Host sexual dimorphism and parasite adaptation [PDF]

, 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.

Molecular prevalence, genetic characterization and patterns of Toxoplasma gondii infection in domestic small mammals from Cotonou, Benin

Parasite, 2022
Toxoplasmosis, one of the most prevalent parasitic infections in humans and animals, is caused by the intracellular protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Small mammals play a key role as intermediate reservoir hosts in the maintenance of the T.

Cytological and molecular description of Hamiltosporidium tvaerminnensis gen. et sp. nov., a microsporidian parasite of Daphnia magna, and establishment of Hamiltosporidium magnivora comb. nov. [PDF]

, 2010
We describe the new microsporidium Hamiltosporidium tvaerminnensis gen. et sp. nov. with an emphasis on its ultrastructural characteristics and phylogenetic position as inferred from the sequence data of SSU rDNA, alpha-and beta-tubulin.

A transmission model for the ecology of an avian blood parasite in a temperate ecosystem. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Most of our knowledge about avian haemosporidian parasites comes from the Hawaiian archipelago, where recently introduced Plasmodiumrelictum has contributed to the extinction of many endemic avian species.

Dietary supply with polyunsaturated fatty acids and resulting maternal effects influence host -- parasite interactions [PDF]

, 2013
Interactions between hosts and parasites can be substantially modulated by host nutrition. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential dietary nutrients; they are indispensable as structural components of cell membranes and as precursors for ...

Residual efficacy of indoor residual spraying using clothianidin (SumiShield 50WG) under experimental huts and field conditions in Senegal

Malaria Journal
Background In Senegal, the main vector control strategies include indoor residual spraying (IRS) and the distribution of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs).

Biomass DNA: An Emerging Building Block for Advanced Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biomass DNA is rapidly emerging from its traditional role as a genetic blueprint to serve as a versatile abundant, highly programmable polymeric building block. This review highlights the transformation of macroscopic bulk biomass DNA into next generation of functional materials, spanning from dynamic hydrogels, sustainable bioplastics, and high ...

Genetic co‐structuring in host‐parasite systems: Empirical data from raccoons and raccoon ticks

Ecosphere, 2016
Many aspects of parasite biology critically depend on their hosts, and understanding how host‐parasite populations are co‐structured can help improve our understanding of the ecology of parasites, their hosts, and host‐parasite interactions.

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

, 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
