicrobial therapies. QS systems act as central regulators of biofilm dynamics, orchestrating …

Common Diseases of Silkworm and Their Management – A Comprehensive Overview
Abstract: Silkworms (Bombyxmori L.), pivotal to the sericulture industry, are susceptible to various diseases that significantly impact cocoon production and quality. Common silkworm diseases include viral, bacterial, fungal, and protozoan infections. Prominent viral diseases, such as nuclear polyhedrosis (NPV) and cytoplasmic polyhedrosis (CPV) often cause mass mortality in larvae. Bacterial diseases, like flacherie, are typically induced by poor hygiene and environmental stress. Fungal infections, including muscardine caused by Beauveria bassiana, proliferate …
