Signals in Host-Parasite Interactions
1997Plants are resistant to most potential pathogens in their environment; in fact, relatively few true host-pathogen pairs exist in which the plant is susceptible and the pathogen virulent. Within a susceptible plant species, specific cultivars carry genes which give them resistance to specific pathogen races harboring the corresponding avirulence genes ...

All organisms have evolved defence mechanisms for protection against invasion and establishment by micro-organisms and by metazoan parasites. Although ideally we should include the viruses and bacteria in our current discussion, space precludes such a full consideration.

DISTRIBUTION OF ACANTHOCEPHALANS WITHIN HOSTS Distribution in individual hosts Although adult acanthocephalans are found in the alimentary tract of their vertebrate definitive hosts, they do, in common with other groups of intestinal parasites, exhibit preferences for particular regions of that tract. Crompton (1973) has reviewed the sites occupied

The Evolution of Host-Parasite Interaction
1983The extent of economic damage to crop plants due to pests and diseases is very large and well documented. Minimizing this loss through the use of pesticides is expensive. The high cost of pesticides and the threat they pose to non-target organisms make breeding for disease resistance a cost-effective and attractive alternative.

1986
Host-parasite interactions have been studied by means of formal genetic procedures since the beginning of this century. It soon proved that resistance of a plant is inherited in a rather simple manner. Parasites, however, have been studied to a much lesser extent than the host plants, largely because of the difficulties in cultivating parasitic ...

Host/Parasite Interactions in Bacterial Endophthalmitis
Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, 1997Bacterial infections within the eye arise as complications of intraocular surgery, penetrating injury, or hematogenous spread from distant anatomical sites. Because: 1) the interior surfaces of the eye are lined with sensitive, nonregenerating tissues, 2) the inner chambers of the eye are relatively sequestered from circulating immunological components,

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.

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 ...

The Genetics of Host–Parasite Interaction
2014Studies on the genetics of host-parasite interactions in white rust (WR) diseases have focused on the level of specificity among races of pathogen and genotypes of related host species. Even within the confines of race-cultivar specificity, the studies have been one-side in that no genetic information has been generated on Albugo, the causal organism ...

Genetics of Host-Parasite Interactions
1976Most plant pathogens, whether obligate parasites (biotrophs) or facultative saprophytes (necrotrophic pathogens) have a host range limited to few species. For host and parasite to survive and evolve together it is necessary for equilibrium, either dynamic or stable, to be established between them, such that each is capable of adequate reproduction ...
