Genetics of host-parasite interactions
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1997The evolution of host susceptibility or resistance to parasites has important consequences for the evolution of parasite virulence, host sexual selection, population dynamics of both host and parasite populations, and programs of biological control. The general observation of a fraction of Individuals within a population that is not parasitized, and/or

Host–parasite interactions in a fragmented landscape
International Journal for Parasitology, 2013Theory suggests that habitat fragmentation should reduce the risk of being parasitised due to reduced size and increased isolation of the host population. It is predicted that a threshold host population size exists, below which parasites will not be able to persist.

Local adaptation and host–parasite interactions
Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 1998The reciprocal transplant experiment is a test to detect the existence of adaptive genetic structure. It compares the performance of parasites (e.g. infectivity, within-host growth rate and survival) on native and novel environments (which can be different host individuals, populations, or species). Controls are required for the conditioning effects of

Helminth extracellular vesicles in host-parasite interactions.
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2018Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been characterized from many species of parasitic helminths, and recent experimental evidence supports important functions for their cargo in host-parasite relationships as immunomodulatory mediators.

Opisthorchis viverrini Proteome and Host–Parasite Interactions
Advances in Parasitology, 2018The omics technologies have improved our understanding of the molecular events that underpin host–parasite interactions and the pathogenesis of parasitic diseases.

Manipulation of apoptosis in the host–parasite interaction
Trends in Parasitology, 2004Abstract Nearly all animal cells possess the capacity to undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis) when stimulated by an appropriate trigger. Apoptosis is crucial for maintaining social order among the cells comprising metazoans, but it also has other functions: the existence of apoptosis in single-celled organisms implies a degree of interaction ...

HOST-PARASITE INTERACTIONS DURING PREGNANCY
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1978The point that host defense against infectious disease is exceedingly complex scarcely needs further emphasis. We have tried to show that pregnancy is a state which has the potential for altering any of the many facets of host defense, and in some instances presented evidence that pregnancy does alter resistance to infection.

The immune system represents a complicated assemblage of coordinated genes, proteins, cells and tissues. The field of ecological immunology (EI) is founded on the assumption that immunological defenses incur costs (energetic or fitness) under different ecological conditions.

Host-Parasite Interaction in the Urinary Tract
Journal of Urology, 1988The term urinary tract infection (UTI) describes a heterogeneous group of disorders localized to the urinary tract [1]. Bacteriuria may be associated with clinical conditions of varying severity and consequence. The analysis of these conditions may be based on several factors.
