Transmission of Ranavirus between Ectothermic Vertebrate Hosts
Transmission is an essential process that contributes to the survival of pathogens. Ranaviruses are known to infect different classes of lower vertebrates including amphibians, fishes and reptiles. Differences in the likelihood of infection among ectothermic vertebrate hosts could explain the successful yearlong persistence of ranaviruses in aquatic environments. The goal of this study was to d...
متن کاملVirulence Is Positively Selected by Transmission Success between Mammalian Hosts
Virulence, defined as damage to the host, is a trait of pathogens that evolutionary theory suggests benefits the pathogen in the "struggle for existence". Pathogens employ virulence mechanisms that contribute to disease. Central to the evolution of virulence of the infectious agents causing an array of bacterial disease is the evolutionary acquisition of type III secretion, a macromolecular com...
متن کاملCospeciation between Hosts and Symbionts:
I. Introduction Mutualistic associations between eukaryotic hosts and their microbial partners have long been an interest of ecologists and evolutionary biologists due to the importance of understanding phylogenetic congruence, coevolution, host specificity, infectivity, and maintaining the precarious balance between pathogenicity and innocuousness. Each partner has an important function in the...
متن کاملPotential Transmission of Pathogens Between Human Hosts by the Hookworm, Necator Americanus
Experimental trials are underway exploring the use of parasitic helminthes to treat autoimmune diseases. As with any experimental therapy, such trials must adequately address safety concerns associated with the treatment protocol. In the treatment protocol employed by Autoimmune Therapies, patients are inoculated intradermally with the common nematode hookworm Necator Americanus. Beyond the pot...
متن کاملRevisiting Trypanosoma rangeli Transmission Involving Susceptible and Non-Susceptible Hosts
Trypanosoma rangeli infects several triatomine and mammal species in South America. Its transmission is known to occur when a healthy insect feeds on an infected mammal or when an infected insect bites a healthy mammal. In the present study we evaluated the classic way of T. rangeli transmission started by the bite of a single infected triatomine, as well as alternative ways of circulation of t...
