Pulmonary Manifestations of Parasitic Diseases in Children
(Elsevier, 2020)
Parasites can cause respiratory symptoms through focal or diffuse lung involvement, depending on the location of the parasite and the host's immune response. Pulmonary involvement can be a major feature of some parasitic ...
Gut microbiota and parasite transmission by insect vectors
(Elsevier (Cell Press), 2019)
Experimental porcine cysticercosis using infected beetles with Taenia solium eggs
(Elsevier, 2018)
Beetles are intermediate hosts for human and animal parasites, and several beetle species have been shown to carry Taenia eggs. An experimental porcine cysticercosis infection model was developed using beetles (Ammophorus ...
Indirect positive effects of a parasitic plant on host pollination and seed dispersal
(Wiley, 2014)
Parasitic plants often have a strong fitness-impact on their plant hosts through increased host mortality and reduced or complete suppression of reproduction. Tristerix corymbosus (Loranthaceae) is a hemiparasitic mistletoe ...
Trichomonas vaginalis Exosomes Deliver Cargo to Host Cells and Mediate Host: Parasite Interactions
(Public Library of Science, 2013-07-11)
Trichomonas vaginalis is a common sexually transmitted parasite that colonizes the human urogential tract where it remains extracellular and adheres to epithelial cells. Infections range from asymptomatic to highly ...
Genetic patterns of repeat and multiple parasitism by screaming cowbirds, a specialist brood parasite
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-09)
Avian brood parasites lay their eggs in the nests of other species, leaving the hosts to care for the parasitic offspring. The bookkeeping hypothesis predicts that, in order to reduce competition between parasitic nestlings, ...
Coevolutionary arms race between a specialist brood parasite, the Screaming Cowbird, and its host, the Grayish Baywing
(Springer, 2019-10)
Interspecific brood parasites exploit the parental care of host species. This exploitation entails fitness costs for the hosts, which favor the evolution of antiparasitic defenses. Host defenses select for counter-defenses ...
Multiple genetic origins of histidine-rich protein 2 gene deletion in Plasmodium falciparum parasites from Peru
(Springer Nature, 2013)
The majority of malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) detect Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2), encoded by the pfhrp2 gene. Recently, P. falciparum isolates from Peru were found to lack pfhrp2 leading ...
