Resolving the infection process reveals striking differences in the contribution of environment, genetics and phylogeny to host-parasite interactions [PDF]
, 2011 Background Infection processes consist of a sequence of steps, each critical for the interaction between host and parasite. Studies of host-parasite interactions rarely take into account the fact that different steps might be influenced by different ...

Female-induced increase of host-plant volatiles enhance specific attraction of aphid male Dysaphis plantaginea (Homoptera: Aphididae) to the sex pheromone [PDF]
, 2009 All aphid species studied so far share the same sex pheromone components, nepetalactol and nepetalactone. Variation by different enantiomers and blends of the two components released by different aphid species are limited and can only partially explain ...

Rhizobium sp. BR816 Produces a Complex Mixture of Known and Novel Lipochitooligosaccharide Molecules
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2001 Rhizobial lipochitooligosaccharide (LCO) signal molecules induce various plant responses, leading to nodule development. We report here the LCO structures of the broad-host range strain Rhizobium sp. BR816.

Promiscuous specialists: Host specificity patterns among generalist louse flies.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Ectoparasites such as louse flies (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) have tendency for host specialization, which is driven by adaptation to host biology as well as competition avoidance between parasites of the same host.

Morphological and molecular studies of the nematode parasite Heterakis gallinarum (Heterakidae) infecting the cattle egret Bubulcus ibis (Ardeidae) [PDF]
Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2023 Parasites infecting migratory birds all over the world are still under investigation. The identification of parasitic taxa infecting ardeids was done concerning their morphological and morphometric features.

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

Bacterial leaf symbiosis in angiosperms: host specificity without co-speciation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Bacterial leaf symbiosis is a unique and intimate interaction between bacteria and flowering plants, in which endosymbionts are organized in specialized leaf structures.
