Battleground midgut: The cost to the mosquito for hosting the malaria parasite

Biology of the Cell, 2021
In eco-evolutionary studies of parasite-host interactions, virulence is defined as a reduction in host fitness as a result of infection relative to an uninfected host.

Host genes, parasites and parasitic infections

International Journal for Parasitology, 1993
Resistance to infection of mammalian hosts by parasites is under genetic control at many different levels: between species, between races, breeds and lines of single species and between individuals. These genetic effects have been described in many host-parasite systems.

Evolution of Parasites and Host–Parasite Relationships

Parasitology Today, 2000
The course ‘Evolution of Parasites and Host–Parasites Relationships’, held at the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris, 3–5 May 2000, was organized by Marie-Claude Durette-Desset and Jean-Lou Justine. In such limited time, it certainly cannot cover all aspects of the topic. More than 40 people attended this year, mainly from France and Belgium.

The host–parasite neuroimmunoendocrine network in schistosomiasis: consequences to the host and the parasite

Parasite Immunology, 2007
SUMMARY The physiological interactions during the course of any immune response are complex. Infection induces antigen‐specific recognition by the immune system, which is consequently charged with the responsibility of marshalling the appropriate effector responses necessary to destroy the pathogen, or at the very least inhibit its progression ...

Hosts and parasites as aliens

Journal of Helminthology, 2006
AbstractOver the past decades, various free-living animals (hosts) and their parasites have invaded recipient areas in which they had not previously occurred, thus gaining the status of aliens or exotics. In general this happened to a low extent for hundreds of years.

QUANTIFYING PARASITES IN SAMPLES OF HOSTS

Journal of Parasitology, 2000
Whereas terminological recommendations require authors to use mean intensity or mean abundance to quantify parasites in a sample of hosts, awkward statistical limitations also force them to use either the median or the geometric mean of these measures when making comparisons across different samples.

The Evolution of Host‐Parasite Range

The American Naturalist, 2010
Understanding the coevolution of hosts and parasites is one of the key challenges for evolutionary biology. In particular, it is important to understand the processes that generate and maintain variation. Here, we examine a coevolutionary model of hosts and parasites where infection does not depend on absolute rates of transmission and defense but is ...

Parasites and Their Social Hosts

Trends in Parasitology, 2017
The study of parasitism in socially living organisms shows that social group size correlates with the risk of infection, but group structure - and thus differences in contact networks - is generally more important. Also, genetic makeup or environmental conditions have effects.

Evolution of Host-Parasite Diversity

Evolution, 1993
Hosts and parasites often have extensive genetic diversity for resistance and virulence (host range). Qualitative diversity occurs when the success of attack is an all-or-nothing response that varies according to the genotypes of the host and parasite.

Host and Parasite Catalogue

1966
Both original and published records are presented in this catalogue so that the particular records need to be referred to material and/or host records in the particular parasite species.
