Laser-based selective killing of a manipulative parasite reveals partial reversibility of phenotypic alterations in its intermediate host [PDF]
Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne DiseasesVarious parasites alter their intermediate hostʼs phenotype in ways that increase parasite transmission to definitive hosts. To what extent infected intermediate hosts can recover from such “manipulation” is poorly documented, thus limiting our ...

Gametocytes of the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium falciparum Interact With and Stimulate Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Cells to Secrete Angiogenetic Factors [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018 The gametocytes of Plasmodium falciparum, responsible for the transmission of this malaria parasite from humans to mosquitoes, accumulate and mature preferentially in the human bone marrow. In the 10 day long sexual development of P.

Estimating parasite host range [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017 Estimating the number of host species that a parasite can infect (i.e. host range) provides key insights into the evolution of host specialism and is a central concept in disease ecology. Host range is rarely estimated in real systems, however, because variation in species relative abundance and the detection of rare species makes it challenging to ...

Microorganisms, 2023 Mortalities of Pinna nobilis populations set at risk the survival of the species from many Mediterranean coastline habitats. In many cases, both Haplosporidium pinnae and Mycobacterium spp. are implicated in mass mortalities of P.

Transport mechanisms at the malaria parasite-host cell interface
PLoS Pathogens, 2021 Obligate intracellular malaria parasites reside within a vacuolar compartment generated during invasion which is the principal interface between pathogen and host.

Orobanchaceae parasite–host interactions [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2020 SummaryParasitic plants in the family Orobanchaceae, such asStriga,OrobancheandPhelipanche, often cause significant damage to agricultural crops. The Orobanchaceae family comprises more than 2000 species in about 100 genera, providing an excellent system for studying the molecular basis of parasitism and its evolution.

Cryptosporidium Lactate Dehydrogenase Is Associated with the Parasitophorous Vacuole Membrane and Is a Potential Target for Developing Therapeutics. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2015 The apicomplexan, Cryptosporidium parvum, possesses a bacterial-type lactate dehydrogenase (CpLDH). This is considered to be an essential enzyme, as this parasite lacks the Krebs cycle and cytochrome-based respiration, and mainly-if not solely, relies on

Host defense reinforces host–parasite cospeciation [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 Cospeciation occurs when interacting groups, such as hosts and parasites, speciate in tandem, generating congruent phylogenies. Cospeciation can be a neutral process in which parasites speciate merely because they are isolated on diverging host islands. Adaptive evolution may also play a role, but this has seldom been tested.

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1990 Parasite-host coevolution can have many different endpoints, not simply the commensalism of 'conventional wisdom'. Empirical studies and mathematical models are elucidating the conditions under which parasite-host systems can coevolve to intermediate and high levels of parasite virulence - and when they can coevolve to commensalism and mutualism.

Methods to Investigate the Deformability of RBC During Malaria
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Despite a 30% decline in mortality since 2000, malaria still affected 219 million subjects and caused 435,000 deaths in 2017. Red blood cells (RBC) host Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria, of which Plasmodium falciparum is the most pathogenic.
