Dendritic cell-mediated vaccination relies on interleukin-4 receptor signaling to avoid tissue damage after Leishmania major infection of BALB/c mice. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012 Prevention of tissue damages at the site of Leishmania major inoculation can be achieved if the BALB/c mice are systemically given L. major antigen (LmAg)-loaded bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DC) that had been exposed to CpG-containing ...

The role of defensive symbionts in host–parasite coevolution
Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2018 Understanding the coevolution of hosts and parasites is a long‐standing goal of evolutionary biology. There is a well‐developed theoretical framework to describe the evolution of host–parasite interactions under the assumption of direct, two‐species ...

Role of the Parasite and Host Cytoskeleton in Apicomplexa Parasitism [PDF]
Cell Host & Microbe, 2009 The phylum Apicomplexa includes a large and diverse group of obligate intracellular parasites that rely on actomyosin-based motility to migrate, enter host cells, and egress from infected cells. To ensure their intracellular survival and replication, the apicomplexans have evolved sophisticated strategies for subversion of the host cytoskeleton.

Toxoplasma effectors targeting host signaling and transcription [PDF]
, 2017 Early electron microscopy studies revealed the elaborate cellular features that define the unique adaptations of apicomplexan parasites. Among these were bulbous rhoptry (ROP) organelles and small, dense granules (GRAs), both of which are secreted during

PLoS Biology, 2018 The complexity of host–parasite interactions makes it difficult to predict how host–parasite systems will respond to climate change. In particular, host and parasite traits such as survival and virulence may have distinct temperature dependencies that ...

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Population Ecology, EarlyView.Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

PLoS Pathogens, 2017 Toxoplasma is an obligate intracellular parasite that replicates in mammalian cells within a parasitophorous vacuole (PV) that does not fuse with any host organelles.

Parasitism is always costly to the host
Zoological Research, 2021 Recent studies have examined the cost of raising parasitic cuckoos and highlighted the importance of "no extra cost" in explaining the low levels of defense in hosts. To clarify the reasons for parasitization in typical hosts, we present a simple model to explore the immediate and future costs of parasitism in shaping the evolution of defense behavior ...
