Experimental evidence that host choice by parasites is age-dependent in a fish-monogenean system
(2022-01-01)
Host age is known to influence the risk of parasite infection, but there is very little experimental evidence on whether parasites show preference towards potential hosts of a specific age. To investigate how host age ...
Host specific reproductive benefits, host selection behavior and host use pattern of the pinnotherid crab Calyptraeotheres garthi
(Elsevier Science, 2012-11)
In organisms using a wide variety of refuges, both the cost and benefits to the users might be refuge-specific. Under these circumstances, users using mechanisms (e.g., behavioral preference) that allow them to find and ...
Nicotiana tabacum as an experimental host for the study of plant-Xylella fastidiosa interactions
(2000-08-01)
Xylella fastidiosa causes citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC). Information generated from the X. fastidiosa genome project is being used to study the underlying mechanisms responsible for pathogenicity. However, the lack of ...
MicrobioLink: An Integrated Computational Pipeline to Infer Functional Effects of Microbiome-Host Interactions
(2020-05-21)
Microbiome-host interactions play significant roles in health and in various diseases including autoimmune disorders. Uncovering these inter-kingdom cross-talks propels our understanding of disease pathogenesis and provides ...
Amblyomma parvitarsum (Acari: Ixodidae): localities, hosts and host-parasite ecology
(2014-01)
Only a few aspects of the biology of Amblyomma parvitarsum Neumann are known. Adults of this hard tick species are parasites of South American camelids in the Andean plateau of Argentina, Bolivia, Peru and Chile and also ...
A method for testing the host specificity of ectoparasites: give them the opportunity to choose
(Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2019)
Life-cycle and host preference of Amblyomma ovale (Acari: Ixodidae) under laboratory conditions
(SPRINGERDORDRECHT, 2012)
This study evaluated for the first time the life cycle of Amblyomma ovale in the laboratory. For this purpose, larvae and nymphs were exposed to Gallus gallus (chickens), Cavia porcellus (guinea pigs), Rattus norvegicus ...
Animal Hosts and Experimental Models of SARS-CoV-2 Infection
(Karger, 2022)
Is species richness driving intra- and interspecific interactions and temporal activity overlap of a hantavirus host? An experimental test
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
High species diversity of the potential animal host community for a zoonotic pathogen may reduce pathogen transmission among the most competent host, a phenomenon called the “dilution effect”, but the mechanisms driving ...
