Microbe-Host Interactions

Submit Abstract Register Now

Microbes are found everywhere. On daily basis we ingest, inhale, and transport thousands of organisms (i.e., bacterial, viral, protozoal, or parasitic). Most have no ill effects due to protective mechanisms in our body. Humans and animals have “friendly” organisms throughout their bodies that survive as normal flora and colonize a host but do not cause disease. Microbe- Host interactions are the interactions between a microbe (e.g. virus, bacteria) and their host (e.g. humans, plants). Microbe-Host interactions can be described on the population level (virus infections in a human population), on the single-cell level (individual encounters of host and bacteria), on the organismal level (e.g. virus infects host), or on the molecular level (e.g. virus protein binds to receptor on human cell).
