Experimental Evidence That Blood Parasite Infection Affects Incubation Patterns in a Cavity‐Nesting Songbird

Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 178-191, January 2026.
Chronic blood parasite infections in wild birds can affect their incubation behavior. In pied flycatchers, females with reduced parasite infections incubated for longer than control females. Despite behavioral changes, no immediate effects on fitness were observed.

The General Biological Relativity Theory and Multiscale Modeling of Living Systems as Complex Systems

Complexity, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The scientific community is aware that the great scientific revolution of this century will be the formulation of a theory of complex systems and formalize it in mathematical terms. In this article, we formulate a unified theory of living systems as complex systems called the general biological relativity theory, which states that at every level of ...

Loa loa Microfilariae Evade Complement Attack In Vivo by Acquiring Regulatory Proteins from Host Plasma

, 2009
Loa loa is a filarial nematode that infects humans. The adults live in subcutaneous tissues and produce microfilariae that live for several weeks in the blood circulation in order to be transmitted to another person via blood meals of a dipterian vector.

Different localization of microfilariae of

, 2016
In the forest onchocerciasis, almost all microfilariae are subepidermic (mean distance from the base of the epidermis : 115,04 µm ± 4,35). In the savanna onchocerciasis there is also a population inhabiting a slightly deeper site (mean distance from the ...
