Surprising Symbiosis: Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter Eats With Friends

Like a celebrity living on mineral water, the glassy-wingedsharpshooter consumes only the dilute sap of woody plants — including grapevinesin California,which is feverishly working to prevent the insect's flight into prizedvineyards. Now, in a surprising study published in the June 6 issue of PublicLibrary of Science Biology (PLoS Biology), researchers at The Institute forGenomic Research (TIGR), the University of Arizona, and their colleagueshave discovered that the sharpshooter's deprivation diet is sneakilysupplemented by not one, but two co-dependent bacteria living inside its cells.

Genomics-Based Vaccine Could Prevent Deadly Cattle Disease

Every year, East Coast fever destroys the small farmer's dream of escaping poverty in Africa. Killing more than a million cattle and costing some $200 million annually, this tick-borne disease rages across a dozen countries in eastern and central Africa. Now, an international team of scientists has taken the first major step toward a vaccine to prevent East Coast fever. Their work, published in the February 13-17 early online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shows how genomics can generate pivotal new vaccines.
