Marine parasites in island-like disturbed habitats
Parasites are taxonomically and functionally diverse members of biological communities, and can play key roles in species interactions, community structure, and ecosystem functioning. For their reliance on host species, parasites are theorized to be particularly sensitive to disturbances that alter …

Studies using luciferase-expressing Leishmania donovani parasites
… of the luciferase gene into L. donovani parasites altered their susceptibility to commonly used anti-leishmanial drugs and their ability to infect cells and animals. Four different anti-leishmanial drugs were used in these studies i.e. sodium stibogluconate, amphotericin B, miltefosine …

Studies on protozoan parasites of small mammals
Studies on several different protozoan parasites of small mammals,moles (Talpa europaea), bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus), fieldvoles (Microtus agrestis), field mice (Apodemus sylvaticus), mice,rats and rabbits are described in this study.In the mole (Talpa europaea) three parasites were …

Interaction between Leishmania parasites and mammalian macrophages
Leishmania parasites are digenetic protozoans which infect human hosts and are causative agents of a series of diseases known under the name of leishmaniasis. Macrophages represent the main host. Hence the interaction between Leishmania and macrophages is a fundamental step in the development of …

Parasites of fishes from the San Joaquin Delta
… or parasite, but rather all groups of fishes and parasites encountered. As the amount of work done in California has not been extensive, more research will contribute to our understanding of these fishes and their parasites.

Comparative and Epidemiological Genomics of Human Malaria Parasites
… these different aspects of human malaria parasites, showing to what extent sequencing data can inform our understanding of human malaria and aid us in our fight against this devastating disease. Initially I assembled reference genome sequences for both P. malariae and P. ovale, an analysis …

Parasites in freshwater mussels: community ecology and conservation
Parasites can be studied with respect to their spatial distribution, abundance and diversity (a parasite-centric view), or with respect to their effects on host individuals, populations, communities and the wider ecosystem (a host-centric view). The former contributes to understandings of what …

A study of nematode parasites of some California salamanders
… information is available concerning the nematode parasites of salamanders in California. Lehmann (1954) reported the finding of Oxyuris dubia Leidy 1856, in the rectum of 33 Ensatine e. Eschscholtzii from Sonoma County, California, and in 3 of 10 Batrachoseps a. Attenuatus, from San Francisco …

Molecular Interactions between Apicomplexan Parasites and their Host Cells
… A notorious case is that of Plasmodium parasites, the causative agents of malaria and one of the most ancient and devastating diseases known to humankind. Prior to infecting red blood cells resulting in the symptomatic stage of infection, Plasmodium parasites infect liver cells and …

The parasites of Callorhinchus capensis (St. Joseph elephant fish).
The extent of parasitism by macroscopic parasites was assessed and the relationships between the parasites and their fish hosts in terms of sex, size and the condition factor of the fish were investigated.

Some diseases and parasites affecting cottontail rabbits in Virginia
… found that Trichostrongylus spp. were the only parasites significantly affected by drug treatment. The animals on the 70 percent ad libitum diet had lower final body weights, carcass weights, liver weights, tibia and femur marrow fat levels, and lower abdominal fat indices. It was concluded that …

Ecological consequences of non-native parasites for native UK fishes.
… species can result in the release of their parasites. Although the majority of parasites are lost during the introduction process, those that do get released can spill over to native species and potentially result in pathological, physiological and ecological impacts. Whilst it is …
