Orobanchaceae parasite-host interactions.

New Phytologist, 2020
Parasitic plants in the family Orobanchaceae, such as Striga, Orobanche, and Phelipanche, often cause significant damage to agricultural crops. The Orobanchaceae family comprises more than 2,000 species in about 100 genera, providing an excellent system ...

A parasite's parasite saves host's neighbours

Nature, 2016
Viruses 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 [...]

QUANTIFYING PARASITES IN SAMPLES OF HOSTS [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal 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.

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.

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 ...

Host-parasite dynamics and the evolution of host immunity and parasite fecundity strategies

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 1997
We 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

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.

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.

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.
