Microbial evolution and transitions along the parasite ... - Nature
2021年4月19日 · Parasitic and mutualistic microbial symbioses exist widely in nature. These interactions occur when microorganisms (that is, bacteria, fungi and viruses) take up residence in or on animals or...
Principles of Parasitism: Host–Parasite Interactions - PMC
Targeting and penetration of cells is governed by the interactions of microbial surface proteins that may engage host cell molecules that function as receptors for the microbial ligands. The entry of malarial parasites into erythrocytes is a good example, and the nature of the erythrocyte receptors used by different malarial parasite species ...
Microbial parasites make cyanobacteria blooms less of a
2018年2月7日 · Here we investigate the role of microbial parasitism (viruses of bacteria, phytoplankton and cyanobacteria, and parasitic chytrids on cyanobacteria) on the dynamics of trophic pathways and food...
The role of hyperparasitism in microbial pathogen ecology and …
2016年1月19日 · In this minireview we argue that the diversity and dynamics of micro-hyperparasites are an important component of natural host–pathogen systems. We use the current literature from a handful of key...
Host-Pathogen Interactions: Basic Concepts of Microbial …
Recently, we reviewed the concepts of virulence and pathogenicity and described how the definitions for these terms changed over the years as microbiologists tried to find ways to convey that microbial pathogenesis reflects an interaction between two entities, host and pathogen (7).
Parasite microbiome project: Grand challenges - PLOS
2019年10月10日 · There is an increasing recognition of the potential for host- and parasite-associated microbiota―endo- and/or ectosymbiotic archaea, bacteria, viruses, and micro-eukaryotes―to influence and shape host–parasite interactions [10].
Mucosal microbial parasites/symbionts in health and disease: …
Microbial parasites adapted to thrive at mammalian mucosal surfaces have evolved multiple times from phylogenetically distant lineages into various extracellular and intracellular life styles. Their symbiotic relationships can range from commensalism to parasitism and …
Editorial: Roles and mechanisms of parasitism in aquatic microbial ...
2015年5月12日 · Our research topic on the roles and mechanisms of parasitism in aquatic microbial communities should be of broad interest, given that there are probably more parasitic species than free-living ones (Windsor, 1998), a hypothesis increasingly supported by next generation sequencing technologies of microbial taxa (Sime-Ngando and Niquil, 2011). We ...
Microbial protection favors parasite tolerance and alters host-parasite …
2022年4月11日 · We found that microbial protection during coevolution resulted in the evolution of host mortality tolerance—higher survival following parasite infection—and in parasites adapting to microbial defenses.
Human Intestinal Microbiota: Interaction Between Parasites and …
2017年11月1日 · Intestinal microbes can protect against infection by pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Hence, the maintenance of homeostasis between the gut microbiota and the rest of the body is crucial for health, with dysbiosis affecting disease.
