Heterogeneous host susceptibility enhances prevalence of mixed-genotype micro-parasite infections [PDF]

, 2011
Dose response in micro-parasite infections is usually shallower than predicted by the independent action model, which assumes that each infectious unit has a probability of infection that is independent of the presence of other infectious units. Moreover,

Responses of a bacterial pathogen to phosphorus limitation of its aquatic invertebrate host [PDF]

, 2008
Host nutrition is thought to affect the establishment, persistence, and severity of pathogenic infections. Nutrient-deficient foods possibly benefit pathogens by constraining host immune function or benefit hosts by limiting parasite growth and ...

Rickettsia rickettsii virulence determinants RARP2 and RapL mitigate IFN-β signaling in primary human dermal microvascular endothelial cells

mBio
We compared the growth characteristics of a virulent Rickettsia rickettsii strain (Sheila Smith) to an attenuated R. rickettsii stain (Iowa) and a non-pathogenic species (R.

Genetic variability in parasites and host-parasite interactions [PDF]

, 1996
We have examined genetic variability in parasites in the context of ecological interactions with the host. Recent research on Echinococcus, Giardia and Cryptosporidium has been used to illustrate: (i) the problems that parasite variability and species ...

Modulation of NF-kappaB activation in Theileria annulata-infected cloned cell lines is associated with detection of parasite-dependent IKK signalosomes and disruption of the actin cytoskeleton [PDF]

, 2010
Apicomplexan parasites within the genus <i>Theileria</i> have the ability to induce continuous proliferation and prevent apoptosis of the infected bovine leukocyte.

C-reactive protein is differentially modulated by co-existing infections, vitamin deficiencies and maternal factors in pregnant and lactating indigenous Panamanian women

Infectious Diseases of Poverty, 2017
Background The usefulness of C-reactive protein (CRP) as a non-specific marker of inflammation during pregnancy and lactation is unclear in impoverished populations where co-existing infections and vitamin deficiencies are common.

Trends on Microalgae-Fungi Consortia Research: An Alternative for Biofuel Production?

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The utilization of microalgae and fungi on an industrial scale is a challenge for researchers. Based on the question “how fungi have contributed to microalgae research?,” we verified the scientific trends on microalgae-fungi consortia focused on biofuels

Metazoan-protozoan parasite co-infections and host body weight in St Kilda Soay sheep [PDF]

, 2008
For hundreds of years, the unmanaged Soay sheep population on St Kilda has survived despite enduring presumably deleterious co-infections of helminth, protozoan and arthropod parasites and intermittent periods of starvation.

Absence of Specific Chlamydia trachomatis Inclusion Membrane Proteins Triggers Premature Inclusion Membrane Lysis and Host Cell Death

Cell Reports, 2017
Chlamydia trachomatis is a human pathogen associated with significant morbidity worldwide. As obligate intracellular parasites, chlamydiae must survive within eukaryotic cells for sufficient time to complete their developmental cycle.
