Influence of transhumance on the spread of Rhipicephalus microplus (Canestrini, 1888) in Benin
Journal of Advanced Veterinary and Animal Research, 2018 Objective: Rhipicephalus microplus is a very invasive tick whose control is a current challenge. Its speed of propagation is favored by specific risk factors whose knowledge is an essential prerequisite for a good rather design of strategies to put in ...

Host–Parasite Coevolution in Primates
Life, 2023 Organisms adapt to their environment through evolutionary processes. Environments consist of abiotic factors, but also of other organisms. In many cases, two or more species interact over generations and adapt in a reciprocal way to evolutionary changes in the respective other species.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2011 One of the effector arms of the pathogenesis of severe forms of malaria disease is the development of uncontrolled or excessive inflammatory response. A characteristic inflammatory response may arise from the propensity of some individuals to produce IgE

Personality of hosts and their brood parasites [PDF]
Current Zoology, 2021 AbstractBrood parasites such as the common cuckoo Cuculus canorus exploit the parental abilities of their hosts, hosts avoid brood parasitism and predation by showing specific behavior such as loss of feathers, emission of fear screams and contact calls, displaying wriggle behavior to avoid hosts or potential prey, pecking at hosts and prey, and ...

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.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012 Background/objectivesThe inoculation of a low number (10(4)) of L. amazonensis metacyclic promastigotes into the dermis of C57BL/6 and DBA/2 mouse ear pinna results in distinct outcome as assessed by the parasite load values and ear pinna macroscopic ...

Host genetics and parasitic infections [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2014 Parasites still impose a high death and disability burden on human populations, and are therefore likely to act as selective factors for genetic adaptations. Genetic epidemiological investigation of parasitic diseases is aimed at disentangling the mechanisms underlying immunity and pathogenesis by looking for associations or linkages between loci and ...

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.
