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

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

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.

Bovine cryptosporidiosis: impact, host-parasite interaction and control strategies
Veterinary Research, 2017 Gastrointestinal disease caused by the apicomplexan parasite Cryptosporidium parvum is one of the most important diseases of young ruminant livestock, particularly neonatal calves.

Coevolution of hosts and parasites
Parasitology, 1982 The coevolution of parasites and their hosts has both general biological interest and practical implications in agricultural, veterinary and medical fields. Surprisingly, most medical, parasitological and ecological texts dismiss the subject with unsupported statements to the effect that ‘successful’ parasite species evolve to be harmless to their ...

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 ...

Biogeographical patterns of endolithic infestation in an invasive and an indigenous intertidal marine ecosystem engineer [PDF]
, 2019 By altering the phenotypic properties of their hosts, endolithic parasites can modulate the engineering processes of marine ecosystem engineers. Here, we assessed the biogeographical patterns of species assemblages, prevalence and impact of endolithic ...
