Monospecific helminth and arthropod infections in an urban population of brown rats from Doha, Qatar [PDF]
, 2001 Parasitic infections were studied for the first time in an urban population of brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) from Doha. Only one species of helminth was found, the cestode Hymenolepis diminuta, and one ectoparasite, the flea Xenopsylla astia, from a ...

Comparative transcriptomics of stickleback immune gene responses upon infection by two helminth parasites, Diplostomum pseudospathaceum and Schistocephalus solidus [PDF]
, 2016 Immune systems of vertebrates are much more diverse than previously thought, in particular at the base of the vertebrate clade. RNA-seq was used to describe in detail the transcriptomic response of stickleback hosts to infection by two helminth parasites,

Density-dependent effects on the survival and growth of the rodent stomach worm Protospirura muricola in laboratory mice [PDF]
, 2004 The spirurid nematode, Protospirura muricola, is of intrinsic interest as a rodent model of gastric nematode infections. Since worm burdens can be very heavy in nature, density dependent processes may constrain parasite growth. Laboratory mice (BKW) were

Evolution of Our Understanding of Myeloid Regulatory Cells: From MDSCs to Mregs [PDF]
, 2014 The term myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) was first suggested in 2007 in order to reflect the origin and function of myeloid cells during immunosuppression in cancer and other pathologic conditions.

Epidemiology and risk factors for endoparasite infection in subtropical feral cattle in Hong Kong
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeUnderstanding parasite epidemiology is essential for managing endoparasite infections in free-ranging animals. However, such epidemiological knowledge is limited for feral cattle and is usually derived from farmed populations.
