In the 1970s, the rodent host of Lassa virus was classified as Mastomys natalensis (3 ); later, when hemoglobin electrophoresis was used for species determination, M. erythroleucus and possibly M. huberti were also proposed as hosts (1 ).
CsStefin-1 has also been proposed as a host immune modulator and a participant in the mechanism associated with anti-inflammatory ability.
H. pylori has been shown to bind components of the extracellular matrix (ECM), especially collagen IV and laminin [ 37], which have been proposed as candidate host factors acting as receptors.
Sheep, wild deer and small rodents have been proposed as reservoir hosts for granulocytic Ehrlichia infection in Europe [ 20, 6], while B. divergens is regarded to be rather host specific [ 10].
Egyptian rousettes have been proposed as natural hosts for these viruses (Amman et al., 2012; Towner et al., 2009).
Birds have been proposed as possible hosts for filoviruses to accomplish such an introduction (Galat & Galat-Luong, 1997).
Sodalites have been proposed as a possible host of certain radioactive species, specifically 99Tc and 129I, which may be encapsulated into the cage structure of the mineral.
MIP-BT and MIP-RS [3, 9] are proposed as two essential host-based multicast mobility approaches.
While loss of toxins and capacity to kill hosts rapidly was proposed as on mechanism underlying host-specificity [ 64], the pattern of expansion observed in O. polyrhachis-furcata suggest a completely different mechanism.
Recently, K. marxianus was proposed as a potential yeast host to develop a CBP for converting cellulosic materials into bioethanol [ 4, 24, 26].
