Host-parasite Relations in Mouse Typhoid
The development of acquired resistance to Salmonella typhimurium has been studied in mice infected intravenously with small numbers of streptomycin-sensitive or streptomycin-resistant organisms. By the 14th day of a primary infection the mouse develops a mechanism capable of destroying completely a super infecting dose of organisms, but is unable to eliminate organisms of the primary infection....
متن کاملHost Longevity and Parasite Species Richness in Mammals
Hosts and parasites co-evolve, with each lineage exerting selective pressures on the other. Thus, parasites may influence host life-history characteristics, such as longevity, and simultaneously host life-history may influence parasite diversity. If parasite burden causes increased mortality, we expect a negative association between host longevity and parasite species richness. Alternatively, i...
متن کاملHost range and local parasite adaptation.
Parasites may be expected to become locally adapted to their hosts. However, while many empirical studies have demonstrated local parasite adaptation, others have failed to demonstrate it, or have shown local parasite maladaptation. Researchers have suggested that gene flow can swamp local parasite-host dynamics and produce local adaptation only at certain geographical scales; others have argue...
متن کاملHost Immune Mechanisms of Parasite Destruction
Mechanism of Immunity The immune system exhibits a range of responses involving humoral factors, immunoglobulin, and sensitized calls of the lymphoid system. The immunoglobulin which posses antibody activity comprise distinct classes of which IgG, IgM, IgA and IgE are the most important, IgG is the predominant class circulating in the blood stream. IgA may be involved in local immune response t...
متن کاملHost Sexual Dimorphism and Parasite Adaptation
In species with separate sexes, parasite prevalence and disease expression is often different between males and females. This effect has mainly been attributed to sex differences in host traits, such as immune response. Here, we make the case for how properties of the parasites themselves can also matter. Specifically, we suggest that differences between host sexes in many different traits, suc...
