Host extinction dynamics in a simple parasite-host interaction model.
This short article carefully formulate a simple SI model for a parasite-host interaction through the basic birth and death processes analysis. This model reveals and corrects an error in similar models studied recently by various authors. Complete mathematical investigation of this simple model shows that the host extinction dynamics can happen and the outcomes may depend on the initial conditi...
متن کاملReciprocal Natural Selection on Host-Parasite Phenotypes.
Coevolution is evolution in one species in response to selection imposed by a second species, followed by evolution in the second species in response to reciprocal selection imposed by the first species. Although reciprocal selection is a prerequisite of coevolution, it has seldom been documented in natural populations. We examined the feasibility of reciprocal selection in a simple host-parasi...
متن کاملNatural variation in the genetic architecture of a host-parasite interaction in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris.
The genetic architecture of fitness-relevant traits in natural populations is a topic that has remained almost untouched by quantitative genetics. Given the importance of parasitism for the host's fitness, we used QTL mapping to study the genetic architecture of traits relevant for host-parasite interactions in the trypanosome parasite, Crithidia bombi and its host, Bombus terrestris. The three...
متن کاملHost-parasite molecular cross-talk during the manipulative process of a host by its parasite.
Many parasite taxa are able to alter a wide range of phenotypic traits of their hosts in ways that seem to improve the parasite's chance of completing its life cycle. Host behavioural alterations are classically seen as compelling illustrations of the 'extended phenotype' concept, which suggests that parasite genes have phenotype effects on the host. The molecular mechanisms and the host-parasi...
متن کاملMapping interspecific genetic architecture in a host-parasite interaction system.
Under a hypothesis that the host-parasite interaction system is governed by genome-for-genome interaction, we propose a genetic model that integrates genetic information from both the host and parasite genomes. The model can be used for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) conferring the interaction between host and parasite and detecting interactions among these QTL. A one-dimensional genome-...
