Host Castration as a Parasitic Strategy [PDF]
Evolution, 1975 The "destruction or alteration of (the host's) gonad tissue by parasites" (Noble and Noble, 1971) is widely referred to as parasitic castration. It is often accompanied by a modification in the expression of the host's secondary sexual characteristics and may also have a variety of other physiological and behavioral effects.

Genetic variability in parasites and host—parasite interactions [PDF]
Parasitology, 1996 SUMMARYWe have examined genetic variability in parasites in the context of ecological interactions with the host. Recent research onEchinococcus, GiardiaandCryptosporidiumhas been used to illustrate: (i) the problems that parasite variability and species recognition pose for understanding the complex and often controversial relationship between ...

Supercompliant Lattice Boosts n‐type AgSbTe2 Thermoelectrics
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The supercompliant lattice design enables the first realization of n‐type electrical transport in AgSbTe2 by overcoming intrinsic electron‐killer defects and exceeding the doping limits imposed by the conventional Hume–Rothery rule. Accordingly, the best performance n‐type Ag0.8Na0.3Sb0.6Bi0.4Te2 sample achieves a low κ of 0.27 W·m−1·K−1 that ...

Host-parasite relationships in the genome [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2011 Transposable elements are best interpreted as genomic parasites, proliferating in genomes through their over-replication relative to the rest of the genome. A new study examining correlations across Drosophila species between transposable element numbers and rates of host evolution has brought into focus one of the most complex questions in ...

Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, 2015 Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by parasites have important roles in establishing and maintaining infection. Analysis of the soluble and vesicular secretions of adult Fasciola hepatica has established a definitive characterization of the total ...

Z‐Scheme Water Splitting Systems Based on Solid‐State Electron Conductors
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review examines the latest advances in Z‐scheme overall water splitting (OWS) systems for solar hydrogen production. These systems consist of suspended or immobilized hydrogen evolution photocatalysts (HEPs) and oxygen evolution photocatalysts (OEPs).

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
