Echinococcus multilocularis and its intermediate host: a model of parasite-host interplay [PDF]
, 2010 Host-parasite interactions in the E. multilocularis-intermediate host model depend on a subtle balance between cellular immunity, which is responsible for host's resistance towards the metacestode, the larval stage of the parasite, and tolerance ...

Hymenolepis diminuta infection in a young boy from rural part of Northern India
Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2016 Hymenolepis diminuta (H. diminuta) is primarily a parasite of rats and mice. Humans are infected by eating meal contaminated with these arthropods. This infection is not seen commonly in Indian population.

Predation success by a plant-ant indirectly favours the growth and fitness of its host myrmecophyte [PDF]
, 2013 Mutualisms, or interactions between species that lead to net fitness benefits for each species involved, are stable and ubiquitous in nature mostly due to "byproduct benefits" stemming from the intrinsic traits of one partner that generate an indirect ...

Maximum host survival at intermediate parasite infection intensities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Although parasitism has been acknowledged as an important selective force in the evolution of host life histories, studies of fitness effects of parasites in wild populations have yielded mixed results.
