Parasites [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Medical Bulletin, 2000
Ill health related to food-borne infection transcends all geographical, political and cultural boundaries. The incidence of food-borne diseases continues to adversely affect the health and productivity of populations in most countries, especially non-industrialised ones.

Metabolic systems biology of the malaria parasite [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Quantitative one-dimensional proton NMR metabolomics is performed on growth medium samples gathered at up to ten time-points during the in vitro culture of P. falciparum in human red blood cells. From this study, exchange fluxes between the parasite-host

Pathological and ecological host consequences of infection by an introduced fish parasite [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The infection consequences of the introduced cestode fish parasite Bothriocephalus acheilognathi were studied in a cohort of wild, young-of-the-year common carp Cyprinus carpio that lacked co-evolution with the parasite.

Diet quality determines interspecific parasite interactions in host populations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The widespread occurrence of multiple infections and the often vast range of nutritional resources for their hosts allow that interspecific parasite interactions in natural host populations might be determined by host diet quality. Nevertheless, the role

First report of Cryptosporidium viatorum and Cryptosporidium occultus in humans in China, and of the unique novel C. viatorum subtype XVaA3h

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases, 2020
Background Cryptosporidium is a genus of common intestinal protozoa, members of which cause diarrhea in a wide variety of hosts. Previous studies on Cryptosporidium in China have mainly focused on diarrhea sufferers, children, and immunodeficient ...

Evolutionary and proximate mechanisms shaping host-parasite interactions : the case of "Daphnia magna" and its natural bacterial parasite "Pasteuria ramosa" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Host-parasite interactions are composed of a sequence of steps, all necessary for successful infection: parasites need to encounter their hosts, to enter into their bodies, and to proliferate within them. Selection will act on the mechanisms used in each

Host sexual dimorphism and parasite adaptation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In species with separate sexes, parasite prevalence and disease expression is often different between males and females. This effect has mainly been attributed to sex differences in host traits, such as immune response.
