Studies in diverse biological systems have indicated that host–parasite co-evolution is
responsible for the extraordinary genetic diversity seen in some genomic regions, such as …

Scale-up of malaria control interventions has resulted in a substantial decline in global
malaria morbidity and mortality. Despite this achievement, there is evidence that current …

Some people are more attractive to mosquitoes than others, but the mechanistic basis of this
phenomenon is poorly understood. We tested mosquito attraction to human skin odor and …

Mosquitoes use plant sugars and vertebrate blood as nutritional resources. When searching
for blood hosts, some mosquitoes express preferential behavior for selected species. Here …

Parasites and infectious diseases are everywhere and represent some of the most potent
forces sha** the natural world. They affect almost every aspect imaginable in the life of …

Malaria remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the tropics, with Plasmodium
falciparum responsible for the majority of the disease burden and P. vivax being the …

The advancement of science and technology has led to the recent development of highly
sensitive pathogen biosensing techniques. The effective treatment of pathogen infections …

Pathogens and parasites can induce changes in host or vector behavior that enhance their
transmission. In plant systems, such effects are largely restricted to vectors, because they …

Vector‐borne pathogens and parasites can induce changes in the phenotypes of their hosts
that influence the frequency and nature of host–vector interactions and hence transmission …

Previous studies have shown that vector-borne pathogens can alter the phenotypes of their
hosts and vectors in ways that influence the frequency and nature of interactions between …
