Parasite infection in a cell population with deaths [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 We introduce a general class of branching Markov processes for the modelling of a parasite infection in a cell population. Each cell contains a quantity of parasites which evolves as a diffusion with positive jumps. The growth rate, diffusive function and positive jump rate of this quantity of parasites depend on its current value. The division rate of

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The nanoscale hybridization of MXene and amorphous metal‐organic framework (MXene–aMOF) achieves exceptional electrochemical stability and ion storage capacity, attributed to the synergistic interplay between the nanoporous surfaces of aMOF and the metal‐like electron conduction of MXene.

Low Virulence of the Fungi Escovopsis and Escovopsioides to a Leaf-Cutting Ant-Fungus Symbiosis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Eusocial insects interact with a diversity of parasites that can threaten their survival and reproduction. The amount of harm these parasites cause to their hosts (i.e., their virulence) can be influenced by numerous factors, such as the ecological ...

Advanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.The seal louse Echinophthirius horridus has uniquely shaped setae that may reduce drag during its host's dives. Using numerical simulations, this study demonstrates that their natural inclination promotes vortex formation, minimizing friction and energy loss. These findings provide insights into biological surface adaptations and may inspire the design

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2011 Genetic analysis of passerine birds often finds evidence of extra–pair copulations within species, but genetic evidence of intraspecific brood parasitism (IBP) and quasi–parasitism (Q–P) are relatively rare. Further, it is even rarer for genetic patterns

Paracrine Behaviors Arbitrate Parasite-Like Interactions Between Tumor Subclones
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Explaining the emergence and maintenance of intratumor heterogeneity is an important question in cancer biology. Tumor cells can generate considerable subclonal diversity, which influences tumor growth rate, treatment resistance, and metastasis, yet we ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Root‐knot nematode (RKN) disease seriously affects the yield and quality of vegetable crops. SlDOF9‐SlSWEET17 model helps plants resist RKN infection during early stage by switching off the sugar transport capacity of other SlSWEET proteins that are hijacked by RKNs.

Sequence mining and transcript profiling to explore cyst nematode parasitism
BMC Genomics, 2009 Background Cyst nematodes are devastating plant parasites that become sedentary within plant roots and induce the transformation of normal plant cells into elaborate feeding cells with the help of secreted effectors, the parasitism proteins.

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.Therapeutic effect of natural products on chicken coccidiosis. Abstract The intestinal tract is the main place for animals to digest food and absorb nutrients, which also serves as the first line of defense against pathogens that invade the internal environment.
