How do host restriction factors influence dengue virus replication?
(Future Medicine, 2016-12)
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 ...
Spatial and temporal variation in host–parasitoid interactions: leafcutter ant hosts and their phorid parasitoids
(Wiley, 2017-10)
1. Parasitoid–host interactions are important components of ecological communities. Although parasitoid–host interactions are strongly shaped by evolutionary history, the abundance of both the parasitoid and the host may ...
Parasitic assemblages on leafminers: a comparison of structure and function among host Orders
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2011-04)
In this study we ask whether parasitic complexes of leafminers display differences associated to host order, by comparing species number, taxonomic composition, parasitism rates and host ranges in parasitoid assemblages ...
Host switching in cowbird brood parasites: how often does it occur?
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-05)
Avian obligate brood parasites lay their eggs in nests of host species, which provide all parental care. Brood parasites may be host specialists, if they use one or a few host species, or host generalists, if they ...
Host makes the difference: the effect of two planthopper host species on host-feeding and parasitism activities of the pincer wasp Gonatopus bonaerensis
(Springer, 2019-12)
Females of Gonatopus bonaerensis Virla (Hym.: Dryinidae), a parasitoid of Delphacidae (Hemiptera), practices host-feeding. It was demonstrated for several species of Dryinidae that host mortality caused by host-feeding is ...
Reservoir host competence and the role of domestic and commensal hosts in the transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi
(Elsevier Science, 2015-03)
We review the epidemiological role of domestic and commensal hosts of Trypanosoma cruzi using aquantitative approach, and compiled >400 reports on their natural infection. We link the theory under-lying simple mathematical ...
Host specificity in the host-seeking larva of the dipteran parasitoid Mallophora ruficauda and the influence of age on parasitism decisions
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-02)
Larvae of the robber fly Mallophora ruficauda are ectoparasitoids of white grubs and adults are an important apiculture pest in Argentina. Females oviposit on tall grasses and the second instar larva actively searches and ...
Schistosoma mansoni: Microarray analysis of gene expression induced by host sex
