Manipulation of host and parasite microbiotas: Survival strategies during chronic nematode infection
Science Advances, 2018 Intestinal parasite selects for its own intestinal microbiota from the host and modifies the host’s microbiota. Intestinal dwelling parasites have evolved closely with the complex intestinal microbiota of their host, but the significance of the host ...

Parasite responses to pollution: what we know and where we go in ‘Environmental Parasitology’
Parasites & Vectors, 2017 Environmental parasitology deals with the interactions between parasites and pollutants in the environment. Their sensitivity to pollutants and environmental disturbances makes many parasite taxa useful indicators of environmental health and ...

The Influence of Parasite Infections on Host Immunity to Co-infection With Other Pathogens
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Parasites have evolved a wide range of mechanisms that they use to evade or manipulate the host's immune response and establish infection. The majority of the in vivo studies that have investigated these host-parasite interactions have been undertaken in

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Wolbachia is a widespread endosymbiont of insects and filarial nematodes that profoundly influences host biology. Wolbachia has also been reported in rhizosphere hosts, where its diversity and function remain poorly characterized.

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.

Detecting parasite associations within multi-species host and parasite communities
Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2019 Understanding the role of biotic interactions in shaping natural communities is a long-standing challenge in ecology. It is particularly pertinent to parasite communities sharing the same host communities and individuals, as the interactions among ...
