Greater Phage Genotypic Diversity Constrains Arms-Race Coevolution
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Antagonistic coevolution between hosts and parasites, the reciprocal evolution of host resistance and parasite infectivity, has important implications in ecology and evolution.

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2012 Introduction: This study was conducted in a sugar belt region of western Kenya interfacing epidemic and endemic malaria transmission. We investigated Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (ss) and Anopheles arabiensis species compositions and densities, human

Predicting the size and probability of epidemics in a population with heterogeneous infectiousness and susceptibility [PDF]
, 2007 We analytically address disease outbreaks in large, random networks with heterogeneous infectivity and susceptibility. The transmissibility $T_{uv}$ (the probability that infection of $u$ causes infection of $v$) depends on the infectivity of $u$ and the

A Gallus gallus Model for Determining Infectivity of Zoonotic Campylobacter
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 To better understand public health implications of waterfowl as reservoirs for zoonotic sources of Campylobacter in recreational waters, we developed a Gallus gallus (chick) model of infection to assess the pathogenicity of environmental isolates of ...

Environmental Stability and Infectivity of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) in Different Human Body Fluids
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a hepatotropic, blood-borne virus, but in up to one-third of infections of the transmission route remained unidentified.

Interactions between free-living amoebae and Cryptosporidium parvum: an experimental study
Parasite, 2023 Free-Living Amebae (FLA) and Cryptosporidium oocysts occasionally share the same environment. From 2004 to 2016, Cryptosporidium was responsible for 60% of 905 worldwide waterborne outbreaks caused by protozoan parasites.

Interactions between vaccinia virus and sensitized macrophages in vitro [PDF]
, 1975 The action of peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) from normal and vaccinia virus infected mice on infectious vaccinia virus particles was investigatedin vitro. PEC from immune mice showed a significantly higher infectivity titre reduction (virus clearance, VC)

Infectivity, persistence and serological response of nine Trichinella genotypes in rats
Parasite, 2001 Domestic and sylvatic Trichinella genotypes were evaluated for infectivity, muscle larvae persistence, and host antibody responses in rats. Groups of rats were inoculated with T. spiralis, T. nativa, T. britovi, three genotypes of T. pseudospiralis (from
