Data from: Two different strategies of host manipulation allow parasites to persist in intermediate-definitive host systems

, 2017
Trophically-transmitted parasites start their development in an intermediate host, before they finish the development in their definitive host when the definitive host preys on the intermediate host.

Comprehensive diagnostic approaches to feline toxoplasmosis: Bridging traditional methods and emerging technologies

Virulence
Toxoplasma gondii is a globally distributed intracellular parasite, with felids serving as its definitive hosts and playing a central role in environmental contamination through oocyst shedding.

A Unified Definition of Hosting Capacity, Applications, and Review

IEEE Access
Over the past decade, the landscape of distribution network hosting capacity has been extensively explored through numerous studies. However, a notable gap remains in the absence of a standardised and universally accepted generic definition. Bridging this gap, this paper provides a comprehensive and unified definition of the hosting capacity concept ...

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Host sexual dimorphism and parasite adaptation [PDF]

, 2012
In species with separate sexes, parasite prevalence and disease expression is often different between males and females. This effect has mainly been attributed to sex differences in host traits, such as immune response.

RNA sequencing reveals dynamic expression of genes related to innate immune responses in canine small intestinal epithelial cells induced by Echinococcus granulosus protoscoleces

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
BackgroundDogs are definitive hosts of Echinococcus granulosus, with the small intestine being the only site of parasitic infections. However, the immunomodulatory processes that occur during interactions between E.

Second intermediate host land snails and definitive host animals of Brachylaima cribbi in southern Australia

Parasite, 2005
This study of infection of southern Australian land snails with Brachylaima cribbi metacercariae has shown that all commonly encountered native and introduced snails are susceptible second intermediate hosts.

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

High Diversity of Sarcocystis Species Identified in Intestines of Red Foxes (Vulpes vulpes) from Lithuania

Animals
Sarcocystis spp. are apicomplexan parasites with an obligatory two-host prey–predator life cycle. While the intermediate hosts (IHs) of many species are well known, the definitive hosts (DH) of numerous Sarcocystis spp., especially those involving ...
