Cover Illustration: The left and upper portions of the cover illustrate directional assembly of host actin by Listeria monocytogenes in Vero cells, which contributes to intra- and intercellular spread of this pathogen. The bacteria are labelled in red and host cell actin is labelled in green (see chapter by Sheehan et al. for details). At the lower right is a pepper fruit suffering from spot disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (see chapter by Bonas for details). By Udo Ringeisen, Cologne.
