Amino acids sequence of two different proteins with the same sequence (chameleon sequence—black boxes) represent in 3D structure of the proteins different secondary structures: HHHH—helical and BBB—Beta‐structural. The chains folded in water environment adopt different III‐order structures in which the chameleon fragments appear to adopt similar status

Parasite variation and the evolution of virulence in a Daphnia-microparasite system
Understanding genetic relationships amongst the life-history traits of parasites is crucial for testing hypotheses on the evolution of virulence. This study therefore examined variation between parasite isolates (the bacterium Pasteuria ramosa) from the ...

Baseline Data of Parasite Clearance in Patients with Falciparum Malaria Treated with an Artemisinin Derivative: an Individual Patient Data Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
Artemisinin resistance in Plasmodium falciparum manifests as slow parasite clearance but this measure is also influenced by host immunity, initial parasite biomass and partner drug efficacy.

Human Pegivirus Encephalitis With Brain Detection and Response to Sofosbuvir Ledipasvir
ABSTRACT Human pegivirus (HPgV‐1) has been associated with severe encephalomyelitis in immunocompromised patients. Its neurological spectrum remains poorly defined. We report a slowly progressive encephalitis in a person living with well‐controlled HIV, characterized by white matter abnormalities and inflammatory cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). HPgV RNA was

Parasite genetic diversity does not influence TNF-mediated effects on the virulence of primary rodent malaria infections [PDF]
The pro-inflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is associated with malaria virulence (disease severity) in both rodents and humans.

Parasite-mediated sexual selection in a damselfly
Sexual selection can improve average fitness across a population and purge deleterious mutation from gene pool by promoting condition dependent mate selection. One ecological factor that reduces individual condition is parasitism.
