Evolutionary and proximate mechanisms shaping host-parasite interactions : the case of "Daphnia magna" and its natural bacterial parasite "Pasteuria ramosa" [PDF]
, 2011 Host-parasite interactions are composed of a sequence of steps, all necessary for successful infection: parasites need to encounter their hosts, to enter into their bodies, and to proliferate within them. Selection will act on the mechanisms used in each

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.

Host sexual dimorphism and parasite adaptation [PDF]
, 2012 In species with separate sexes, parasite prevalence and disease expression is often different between males and females. This effect has mainly been attributed to sex differences in host traits, such as immune response.

Malaria parasite cGMP-dependent protein kinase regulates blood stage merozoite secretory organelle discharge and egress. [PDF]
, 2013 The malaria parasite replicates within an intraerythrocytic parasitophorous vacuole (PV). Eventually, in a tightly regulated process called egress, proteins of the PV and intracellular merozoite surface are modified by an essential parasite serine ...
