Emergence of a new disease as a result of interspecific virulence gene transfer

Emergence of a new disease as a result of interspecific virulence gene transfer

New diseases of humans, animals and plants emerge regularly. Enhanced virulence on a new host can be facilitated by the acquisition of novel virulence factors. Interspecific gene transfer is known to be a source of such virulence factors in bacterial pathogens (often manifested as pathogenicity isla...
