New compound sets identified from high throughput phenotypic screening against three kinetoplastid parasites:an open resource [PDF]

, 2015
Using whole-cell phenotypic assays, the GlaxoSmithKline high-throughput screening (HTS) diversity set of 1.8 million compounds was screened against the three kinetoplastids most relevant to human disease, i.e.

Host-parasite models on graphs [PDF]

Physical Review E, 2005
The behavior of two interacting populations, ``hosts''and ``parasites'', is investigated on Cayley trees and scale-free networks. In the former case analytical and numerical arguments elucidate a phase diagram, whose most interesting feature is the absence of a tri-critical point as a function of the two independent spreading parameters. For scale-free

The mutualistic side of Wolbachia-Isopod interactions: Wolbachia mediated protection against pathogenic intracellular bacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Wolbachia is a vertically transmitted endosymbiont whose radiative success is mainly related to various host reproductive manipulations that led to consider this symbiont as a conflictual reproductive parasite.

Expanded genome-wide comparisons give novel insights into population structure and genetic heterogeneity of Leishmania tropica complex.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Leishmania tropica is one of the main causative agents of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). Population structures of L. tropica appear to be genetically highly diverse. However, the relationship between L.

Checklist and state of knowledge of helminths in wild birds from Chile: an update

Austral Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2021
Helminths are an important component of biodiversity with over 24,000 species parasitising wild birds globally, with this figure on the rise given the growing interest in wildlife parasitology.

Confirmation of Galba truncatula as an intermediate host snail for Calicophoron daubneyi in Great Britain, with evidence of alternative snail species hosting Fasciola hepatica

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Fasciola hepatica is a highly prevalent parasite infecting livestock in Great Britain, while Calicophoron daubneyi is an emerging parasite within the GB livestock industry. Both F. hepatica and C. daubneyi require an intermediate host snail to

Trichuris trichiura (Linnaeus, 1771) From Human and Non-human Primates: Morphology, Biometry, Host Specificity, Molecular Characterization, and Phylogeny

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Human trichuriasis is a Neglected Tropical Disease, which affects hundreds of millions of persons worldwide. Several studies have reported that non-human primates (NHP) represent important reservoirs for several known zoonotic infectious diseases.

Toxoplasma gondii seroprevalence in extensively farmed wild boars (Sus scrofa) in Denmark

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2019
Toxoplasma gondii is a zoonotic parasite of worldwide importance. In this study, we estimated T. gondii seroprevalence in extensively farmed wild boars in Denmark, where little is known about T. gondii in animal hosts.

Host Castration as a Parasitic Strategy [PDF]

Evolution, 1975
The "destruction or alteration of (the host's) gonad tissue by parasites" (Noble and Noble, 1971) is widely referred to as parasitic castration. It is often accompanied by a modification in the expression of the host's secondary sexual characteristics and may also have a variety of other physiological and behavioral effects.
