The Ixodes (Acari: Ixodidae) of Mexico: parasite-host and host-parasite checklists
Zootaxa, 2007Parasite-host and host-parasite checklists are provided for all species of Ixodes known from Mexico; host and locality data are from specimens housed in the Colección Nacional de Ácaros, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, and from literature. Six Ixodes species (I. brunneus, I. conepati, I. dentatus, I.

Parasite―host coevolution and geographic patterns of parasite infectivity and host susceptibility
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1996Ebert (1994) has proposed the rule that parasites are, with few exceptions, more infective to sympatric hosts than to allopatric hosts. We test this rule using field data for schistosome infections of planorbid snails and find that, although sympatric parasite-host combinations do tend to be more compatible, there are exceptions where particular ...

Host-parasite dynamics and the evolution of host immunity and parasite fecundity strategies
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 1997We explore evolutionarily stable co-evolution of host-macroparasite++ interactions in a discrete-time two-species population dynamics model, in which the dynamics may be stable, cyclic or chaotic. The macroparasites are assumed to harm host individuals through decreased reproductive output. Hosts may develop costly immune responses to defend themselves

The Effects of Parasitism on the Host and on the Parasite
Journal of Economic Entomology, 1926The life of a parasite, contrary to general opinion, is not an easy one, it is full of dangers and the parasite is rigorously circumscribed. Parasitism is an achievement and the term degenerate is not aptly applied to this mode of living. Parasites are adapted to this mode of life in two general respects, namely (1) physiologically and (2 ...

The phenomenon of parasitism occurs amongst all groups of infective agents whether they are viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, helminths or arthropods. The main concern of this book is with the protozoa, helminths and arthropods, parasites that are still of public health importance in economically advanced societies.

Pathophysiology of Abomasal Parasitism: Is the Host or Parasite Responsible?
The Veterinary Journal, 2000Nematode larvae developing within the glands cause local loss of parietal cells and mucous cell hyperplasia whereas reduced acid secretion, increased serum gastrin and pepsinogen concentrations and generalized histological changes are associated with parasites in the abomasal lumen.

Abstract When a parasite attaches itself to a new host species, both species rapidly develop new traits. The parasite tries to exploit the host as much as it can, and the host tries to protect itself against the parasite. Dawkins and Krebs compared this relationship to an arms race between two superpowers, with each manufacturing new and

Virology: A parasite's parasite saves host's neighbours.
Nature, 2016Viruses can be attacked by parasitic viruses, which compete with them for cellular resources. It emerges that one such parasitic virus can defend a host-cell population from a viral attack [...]

The Host-Parasite Relationships of Plant-Parasitic Nematodes
1969Publisher Summary This chapter explores the relationship between parasite and potential host prior to the establishment of a feeding site, and describes the different types of nematode–microorganism complexes associated with the host. The basic aspects of host–parasite relationship are considered and the form, mechanism of action, and results of the ...
