Basics of Host-Parasite Ecology The terms parasite, pathogen, and infectious disease are often used interchangeably in disease ecology to describe organisms that live in or on and obtain resources ...

histolytica holds the key for improved understanding of the parasite biology and to employ effective intervention schemes. Improved diagnostics are now available to differentiate pathogenic E.

thereby enhancing the parasite's own transmission and survival. The study, published in the eLife journal, is described by the editors as highlighting an important discovery: a bacterial pathogen ...

The disease is caused by a pathogenic protist that has somehow travelled thousands of miles to infect its hosts. The parasite in question is called Maullinia, and only a handful of studies have ...

Around the world, pathogens and parasites are responding to the changes in unexpected ways, fueling the rise of pandemics and the extinction of countless plant and animal species. But all is not lost.

Aim 2: Identify parasite factors that modify host cellular immune responses and their role in pathogenesis. Ultimately, we hope to discover novel immunological pathways and host-pathogen interactions ...

But scientists working on COVID vaccines have one key thing in their favour: SARS-CoV-2 is a relatively simple pathogen. The malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, however, is an entirely more ...
