The population dynamical implications of male-biased parasitism in different mating systems. [PDF]
, 2007 Although there is growing evidence that males tend to suffer higher levels of parasitism than females, the implications of this for the population dynamics of the host population are not yet understood. Here we build on an established ‘two-sex’ model and

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 ...

Osteopontin in the host response to Leishmania amazonensis
BMC Microbiology, 2019 Background Leishmania (L.) spp are intracellular eukaryotic parasites responsible for cutaneous or visceral leishmaniasis, replicating predominantly in macrophages (MF). In C57BL/6 mice virulence with L. amazonensis has been associated with inhibition 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 ...

PARASITISM IN E-COMMERCE: EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS
Наука Красноярья, 2020 The article deals with the phenomenon of parasitism, which is a consumer’s purchase of a product after checking its consumer qualities in a traditional store. This phenomenon has two types: inter-company and intra-company parasitism. To get more detailed

Influence of Landscape Diversity and Composition on the Parasitism of Cotton Bollworm Eggs in Maize. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We deployed >50,000 Helicoverpa armigera eggs in maize fields to assess the rate of parasitism by Trichogramma chilonis across 33 sites during a three-year span (2012-2014) in northern China. Subsequently, we used a partial least squares (PLS) regression
