Differences in learning and memory of host plant features between specialist and generalist phytophagous insects
(Elsevier, 2015)
Insects are able to learn from experience acquired in their natal habitat, thereby obtaining adaptive
advantages. However, the acquisition of new information could involve defects in retrieving previously
learned information ...
Host selection by the generalist aphid Myzus persicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and its subspecies specialized on tobacco, after being reared on the same host
(2005)
Decision-making during host selection by phytophagous insects has proved to be related to host range, with specialists taking faster decisions than generalists; however, this pattern fails to materialize in some host ...
Demographic and performance effects of alternative host use in a Neotropical treehopper (Hemiptera: Membracidae)
(Elsevier, 2020)
The mechanisms which promote divergence in populations of phytophagous insects using alternative hosts depend on the characterization of hosts as different selective scenarios and the modeling of the demographic dynamics ...
Specialisation pattern of the aphid Rhopalosiphum maidis is not modified by experience on a novel host
(2001)
The effect of alternative host condition on the pattern of specialisation of the aphid Rhopalosiphum maidis (Fitch) was studied. R. maidis commonly occurs in Chile on Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense L.) but rarely on ...
Assessment of correlational selection on tolerance and resistance traits in a host plant-parasitic plant interaction
(Springer, 2001)
Resistance and tolerance are considered to be different plant strategies against disease. While resistance traits prevent hosts becoming parasitized or reduce the extent of parasitism, tolerance traits reduce the fitness-impact ...
Alternative hosts and standardization of methods to evaluate the biocontrol activity of mycoinsecticides.
(Universidad del ValleColombia, 2020-12-26)
The entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium anisopliae (Ascomycota: Clavicipitaceae) and Beauveria bassiana (Ascomycota: Cordycipitaceae) are an alternative for the control of grassland pests (e.g. Rhammatocerus schistocercoides ...
Trypanosoma cruzi evades the complement system as an efficient strategy to survive in the Mammalian host: the specific roles of host/parasite molecules and Trypanosoma cruzi Calreticulin
(Frontiers media SA, 2017)
American Trypanosomiasis is an important neglected reemerging tropical parasitism,
infecting about 8 million people worldwide. Its agent, Trypanosoma cruzi, exhibits
multiple mechanisms to evade the host immune response ...
Diversity and geographical distribution of flavobacterium psychrophilum Isolates and their phages: patterns of dusceptibility to phage infection and phage host range
(Springer, 2014)
Flavobacterium psychrophilum is an important fish
pathogen worldwide that causes cold water disease (CWD) or
rainbow trout fry syndrome (RTFS). Phage therapy has been
suggested as an alternative method for the control ...
Conyza bonariensisas an alternative host for Colletotrichum species in Argentina
(Wiley, 2020)
Aims: This study investigated the diversity of Colletotrichum isolates recovered
from Conyza bonariensis leaves through the use of morphological
characteristics, growth rate, carbon sources utilization and phylogenetic ...
Pharmacological iron-chelation as an assisted nutritional immunity strategy against Piscirickettsia salmonis infection
(BMC, 2020)
Salmonid Rickettsial Septicaemia (SRS), caused by Piscirickettsia salmonis, is a severe bacterial disease in the Chilean salmon farming industry. Vaccines and antibiotics are the current strategies to fight SRS; however, ...
