PROBLEM: Paragraph: Determining the fitness of viral genotypes has become a standard practice in virology as it is essential to evaluate their evolutionary potential. Darwinian fitness, defined as the advantage of a given genotype with respect to a reference one, is a complex property that captures, in a single figure, differences in performance at every stage of viral infection. To what extent does viral fitness result from specific molecular interactions with host factors and regulatory networks during infection? Can we identify host genes in functional classes whose expression depends on viral fitness? Here, we compared the transcriptomes of tobacco plants infected with seven genotypes of tobacco etch potyvirus that differ in fitness. We found that the larger the fitness differences among genotypes, the more dissimilar the transcriptomic profiles are. Consistently, two different mutations, one in the viral RNA polymerase and another in the viral suppressor of RNA silencing, resulted in significantly similar gene expression profiles. Moreover, we identified host genes whose expression showed a significant correlation, positive or negative, with the virus' fitness. Differentially expressed genes which were positively correlated with viral fitness activate hormone-and RNA silencing-mediated pathways of plant defense. In contrast, those that were negatively correlated with fitness affect metabolism, reducing growth, and development. Overall, these results reveal the high information content of viral fitness and suggest its potential use to predict differences in genomic profiles of infected hosts.

PROBLEM: Paragraph: Contact patterns among hosts are considered as one of the most critical factors contributing to unequal pathogen transmission. Consequently, networks have been widely applied in infectious disease modeling. However most studies assume static network structure due to lack of accurate observation and appropriate analytic tools. In this study we used high temporal and spatial resolution animal position data to construct a high-resolution contact network relevant to infectious disease transmission. The animal contact network aggregated at hourly level was highly variable and dynamic within and between days, for both network structure (network degree distribution) and individual rank of degree distribution in the network (degree order). We integrated network degree distribution and degree order heterogeneities with a commonly used contact-based, directly transmitted disease model to quantify the effect of these two sources of heterogeneity on the infectious disease dynamics. Four conditions were simulated based on the combination of these two heterogeneities. Simulation results indicated that disease dynamics and individual contribution to new infections varied substantially among these four conditions under both parameter settings. Changes in the contact network had a greater effect on disease dynamics for pathogens with smaller basic reproduction number (i.e. R 0 , 2).

PROBLEM: Paragraph: Objective-The major challenges in using amniotic fluid (AF) cultivation techniques to diagnose microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC) are: 1) several days are typically required to obtain results, and 2) many organisms implicated in the pathogenesis of human disease are difficult to culture. Here, we compare the performance of AF culture with a novel technique for the diagnosis of MIAC that can provide results within eight hours by combining broad-range realtime polymerase chain reaction with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PCR/ESI-MS) to identify and quantify genomic material from bacteria and viruses in AF. Methods-AF samples obtained by transabdominal amniocentesis from 142 women with preterm labor (PTL) and intact membranes were analyzed using cultivation techniques (aerobic, anaerobic and genital mycoplasmas) as well as PCR/ESI-MS. The prevalence and relative magnitude of intra-amniotic inflammation [AF Interleukin 6 (IL-6) concentration 2.6 ng/mL], acute histologic chorioamnionitis, spontaneous preterm delivery, and perinatal mortality were examined according to the results of these two tests. Results-1) The prevalence of MIAC in patients with preterm labor and intact membranes was 7% using standard cultivation techniques and 12% using PCR/ESI-MS; 2) seven of ten patients with positive AF culture also had positive PCR/ESI-MS [17 genome equivalents per PCR reaction well (GE/well)] 3) patients with positive PCR/ESI-MS (17 GE/well) and negative AF cultures had significantly higher rates of intra-amniotic inflammation and histologic acute chorioamnionitis, shorter intervals to delivery [median (interquartile range-IQR)], and offspring at higher risk of perinatal mortality, than women with both tests negative [90% (9/10) vs. 32% (39/122); (p<0.001); 70% (7/10) vs. 35% (39/112); (p=0.04); 1 (IQR: <1 -2) days vs. 25 (IQR: 5 -51) days; (p=0.002); OR: 5.6; 95% CI: 1.4 -22, respectively]; 5) there were no significant differences in these factors between patients with positive PCR/ESI-MS (17 GE/well) who had negative AF cultures compared to those with positive AF cultures; and 6) PCR/ESI-MS detected genomic material from viruses in two patients (1.4%). Rapid diagnosis of intra-amniotic infection is possible using PCR/ESI-MS, which can provide results within 8 hours; 2) the combined use of biomarkers of inflammation and PCR/ESI-MS allows for the rapid identification of specific bacteria and viruses in women with preterm labor and intra-amniotic infection; and 3) this approach may allow for administration of timely and specific interventions to reduce morbidity attributed to infection-induced preterm birth.
