Heterogeneous Host Susceptibility Enhances Prevalence of Mixed-Genotype Micro-Parasite Infections
Dose response in micro-parasite infections is usually shallower than predicted by the independent action model, which assumes that each infectious unit has a probability of infection that is independent of the presence of other infectious units. Moreover, the prevalence of mixed-genotype infections was greater than predicted by this model. No probabilistic infection model has been proposed to a...
متن کاملVirulence in rodent malaria: host genotype by parasite genotype interactions.
In an effort to understand what limits the virulence of malaria parasites, we infected inbred mice of three genotypes (C57Bl/6J, CBA/Ca and DBA/2) with one of two parasite lines of the rodent malaria Plasmodium chabaudi. One of these parasite lines had been serially passaged through C57Bl/6J mice and had evolved higher asexual growth rate, virulence and transmission in the process. The other pa...
متن کاملHost parasite relationships in gram-negative infections.
It's not surprisingly when entering this site to get the book. One of the popular books now is the host parasite relationships in gram negative infections. You may be confused because you can't find the book in the book store around your city. Commonly, the popular book will be sold quickly. And when you have found the store to buy the book, it will be so hurt when you run out of it. This is wh...
متن کاملHost ecology determines the relative fitness of virus genotypes in mixed-genotype nucleopolyhedrovirus infections.
Mixed-genotype infections are common in many natural host-parasite interactions. Classical kin-selection models predict that single-genotype infections can exploit host resources prudently to maximize fitness, but that selection favours rapid exploitation when co-infecting genotypes share limited host resources. However, theory has outpaced evidence: we require empirical studies of pathogen gen...
متن کاملHigh prevalence of mixed infections by Helicobacter pylori in Hong Kong: metronidazole sensitivity and overall genotype.
BACKGROUND Diversity in metronidazole susceptibility and genotypes of Helicobacter pylori have been reported with varying results in different areas. AIMS To investigate the prevalence of multiple strain infection in a symptomatic Chinese population and to determine the metronidazole susceptibility pattern and genotypic characteristics of these infecting strains. METHODS Gastric biopsies fr...
