The evolutionary and coevolutionary consequences of defensive microbes for host-parasite interactions

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017
Animal and plant species can harbour microbes that provide them with protection against enemies. These beneficial microbes can be a significant component of host defence that complement or replaces a repertoire of immunity, but they can also be costly ...

Calcium Builds Strong Host-Parasite Interactions [PDF]

, 2015
Apicomplexan parasite invasion of host cells is a multistep process, requiring coordinated events. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Paul et al. (2015) and Philip and Waters (2015) leverage experimental genetics to show that the calcium-regulated ...

Current Treatments to Control African Trypanosomiasis and One Health Perspective

Microorganisms, 2022
Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT, sleeping sickness) and Animal African Trypanosomiasis (AAT) are neglected tropical diseases generally caused by the same etiological agent, Trypanosoma brucei.

The Secreted Acid Phosphatase Domain-Containing GRA44 from Toxoplasma gondii Is Required for c-Myc Induction in Infected Cells. [PDF]

, 2020
During host cell invasion, the eukaryotic pathogen Toxoplasma gondii forms a parasitophorous vacuole to safely reside within the cell, while it is partitioned from host cell defense mechanisms.

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.

Beyond troubled waters: the influence of eutrophication on host–parasite interactions

, 2017
Summary 1.Recent research in biomedicine and in ecology has linked disease emergence and resurgence with human-induced environmental change. Water bodies, in particular, have dramatically changed during the past century due to artificial enrichment of ...

Immunization with CSP and a RIG-I Agonist is Effective in Inducing a Functional and Protective Humoral Response Against Plasmodium

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Malaria is a major public health concern, as a highly effective human vaccine remains elusive. The efficacy of a subunit vaccine targeting the most abundant protein of the sporozoite surface, the circumsporozoite protein (CSP) has been hindered by ...

Genome-wide diversity and gene expression profiling of Babesia microti isolates identify polymorphic genes that mediate host-pathogen interactions [PDF]

, 2016
Babesia microti, a tick-transmitted, intraerythrocytic protozoan parasite circulating mainly among small mammals, is the primary cause of human babesiosis.
