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 ...

Diverse Requirements for Src-Family Tyrosine Kinases Distinguish Chlamydial Species

mBio, 2011
Chlamydiae are well known for their species specificity and tissue tropism, and yet the individual species and strains show remarkable genomic synteny and share an intracellular developmental cycle unique in the microbial world.

A game-theoretic model of interspecific brood parasitism with sequential decisions [PDF]

, 2008
The interaction between hosts and parasites in bird populations has been studied extensively. This paper uses game-theoretic methods to model this interaction.

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 ...

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.

Targeted repression of Plasmodium apicortin by host microRNA impairs malaria parasite growth and invasion

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2020
Mature human erythrocytes contain a rich pool of microRNAs (miRNAs), which result from differentiation of the erythrocytes during the course of haematopoiesis.

Promise and limitations of 18S genetic screening of extracted fecal DNA from wild capuchins

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Genomic screening of fecal DNA provides insight into diet, parasite infection dynamics, and other aspects of the ecology and pathogens of wild populations.

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.
