Monte Carlo simulation of age-dependent host–parasite relations [PDF]
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2007 The death of a biological population is an extreme event which we investigate here for a host-parasitoid system. Our simulations using the Penna ageing model show how biological evolution can ``teach'' the parasitoids to avoid extinction by waiting for the right age of the host. We also show the dependence of extinction time on the population size.

High water availability increases the negative impact of a native hemiparasite on its non-native host [PDF]
, 2015 Environmental factors alter the impacts of parasitic plants on their hosts. However, there have been no controlled studies on how water availability modulates stem hemiparasites' effects on hosts.

Host-Parasite Interactions and Population Dynamics of Rock Ptarmigan. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Populations of rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in Iceland fluctuate in multiannual cycles with peak numbers c. every 10 years. We studied the ptarmigan-parasite community and how parasites relate to ptarmigan age, body condition, and population density. We

Higher gregarine parasitism often in sibling species of host damselflies with smaller geographical distributions [PDF]
, 2012 1. This study investigated inter-specific variation in parasitism by gregarines (Eugregarinorida: Actinocephalidae), among sibling species of damselflies (Odonata: Zygoptera), in relation to relative size of geographical ranges of host species.

Hosts, Guests and Parasites in Helena Maria Viramontes' “The Cariboo Café”
Miscelánea: A Journal of English and American Studies, 2018 The correlation between immigrants and parasites is a common theme in political discourse. The nation-state assumes the role of a living organism that allows the entrance of an alien, a guest of sorts, who, in turn, endangers the wellbeing of the host ...
