Infection with Trypanosoma lewisi or Trypanosoma musculi may promote the spread of Toxoplasma gondii. [PDF]
Toxoplasma gondii can infect almost all warm-blooded vertebrates with pathogensis being largely influenced by the host immune status. As important epidemiological hosts, rodents are globally distributed and are also commonly found infected with ...

Modulation of the Immune Response by Nematode Secreted Acetylcholinesterase Revealed by Heterologous Expression in Trypanosoma musculi. [PDF]
Nematode parasites secrete molecules which regulate the mammalian immune system, but their genetic intractability is a major impediment to identifying and characterising the biological effects of these molecules.

Kinetoplast DNA structure, RNA editing patterns and small respiratory Complex I in Trypanosoma musculi [PDF]
Kinetoplast (k) DNA, a specialized form of mitochondrial DNA in trypanosomes, is composed of catenated maxicircles and minicircles, and is essential for the survival of these parasitic protists.

Unclear host taxonomy hinders parasite studies: An up-to-date checklist of the protozoan and metazoan parasites of Phoxinus minnows (Teleostei: Leuciscidae). [PDF]
Abstract Phoxinus minnows are small freshwater fish found throughout Eurasia. The taxonomy of this genus is still under investigation, and new species are regularly described. They are frequently introduced outside their native range due to their use as live bait for angling, and such fish introductions can have diverse impacts on the recipient areas ...

Shifting focus from resistance to disease tolerance: A review on hybrid house mice
Our review shows evidence for hybrid vigor against in the house mouse hybrid zone. This vigor manifests in elevated resistance. We discuss that resistance is not necessarily a linked with fitness and argue that this research should switch its focus to tolerance.
