Climate, biodiversity, land use changes and zoonotic infectious diseases in Southeast Asia : O15 [PDF]
, 2014 Numerous parasitic and infectious diseases are emerging, re-emerging or causing recurrent outbreaks in Southeast-Asia, a hot spot of both infectious disease emergence and biodiversity at threat.

Schistosoma mansoni cercariae exploit an elastohydrodynamic coupling to swim efficiently [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 The motility of many parasites is critical for the infection process of their host, as exemplified by the transmission cycle of the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni. In their human infectious stage, immature, submillimetre-scale forms of the parasite known as cercariae swim in freshwater and infect humans by penetrating through the skin.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) possesses an exocrine gland associated with its false gill slit pigmentation pattern. The cervical gill slit gland is a compound tubuloalveolar gland that produces a holocrine secretion and displays maturational changes in size and secretory histology. While the morphology of the cervical gill slit gland

T. gondii strains and their dosage influence the parasitic load in tissues of experimentally infected pigs [PDF]
, 2011 One of the major routes of a Toxoplasma gondii infection in humans is the consumption of raw or undercooked meat. In the present study, we compared the parasitic load induced by 2 different T.

An overview of the prevalence and distribution of gastrointestinal parasitic infections in post-war Iraq [PDF]
, 2017 Many modern-day diagnostic tests for parasitic diseases rely on conventional labour-intensive technologies such as serology and microscopy. Although major advances have been recorded in the diagnosis of infectious diseases in humans, parasitic diseases ...

The Origin and Evolution of Viruses as Molecular Organisms [PDF]
, 2009 Viruses are the most abundant life forms and the repertoire of viral genes is greater than that of cellular genes. It is also evident that viruses have played a major role in driving cellular evolution, and yet, viruses are not part of mainstream biology,

High host density favors greater virulence: a model of parasite-host dynamics based on multi-type branching processes [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 We use a multitype continuous time Markov branching process model to describe the dynamics of the spread of parasites of two types that can mutate into each other in a common host population. Instead of using a single virulence characteristic which is typical of most mathematical models for infectious diseases, our model uses a combination of two ...
