Marr, A. K. et al. Leishmania donovani infection causes distinct epigenetic DNA methylation changes in host macrophages.
Changes in host population sizes can lead to marked shifts in community composition and ecosystem functioning3,4,6.
Park, S.-J. et al. Dynamic changes in host gene expression associated with H5N8 avian influenza virus infection in mice.
In addition to the appearance of vsRNAs during infection, we saw a number of specific changes in host miRNA profiles.
Layered LixCoO2 has the richest phase diagram with ordering and staging transitions, and changes in host structure at low lithium contents.
In this study, we show that changes in host plant use between distinct D. mojavensis populations are accompanied by changes in the olfactory system.
Here, after reviewing the ecological importance of manipulative parasites, we consider potential causes and consequences of changes in host manipulation by parasites driven by environmental modifications.
We begin with a simple non-linear model for the transmission of infection that incorporates primary and secondary infection, together with changes in host susceptibility.
Based on this, it has been proposed that viruses manipulate hosts through multifunctional proteins that facilitate exploitation of host resources and elicitation of specific changes in host phenotypes.
Students have become savvier in choosing overseas schools and are often aware of changes in host countries' educational reputations, fees, immigration policies and even political climates.
