Cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation of Theileria annulata schizont surface proteins [PDF]
, 2014 The invasion of Theileria sporozoites into bovine leukocytes is rapidly followed by the destruction of the surrounding host cell membrane, allowing the parasite to establish its niche within the host cell cytoplasm.

The influence of biological rhythms on host–parasite interactions [PDF]
, 2015 Biological rhythms, from circadian control of cellular processes to annual cycles in life history, are a main structural element of biology. Biological rhythms are considered adaptive because they enable organisms to partition activities to cope with ...

Ligula intestinalis (Cestoda: Pseudophyllidea): an ideal fish-metazoan parasite model? [PDF]
, 2010 Since its use as a model to study metazoan parasite culture and in vitro development, the plerocercoid of the tapeworm, Ligula intestinalis, has served as a useful scientific tool to study a range of biological factors, particularly within its fish ...

Benefits of host genetic diversity for resistance to infection depend on parasite diversity [PDF]
, 2010 Host populations with high genetic diversity are predicted to have lower levels of infection prevalence. This theory assumes that host genetic diversity results in variation in susceptibility and that parasites exhibit variation in infectivity. Empirical

The effect of host heterogeneity and parasite intragenomic interactions on parasite population structure [PDF]
, 2005 Understanding the processes that shape the genetic structure of parasite populations and the functional consequences of different parasite genotypes is critical for our ability to predict how an infection can spread through a host population and for the ...

Perspectives on the Trypanosoma cruzi-host cell receptor interaction [PDF]
, 2009 Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. The critical initial event is the interaction of the trypomastigote form of the parasite with host receptors. This review highlights recent observations concerning these interactions.

Using host species traits to understand the consequences of resource provisioning for host–parasite interactions [PDF]
, 2017 1.Supplemental food provided to wildlife by human activities can be more abundant and predictable than natural resources, and subsequent changes to wildlife ecology can have profound impacts on host–parasite interactions.

What makes a host profitable? Parasites balance host nutritive resources against immunity [PDF]
, 2008 Numerous host qualities can modulate parasite fitness, and among these, host nutritive resources and immunity are of prime importance. Indeed, parasite fitness increases with the amount of nutritive resources extracted from the host body and decreases ...
