Ecological immunology of mosquito-malaria interactions: Of non-natural versus natural model systems and their inferences [PDF]
, 2009 There has been a recent shift in the literature on mosquito/Plasmodium interactions with an increasingly large number of theoretical and experimental studies focusing on their population biology and evolutionary processes.

Experimental Models to Study the Role of Microbes in Host-Parasite Interactions
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Until recently, parasitic infections have been primarily studied as interactions between the parasite and the host, leaving out crucial players: microbes.

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Population Ecology, EarlyView.Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Cell Reports, 2013 Chlamydia trachomatis replicates within a membrane-bound compartment termed an inclusion. The inclusion membrane is modified by the insertion of multiple proteins known as Incs. In a yeast two-hybrid screen, an interaction was found between the inclusion

Dual RNA-seq of parasite and host reveals gene expression dynamics during filarial worm–mosquito interactions [PDF]
, 2014 Parasite biology, by its very nature, cannot be understood without integrating it with that of the host, nor can the host response be adequately explained without considering the activity of the parasite.

Population Ecology, EarlyView.We investigate the seasonal dynamics of two freshwater snails, Biomphalaria straminea and Melanoides tuberculata, in artificial reservoirs of the Brazilian semiarid region. Despite regulated hydrology, B. straminea exhibited strong seasonal fluctuations associated with dry periods, while M. tuberculata maintained stable populations throughout the year,

Host–parasite interactions: an intimate epigenetic relationship
Cellular Microbiology, 2015 The epigenetics of host–pathogen interactions is emerging as an interesting angle from which to study how parasites have evolved sophisticated strategies to manipulate host gene transcription and protein expression.

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors
Population Ecology, EarlyView.Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

Cell Reports, 2016 Participation of B cells in the immune response by various antibody-independent mechanisms has recently been uncovered. B cells producing cytokines have been described for several infections and appear to regulate the adaptive immune response.
