Effects of juvenile host density and food availability on adult immune response, parasite resistance and virulence in a Daphnia-parasite system.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Host density can increase infection rates and reduce host fitness as increasing population density enhances the risk of becoming infected either through increased encounter rate or because host condition may decline.

Infection in patchy populations: Contrasting pathogen invasion success and dispersal at varying times since host colonization

open access: yesEvolution Letters, 2019
Repeated extinction and recolonization events generate a landscape of host populations that vary in their time since colonization. Within this dynamic landscape, pathogens that excel at invading recently colonized host populations are not necessarily ...

Do biological control agents adapt to local pest genotypes? A multiyear test across geographic scales

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications
Parasite local adaptation has been a major focus of (co)evolutionary research on host–parasite interactions. Studies of wild host–parasite systems frequently find that parasites paired with local, sympatric host genotypes perform better than parasites ...

Occurrence of Pasteuria spp. in the northeastern Spain

open access: yes, 1997
The occurrence of Pasteuria spp. In Spanish oils is reported. A total of 160 soil samples were collected from vegetable crops, kiwi and citrus orchards, and deciduous fruit trees. Bacteria were found associated with six nematode genera but they were only observed within females of Meloidogyne spp., second-stage juveniles and males of Tylenchulus ...

Population Development of Pasteuria penetrans on Meloidogyne arenaria.

open access: yesJournal of nematology, 2011
A microplot study on the influence of cropping sequences with peanut in summer and bare fallowed or cover crops of rye or vetch in winter on the population development of Pasteuria penetrans was initiated in the spring of 1987. The number of spores of P.

Long-term balancing selection for pathogen resistance maintains trans-species polymorphisms in a planktonic crustacean

open access: yesNature Communications
Balancing selection is an evolutionary process that maintains genetic polymorphisms at selected loci and strongly reduces the likelihood of allele fixation.

Observations on a Pasteuria Isolate Parasitic on Hoplolaimus galeatus in Peru.

open access: yesJournal of nematology, 1998
A Pasteuria isolate associated with a population of the lance nematode Hoplolaimus galeatus was discovered in Peru. The infective propagules adhered to adult stages and juveniles and were found filling the bodies of males and females. The endospore and central core diameters measured 4.5 +/- 0.4 pm and 1.9 +/- 0.2 mum, respectively, which differed from

Parasitism of Helicotylenchus lobus by Pasteuria penetrans in Naturally Infested Soil.

open access: yesJournal of nematology, 1992
The population density of Helicotylenchus lobus and the percentage of the population with spores of Pasteuria penetrans were determined for 10 monthly intervals in naturally infested turf grass soil at Riverside, California. The percentage of nematodes with attached spores ranged from 40% to 67%.
