The Interactions of Parasite Calreticulin With Initial Complement Components: Consequences in Immunity and Virulence
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
Because of its capacity to increase a physiologic inflammatory response, to stimulate phagocytosis, to promote cell lysis and to enhance pathogen immunogenicity, the complement system is a crucial component of both the ...
Escovopsis kreiselii specialization to its native hosts in the fungiculture of the lower attine ant Mycetophylax morschi
(2018-01-01)
Parasite-host associations are widespread in nature and the fungus-growing ants are considered model organisms to study such interactions. These insects cultivate basidiomycetous fungi for food, which are threatened by ...
Neutrófilos têm um papel protetor durante os estágios iniciais da infecção por Leishmania amazonensis em camundongos BALB/c
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2013-10-24)
Neutrophils are involved in early stages of immune response to pathogens. In the present work, we investigated the role of neutrophils during the establishment of Leishmania amazonensis infection in BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice. ...
The Impacts of Parasitic Flies (Philornis spp.) on Nestlings of Three Passerines in a Southern Temperate Forest of ArgentinaImpactos de las moscas parásitas (philornis spp.) en los pollos de tres paseriformes en un bosque templado de Argentina
(Sociedad Española de Ornitología, 2021-08)
Philornis flies exert strong negative selection on avian host life histories. However, their possible influence at the southern limits of parasite distribution remains poorly studied. We collected data on Philornis parasitism ...
Diversidade de helmintos ictioparasitos da bacia do Rio Tramandaí, sul do Brasil
(Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, 2018-02-28)
Fish have the highest indices of parasite infections because the water environment facilitates the spread, reproduction and life cycle of most pathogenic agents. Parasites are an essential part of aquatic communities and ...
