The Adaptive Host Manipulation Hypothesis: Parasites Modify the Behaviour, Morphology, and Physiology of Amphibians
(GB, 2022-09)
Parasites have evolved different strategies to increase their transmission from one host to another. The Adaptive Host Manipulation hypothesis states that parasites induce modifications of host phenotypes that could maximise ...
Host-seeking behavior and dispersal of Triatoma infestans, a vector of Chagas disease, under semi-field conditions
(Public Library of Science, 2015)
Chagas disease affects millions of people in Latin America. The control of this vector-borne disease focuses on halting transmission by reducing or eliminating insect vector populations. Most transmission of Trypanosoma ...
Protozoan encounters with Toll-like receptor signalling pathways: implications for host parasitism
(Nature Pub. Group, 2013)
Implicações da agregação espacial de parasitas para a dinâmica populacional na interação hospedeiro-parasita
(1997-10-01)
Some aspects of the widely observed over-dispersed pattern of the distribution of parasites within the host population are examined. It has been established in the parasitological literature that most hosts usually harbour ...

THE PARASITOID, Cotesia flavipes (CAMERON) (HYMENOPTERA: BRACONIDAE), INFLUENCES FOOD CONSUMPTION AND UTILIZATION BY LARVAL Diatraea saccharalis (F.) (LEPIDOPTERA: CRAMBIDAE)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-10-01)
Parasitoids exploit host insects for food and other resources; they alter host development and physiology to optimize conditions to favor parasitoid development. Parasitoids influence their hosts by injecting eggs, along ...
Local Host Adaptation and Use of a Novel Host in the Seed Beetle Megacerus eulophus
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
Spatial variation in host plant availability may lead to specialization in host use and local host adaptation in herbivorous insects, which may involve a cost in performance on other hosts. We studied two geographically ...
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 ...
