Lack of phenotypic and evolutionary cross-resistance against parasitoids and pathogens in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 2012 BackgroundWhen organisms are attacked by multiple natural enemies, the evolution of a resistance mechanism to one natural enemy will be influenced by the degree of cross-resistance to another natural enemy.

Microsporidia as a Potential Threat to the Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus)
Animals, 2022 Lynx pardinus is one of the world’s most endangered felines inhabiting the Iberian Peninsula. The present study was performed to identify the presence of microsporidia due to the mortality increase in lynxes.

Segregation of a microsporidian parasite during host cell mitosis [PDF]
, 1999 We investigated the segregation of an intracellular microsporidian parasite during host cell division. A time-course experiment was carried out to examine the distribution of parasites relative to host chromosomal DNA via light and electron microscopy.

Horizontal transfer of parasitic sex ratio distorters between crustacean hosts [PDF]
, 1998 Parasitic sex ratio distorters were artificially transferred within and between crustacean host species in order to study the effects of parasitism on host fitness and sex determination and to investigate parasite–host specificity. Implantation of Nosema

Microsporidia-nematode associations in methane seeps reveal basal fungal parasitism in the deep sea [PDF]
, 2014 The deep sea is Earth's largest habitat but little is known about the nature of deep-sea parasitism. In contrast to a few characterized cases of bacterial and protistan parasites, the existence and biological significance of deep-sea parasitic fungi is ...
