Global patterns of modularity and narrow host use in fish-parasitic copepods (Crustacea) [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalParasitic copepods are amongst the most diverse and ecologically significant parasites of fish, yet their macroecological patterns remain poorly understood. In this study, a comprehensive dataset of fish–copepod associations was obtained and curated from

Radical Host-Specific Therapies for TB [PDF]
Cell, 2013 Although proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF are critical for containment of tuberculosis, they can also exacerbate disease when produced at high levels. In this issue of Cell, Roca and Ramakrishnan demonstrate that high TNF production induces reactive oxygen species in infected macrophages, ultimately leading to macrophage necrosis and bacterial ...

Variable geographic distribution of Blastocystis subtypes and its potential implications. [PDF]
, 2013 Blastocystis is a common intestinal micro-eukaryote found in both humans and non-human hosts and known to be genetically very diverse. It has been divided into numerous subtypes (STs), nine of which have been identified in humans to date.

Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Eriophyoid mites are highly host-specific, microscopic phytoparasites that primarily disperse to new hosts passively via wind. This seems paradoxical, as the likelihood of landing on an appropriate host species needed to survive appears low.

HOST SPECIFICITY OF FIG WASPS (AGAONIDAE) [PDF]
Evolution, 1970 For the development of seeds, the figs (Ficus spp.) are dependent upon small chalcidoid wasps of the family Agaonidae. No other means of pollination of fig flowers is available to the plant, and the wasps cannot develop anywhere except in the gall flowers of the fig.2 There has been considerable difference of opinion as to the degree of host ...
