Systems analysis of host–parasite interactions [PDF]
WIREs Systems Biology and Medicine, 2015 Parasitic diseases caused by protozoan pathogens lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths per year in addition to substantial suffering and socioeconomic decline for millions of people worldwide. The lack of effective vaccines coupled with the widespread emergence of drug‐resistant parasites necessitates that the research community take an active role ...

Cryptosporidium: Host-Parasite Interactions and Pathogenesis. [PDF]
Curr Clin Microbiol Rep, 2021 Cryptosporidium spp. (C. hominis and C. parvum) are a major cause of diarrhea-associated morbidity and mortality in young children globally. While C. hominis only infects humans, C. parvum is a zoonotic parasite that can be transmitted from infected animals to humans.

Host–parasite interactions and the evolution of ploidy [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 Although the majority of animals and plants, including humans, are dominated by the diploid phase of their life cycle, extensive diversity in ploidy level exists among eukaryotes, with some groups being primarily haploid whereas others alternate between haploid and diploid phases.

Host–parasite interactions and climate change [PDF]
, 2019 Abstract This chapter offers a review of the papers published on the effect of climate change on bird–parasite interactions from 2010 to date. Climatic effects on phenology, prevalence and intensity, range expansion, virulence, anti-parasite defences, and coevolutionary interactions are reviewed. Most studies are centred on diseases that

A diffusion model for host–parasite interaction [PDF]
Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2003 AbstractA variety of host–parasite models are found in the literature. They usually consist of a small number of ordinary differential equations, which describe the dynamics of the total number of hosts and the total number of parasites. The authors introduced earlier a new approach to such models using a partial differential equation which uses the ...

Systems analysis of a host-parasite interaction
Parasitology, 1969 Most epidemiological models assume that disease is the inevitable outcome of infection (see Bailey, 1957). Yet as Dubos (1965) has said; ‘Throughout nature, infection without disease is the rule rather than the exception’. There are, in fact, many diseases whose distribution cannot be explained solely by a consideration of the probabilities of host ...

Evolution of spatially structured host–parasite interactions [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2015 AbstractSpatial structure has dramatic effects on the demography and the evolution of species. A large variety of theoretical models have attempted to understand how local dispersal may shape the coevolution of interacting species such as host–parasite interactions.

The Microbiome of the Maculinea-Myrmica Host-Parasite Interaction [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 AbstractMaculinea(=Phengaris) are endangered butterflies that are characterized by a very complex biological cycle.Maculinealarvae behave as obligate parasites whose survival is strictly dependent on both particular food plants and species-specificMyrmicaants.
