Somatic cell parasitism and the evolution of somatic tissue compatibility.
Selection pressures proposed to account for the convergent evolution of self/not-self recognition systems in lower organisms include defense against microbial parasites and somatic cell variants. Direct support for the existence of somatic cell parasites in natural populations has been lacking. I here report the occurrence of a somatic cell parasite in the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium muco...
متن کاملLarge-scale determinants of trematode infections in intertidal gastropods
The influence of latitude, substrate type, tidal level, and host shell size on trematode species-richness and prevalence were assessed using published data on 255 samples from 54 species of marine intertidal gastropods. The analyses were performed at different levels of statistical independence: among all samples, across snail species, and using phylogenetically independent contrasts. Repeatabi...
متن کاملToeplitz determinants from compatibility conditions
In this paper we show, how a straightforward and natural application of a pair of fundamental identities valid for polynomials orthogonal over the unit circle, can be used to calculate the determinant of the finite Toeplitz matrix, ∆n = det(wj−k) n−1 j,k=0 := det (
متن کاملIntracellular parasitism and molecular determinants of Legionella virulence.
Bacteria of the genus Legionella are intracellular parasites and major human pathogens. They bind to surface receptors, penetrate eukaryotic cells and initiate complex disorders during phagocytosis. These disorders include inhibition of oxidative burst, a decrease in phagosome acidification, the blocking of phagosome maturation and changes in organelle trafficking. As a result, the microorganis...
متن کاملLarge scale patterns of trematode parasitism in a bivalve host: no evidence for a latitudinal gradient in infection levels
Climate is a key driver of parasite transmission and disease dynamics. For trematode parasites, the high temperature sensitivity of transmission between first and second intermediate hosts may lead to higher infection rates with global warming, or spatially with warmer latitudes. However, spatial heterogeneities are common, and local factors are known to play crucial roles in determining infect...
