EFFECTS OF HOST SOCIALITY ON ECTOPARASITE POPULATION BIOLOGY
Journal of Parasitology, 2004Theory predicts a positive relationship between parasite infection intensity and host density. However, this generalization is complicated in natural systems by differences in life history among parasite taxa, e.g., transmissibility. Accordingly, predictions relating host density to parasite load should be specific to each parasite taxon. To illustrate

Hookworm Disease: Host-Pathogen Biology
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1982The hallmark of hookworm infection, a common helminthic disease, is iron deficiency anemia. The development of anemia is dependent on the intensity of infection, the species of hookworm, and the ability of the host to resist infection and to maintain adequate stores of iron. When conditions are appropriate, the incidence of anemia caused by hookworm is

Parasite Biology: The Reservoir Hosts
2018Leishmaniases are worldwide vector-borne diseases with diverse clinical manifestations caused by protozoa belonging to genus Leishmania. About 20 named Leishmania species are pathogenic for humans and are annually responsible for 0.7–1.2 million cases of cutaneous and 0.2–0.4 million cases of visceral forms of the disease. According to the transmission

Tumor progression, biology, and host response in melanoma
Current Opinion in Oncology, 1992Malignant melanoma has provided an excellent model system for studying crucial events in human tumor development and progression. Important components discussed here include the independence of melanoma cells from exogenous growth factors due to self-stimulation and the altered adhesive properties and invasive capacity of these cells.

The Impact of CVB3 Infection on Host Cell Biology
2008CVB3 myocarditis can lead to dilated cardiomyopath (DCM). DCM is one of the leading causes of the need for heart transplantation, so it is important to understand the life cycle of CVB3 and its interactions with the host cell. Infection causes rapid death of host cardiomyocytes by altering normal cellular homeostasis for the efficient release of ...

Complement and Bacteria: Chemistry and Biology in Host Defense
Annual Review of Immunology, 1984an enormous expansion in our understanding of the details of complement biochemistry and in our appreciation of the role of complement proteins in biologic phenomena. In this review we explore one important aspect of complement function-the role of complement in host defense against bacterial infection.

Coinvasion biology of endoparasites and highly clonal hosts
Journal of Invertebrate PathologyThe ability to disperse and become established elsewhere is crucial for organisms as environmental quality varies over space and time. Many parasites produce resistant stages that can achieve dispersal independently from hosts. However, co-dispersal of parasites with hosts offers another means of dispersal.

Host-Pathogen Interaction: Biology and Public Health
Interactions between host and pathogenic microorganisms are common in nature and have a significant impact on host health, often leading to several types of infections. These interactions have evolved as a result of the ongoing battle between the host's defense mechanisms and the pathogens' invasion strategies.Richard, Ponce-Cusi +4 more
