Seroprevalence of brucellosis in camels and humans in the Al-Qassim region of Saudi Arabia and its implications for public health by Abdulaziz M. Almuzaini, Abdullah S. M. Aljohani, Ahmed I. Alajaji, Ayman Elbehiry, Adil Abalkhail, Abdulrahman Almujaidel, Sahar N. Aljarallah, Hazem R. Sherif, Eman Marzouk, Abdelmaged A. Draz

“…Abstract Brucellosis is a significant zoonotic disease caused by intracellular, gram-negative bacteria from the genus Brucella. Although camels are classified as secondary hosts for Brucella species, they are among the most susceptible and vulnerable animals to brucellosis, particularly Brucella abortus (B. abortus) and Brucella melitensis (B. melitensis). …”

A relay race of ESCRT-III paralogs drives cell division in a hyperthermophilic archaeon by Junfeng Liu, Mickaël Lelek, Yunfeng Yang, Audrey Salles, Christophe Zimmer, Yulong Shen, Mart Krupovic

“…We propose the “relay race” model, whereby the cytokinesis is achieved through a sequential and concerted action of different ESCRT machinery components.IMPORTANCETwo major cytokinesis mechanisms, rooted in contractile FtsZ and endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) rings, respectively, have emerged in the course of evolution. Whereas bacteria rely on the FtsZ-based mechanism, different lineages of archaea use either of the two systems, and eukaryotes have inherited the ESCRT-based cell division machinery from their archaeal ancestors. …”
