Molecular Parasitic Plant–Host Interactions
Throughout evolution, a wide number of organisms specialized in parasitizing plants. Plants are not exceptions; certain plant species evolved as parasites of their own kind. Parasitic angiosperms evolved at least 12 times and show various lifestyles. For example, facultative parasitic plants can complete their life cycle and produce seeds without hosts, whereas obligate parasitic plants totally...
متن کاملMolecular Diagnostics of Parasitic Infections
DNA-based methods have been available for many years in most clinical microbiology laboratories. However, until recently, these tools were not routinely exploited for the diagnosis of parasitic infections. Laboratories were reluctant to implement PCR, not knowing how to incorporate such an approach in the algorithm of tools available for the most accurate diagnosis of a large variety of parasit...
متن کاملChildhood malnutrition and parasitic helminth interactions.
BACKGROUND There is evidence to support that nutritional deficiency can reduce the body's immune function, thereby decreasing resistance to disease and increasing susceptibility to intestinal parasites. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was carried out on 693 school-aged children from 5 schistosomiasis-endemic villages in Northern Samar, the Philippines. Data on dietary intake, nutritional sta...
متن کاملUnrevealing Parasitic Trophic Interactions—A Molecular Approach for Fluid-Feeding Fishes
Fish diets have been traditionally studied through the direct visual identification of food items found in their stomachs. Stomach contents of Vandeliinae and Stegophilinae (family Trichomycteridae) parasite catfishes, however, cannot be identified by usual optical methods due to their mucophagic, lepidophagic, or hematophagic diets, in such a way that the trophic interactions and the dynamics ...
متن کاملMolecular Diagnosis of Vector-Borne Parasitic Diseases
Parasitic diseases represent one of the most important issues in public health. More than 20 million people are infected by diseasecausing parasites. Parasites represent a broad group of eukaryotic organisms that can cause severe disease in human populations, including malaria, leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, Schistosomiasis and Filariasis. Closely related to these parasitic diseases are geograp...
