Cellular and molecular interactions between the apicomplexan parasites Plasmodium and Theileria and their host cells

open access: yes, 2008
Apicomplexan parasites of the genera Theileria and Plasmodium have complicated life cycles including infection of a vertebrate intermediate host and an arthropod definitive host.

Evolution of malaria virulence in cross-generation transmission through selective immune pressure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Theoretical arguments and some mathematical models of host-parasite coevolution (e.g. [1- 6]) suggest host immunity as the driving source for the evolution of parasite virulence.

Calcium Builds Strong Host-Parasite Interactions

open access: yes, 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 ...

Fish host-monogenean parasite interactions, with special reference to Polyopisthocotylea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Teleost fishes possess immune systems capable of mounting humoral and cellular responses against pathogens, both specific and non-specific. Monogenea (Platyhelminthes) are common ectoparasites of fish, and can have significant pathogenic effects on hosts,

Host-parasite interactions and global climate oscillations

open access: yes, 2011
SUMMARYIt is suspected that host-parasite interactions are influenced by climatic oscillations such as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). However, the effects of climatic oscillations on host-parasite interactions have never been investigated.

The diversity, distribution and host-parasite associations of trypanosomes in Western Australian wildlife [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Little is known regarding the diversity, distribution or host-parasite associations of Trypanosoma spp. in Australian wildlife. Here we report on an investigation based on divergence of the 18S rRNA gene of trypanosomes isolated from a range of hosts and

The frontline of avian brood parasite-host coevolution

open access: yes, 2012
The interactions between avian interspecific brood parasites and their hosts provide tractable and informative systems for investigating coevolution. Generally, these investigations have emphasized the egg and chick stages of the coevolutionary arms race;

Parasite-host interactions during the blood and liver stage of rodent malaria parasites

open access: yes, 2018
Malaria is a parasitic disease which puts almost half of the world's population at risk of infection. It is caused by Plasmodium, a parasite transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes.

Mechanisms Of Parasite Immune-Modulation And Evasion

open access: yes, 2018
A parasite is an organism that depends on another organism, its host, for food and shelter. In this parasite-host relationship, a parasite gains benefits from its host while the host may suffer from diseases.
