The Role of Birds of the Family Corvidae in Transmitting Sarcocystis Protozoan Parasites
Animals, 2021 Members of the family Corvidae are ecologically flexible omnivorous birds, particularly adaptive to urban habitats, and living in proximity to humans; these birds may serve as definitive hosts (DH) for Sarcocystis spp., but research about this is lacking.

What makes a host profitable? Parasites balance host nutritive resources against immunity [PDF]
, 2008 Numerous host qualities can modulate parasite fitness, and among these, host nutritive resources and immunity are of prime importance. Indeed, parasite fitness increases with the amount of nutritive resources extracted from the host body and decreases ...

Behavior out of control: experimental evolution of resistance to host manipulation [PDF]
, 2019 Many parasites alter their host's phenotype in a manner that enhances their own fitness beyond the benefits they would gain from normal exploitation. Such host manipulation is rarely consistent with the host's best interests resulting in suboptimal and ...

The Potential Intermediate Hosts for SARS-CoV-2
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has become a global pandemic since the first report in Wuhan. COVID-19 is a zoonotic disease and the natural reservoir of SARS-CoV-2 seems to be

The dust masses of powerful radio galaxies: clues to the triggering of their activity [PDF]
, 2014 We use deep Herschel Space Observatory observations of a 90% complete sample of 32 intermediate-redshift 2Jy radio galaxies (0.05 < z < 0.7) to estimate the dust masses of their host galaxies and thereby investigate the triggering mechanisms for their ...
