Density-and trait-mediated effects of a parasite and a predator in a tri-trophic food web [PDF]
, 2014 1. Despite growing interest in ecological consequences of parasitism in food webs, relatively little is known about effects of parasites on long-term population dynamics of non-host species or about whether such effects are density- or trait- mediated ...

Morphodynamics of the Actin-Rich Cytoskeleton in Entamoeba histolytica
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018 Entamoeba histolytica is the anaerobic protozoan parasite responsible for human amoebiasis, the third most deadly parasitic disease worldwide. This highly motile eukaryotic cell invades human tissues and constitutes an excellent experimental model of ...

An experimental test of host's life history traits modulation in response to cuckoo parasitism risk. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Hosts can counteract parasites through defences based on resistance and/or tolerance. The mechanistic basis of tolerance, which involve defensive mechanisms minimizing parasite damage after a successful parasitic attack, remains poorly explored in the ...

Host and Habitat Use by Parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) of House Fly and Stable Fly (Diptera: Muscidae) Pupae [PDF]
, 2018 House fly and stable fly pupae were collected during the summer from a dairy farm in northern Illinois. Spalangia nigroaenea accounted for most of the parasitoids recovered from house flies. Spalangia nigra, S.
