Host status of citrus rootstocks for the population K 5 of Pratylenchus jaehni Pratylenchus jaehni has been reported as the main nematode in Brazilian citrus orchards due to the economic losses it causes. Considering the ...

We extend our previous model for the dynamical interaction between a mammal's immune response and the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite during the acute phase of Chagas disease. The model here considers both humoral and cellular ...

Accurate quantification of infection parameters is necessary to ensure effective surveillance, investigation and mitigation of infectious diseases. However, hosts and pathogens are often imperfectly observed and key ...

In general, hosts develop resistance to ticks after repeated infestations; nevertheless, several studies on naturally occurring host-tick interactions were unable to detect resistance of hosts to ticks even after repeated ...

Meloidogyne is a relevant plant-parasitic nematode that causes enormous damage. It is very challenging to control, and there are not many chemicals available on the market for that. As an alternative method of nematode ...

Spreading of viral infection in the tissues such as lymph nodes or spleen depends on virus multiplication in the host cells, their transport and on the immune response. Reaction-diffusion systems of equations with delays ...
