Virulence 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 کاملGene expression differences underlying genotype-by-genotype specificity in a host-parasite system.
In many systems, host-parasite evolutionary dynamics have led to the emergence and maintenance of diverse parasite and host genotypes within the same population. Genotypes vary in key attributes: Parasite genotypes vary in ability to infect, host genotypes vary in susceptibility, and infection outcome is frequently the result of both parties' genotypic identities. These host-parasite genotype-b...
متن کاملFetal Vegf Genotype is More Important for Abortion Risk than Mother Genotype
Background VEGF gene has been reported to be related with many diseases and recurrent pregnancy loss in various studies. VEGF polymorphisms are risk factors for pregnancy losses, and generally studies report only women’s genetic analyses. To evaluate the association between VEGF A C405G, C460T, C936T and C2578A polymorphisms and spontaneous abortion, we studied the genotypes of spontaneously a...
متن کاملCloning of the unculturable parasite Pasteuria ramosa and its Daphnia host reveals extreme genotype-genotype interactions.
The degree of specificity in host-parasite interactions has important implications for ecology and evolution. Unfortunately, specificity can be difficult to determine when parasites cannot be cultured. In such cases, studies often use isolates of unknown genetic composition, which may lead to an underestimation of specificity. We obtained the first clones of the unculturable bacterium Pasteuria...
متن کاملHepatitis B virus genotype B has an earlier emergence of lamivudine resistance than genotype C.
BACKGROUND Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype B and C seem not to affect the therapeutic response to lamivudine (3TC). Whether a given genotype has an earlier emergence of 3TC resistance remains unclear. We thus conducted this study to elucidate the association of HBV genotype with the emergence of 3TC-resistant strains in Taiwanese patients. METHODS Forty chronic hepatitis B patients who devel...
