Unclear host taxonomy hinders parasite studies: An up-to-date checklist of the protozoan and metazoan parasites of Phoxinus minnows (Teleostei: Leuciscidae). [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract 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 ...

Characterization of antibodies mediating protection and cure of Trypanosoma musculi infection in mice. [PDF]
Infect Immun, 1985 Plasma samples were collected from mice infected with Trypanosoma musculi at different times postinfection and administered to naive recipient mice either before or during T. musculi infection. The protective and curative activities of these plasma samples were shown to increase as the time of collection postinfection increased; plasma collected at 14 ...

Chronic infection with Trypanosoma musculi in congenitally athymic nude mice. [PDF]
Infect Immun, 1977 Trypanosoma musculi produces a chronic infection with a consistently elevated parasitemia in nude mice. Thymic reconstitution of nude mice restores immunity to the infection.

Shifting focus from resistance to disease tolerance: A review on hybrid house mice
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022 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.

Role of Gap Junctions and Hemichannels in Parasitic Infections
BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 In vertebrates, connexins (Cxs) and pannexins (Panxs) are proteins that form gap junction channels and/or hemichannels located at cell‐cell interfaces and cell surface, respectively. Similar channel types are formed by innexins in invertebrate cells.

Trypanosoma congolense Infections: Induced Nitric Oxide Inhibits Parasite Growth In Vivo
Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 Wild‐type (WT) C57BL/6 mice infected intraperitoneally with 5 × 106 Trypanosoma congolense survive for more than 30 days. C57BL/6 mice deficient in inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS−/−) and infected with 103 or 5 × 106 parasites do not control the parasitemia and survive for only 14 ± 7 or 6.8 ± 0.1 days, respectively.
