Sex ratios in the rodent malaria parasite, Plasmodium chabaudi [PDF]

, 2003
The sex ratios of malaria and related Apicomplexan parasites play a major role in transmission success. Here, we address 2 fundamental issues in the sex ratios of the rodent malaria parasite, Plasmodium chabaudi.

Computational Optimisation of EtAMA1 Reveals Its Potential as a Vaccine Candidate Against Eimeria tenella

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
Eimeria tenella is one of the main causes of coccidiosis in poultry, with increasing drug resistance highlighting the need for alternate control strategies. This study identified Eimeria tenella AMA1 (EtAMA1) as a promising vaccine candidate through structural analysis, epitope prediction, immune simulation, and molecular docking, which demonstrated ...

Remote Sensing for Operational Surveillance of Mosquito‐Borne Diseases

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Remote sensing observations have demonstrated increasing value in identifying human risk from mosquito‐borne diseases because mosquito ecology is intrinsically tied to geophysical variables measurable by satellites. Satellite‐based monitoring of environmental conditions at varying temporal and spatial scales has extended our capacity for ...

Harnessing Extracellular Vesicles for Precision Diagnostics and Infectious Disease Management: Integrating Host‐ and Pathogen‐Derived Cues

Exploration, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
This review summarizes the diagnostic and monitoring potential of host‐pathogen extracellular vesicles (hpEVs) in infectious diseases, advances in their isolation and analysis, and challenges to clinical translation. ABSTRACT Conventional infectious disease diagnostics often rely on detecting pathogen‐derived factors or an immune response directed ...

The consequences of host heterogeneity for parasite transmission depend on how host infectiousness is determined

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 10, Page 2063-2075, October 2026.
This study proposes two contrasting scenarios for how host infectiousness is determined: recipient dependence and donor dependence. These scenarios fundamentally alter how host heterogeneity shapes parasite transmission, demonstrating that the process by which infectiousness is determined is crucial for understanding the consequences of host ...

Static Expression of Major Histocompatibility Complex Genes Across Life‐Stages, Generations and Tissues in a Songbird

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 20, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The extraordinarily polymorphic Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is an iconic genomic region that has been associated with, for example, disease susceptibility, mate choice, and fitness. Both the MHC class I and II gene families have expanded considerably in songbirds (Passeriformes) compared to other bird orders, but our understanding ...

Mutualism and Antagonism in a Post‐Extinction Hawaiian Bird–Lobelioid Pollination System

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Species loss can restructure plant–pollinator interactions, but the functional consequences of altered interactions remain unclear. Using camera observations and experimental manipulations in Hawaiian lobelioids, we show that nectarivorous birds differ in whether visits result in pollen contact or nectar robbing, with robbing altering nectar dynamics ...

Chemotherapy and avian malaria

Parasitology, 1942
Malaria is endemic over a wide area of the earth's surface. Although popularly associated with tropical or subtropical countries, it occurs as far north as the south of Sweden and Lake Ladoga in Russia and as far south as Bechuanaland, Swaziland and Natal in South Africa and the Argentine in South America. Though most frequent in low-lying districts it
