Here’s how it works. Parasites are often demonised and misunderstood. But the more we study these oddities and wonders of evolution, the more we appreciate their vital roles in ecosystems and ...

The emergence of drug-resistant parasites thwarts efforts to control human malaria. How can we understand the mechanism of drug-resistance evolution and build a strategy to delay it? So far ...

According to the Red Queen hypothesis, sexual reproduction persists because it enables many species to rapidly evolve new genetic defenses against parasites that attempt to live off them.

Host-parasite interactions are a fundamental aspect of ecology and evolution, where the evolutionary paths of hosts and their parasites are intricately linked. This relationship often leads to a ...

parasite evolution, and the efficacy of proposed management strategies. We are interested in applying methods from community ecology to study the process of disease in complex assemblages of hosts and ...

parasites could potentially play a role in the delivery of therapeutic proteins to the brain. Professor Oded Rechavi, of Tel Aviv University, said: “Evolution already ‘invented’ organisms ...

The bugs carry the parasites in their feces and can infect hosts after a ... she wants to continue studying how pandemics both pre-and post-European contact shaped the genetic evolution of Indigenous ...

Set within a city where parasites rage, the parasites settled into their human hosts and increases their power and sexual desires. Dr. Suzune is a parasite expert who works daily to kill the ...
