Population biology of multispecies helminth infection: interspecific interactions and parasite distribution.
Despite evidence for the existence of interspecific interactions between helminth species, there has been no theoretical exploration of their effect on the distribution of the parasite species in a host population. We use a deterministic model for the accumulation and loss of adult worms of 2 interacting helminth species to motivate an individual-based stochastic model. The mean worm burden and...
متن کاملPopulation biology of multispecies helminth infection: competition and coexistence.
The role that interspecific interactions play in shaping parasite communities is uncertain. To date, models of competition between helminth species have assumed that interaction occurs through parasite-induced host death. To our knowledge, there has been no theoretical exploration of other forms of competition. We examine models in which competition acts at the point of establishment within the...
متن کاملInterspecific Bacterial Interactions are Reflected in Multispecies Biofilm Spatial Organization
Interspecies interactions are essential for the persistence and development of any kind of complex community, and microbial biofilms are no exception. Multispecies biofilms are structured and spatially defined communities that have received much attention due to their omnipresence in natural environments. Species residing in these complex bacterial communities usually interact both intra- and i...
متن کاملHelminth C-type lectins and host-parasite interactions.
C-type lectins (C-TLs) are a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins intimately involved in diverse processes including vertebrate immune cell signalling and trafficking, activation of innate immunity in both vertebrates and invertebrates, and venom-induced haemostasis. Helminth C-TLs sharing sequence and structural similarity with mammalian immune cell lectins have recently been identified fro...
متن کاملMolecular Biology of Host-Parasite Interactions
This volume contains the papers presented at the first UCLA Symposium on Molecular Biology of Host-Parasite Interactions, held in January 1983. Given the rapid growth of the study of molecular parasitology, this symposium offers a timely attempt to integrate related disciplines. While some of the works were previously published in the Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, the book organizes the man...
