A new study sheds light on how parasites, often overlooked, can dramatically affect the balance between predator and prey populations. Researchers developed a groundbreaking mathematical framework ...

For the first time the developmental stages of the deadliest human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, have been mapped in high resolution, allowing scientists to better understand this ...

To evade our body's defenses, the parasite responsible for sleeping sickness uses a particular method. It modifies its own genetic instructions at the very moment they are produced, as ...

A fly capable of laying hundreds of eggs inside living flesh is heading our way. Known as the New World screwworm, reports ...

Despite decades of efforts to combat it, malaria remains a major global health threat. According to the World Health ...

Natural malaria infections have been genetically analysed at a higher resolution than ever before, giving insights that could help understand and block transmission. For the first time, the ...

Article ‘Count’ and ‘Share’ for Laboratory Biology of Host-Parasite Interactions based on listed parameters only. The articles listed below published by authors from Laboratory Biology of ...

An international team of scientists has shed light on the development of the malaria parasite and have identified a unique protein essential for its survival and transmission, which offers a promising ...

Researchers have shown how genetic defects in Toxoplasma gondii are rescued if co-infected with normal parasites, thanks to supportive secreted proteins. The study was published today as a Version of ...
