Nestedness of Ectoparasite-Vertebrate Host Networks
Determining the structure of ectoparasite-host networks will enable disease ecologists to better understand and predict the spread of vector-borne diseases. If these networks have consistent properties, then studying the structure of well-understood networks could lead to extrapolation of these properties to others, including those that support emerging pathogens. Borrowing a quantitative measu...
متن کاملEffects of host sociality on ectoparasite population biology.
Theory predicts a positive relationship between parasite infection intensity and host density. However, this generalization is complicated in natural systems by differences in life history among parasite taxa, e.g., transmissibility. Accordingly, predictions relating host density to parasite load should be specific to each parasite taxon. To illustrate this, we studied parasites that differed g...
متن کاملBacteriophage T4-induced shut-off of host-specific translation.
To study the mechanism by which bacteriophage T4 inhibits the synthesis of inducible host enzymes we measured the formation of beta-galactosidase from preformed lac mRNA. Beta-Galactosidase was induced with isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside in the presence of 7-azatryptophan, a tryptophan analogue that is incorporated into proteins and renders the beta-galactosidase formed inactive. The ac...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of an off-host communications architecture
The Computer Networks Laboratory at the University of Virginia has implemented the SAFENET lightweight protocol suite on the Navy’s Desktop Tactical Computer (DTC2). The software delivered includes the Xpress Transfer Protocol, a new transport and network layer protocol to support high-throughput, low-latency, priority-sensitive communications. One of our research questions was whether to embed...
متن کاملHost-to-host variation of ecological interactions in polymicrobial infections.
Host-to-host variability with respect to interactions between microorganisms and multicellular hosts are commonly observed in infection and in homeostasis. However, the majority of mechanistic models used to analyze host-microorganism relationships, as well as most of the ecological theories proposed to explain coevolution of hosts and microbes, are based on averages across a host population. B...
