Journal ArticleDOI

Babesia and its hosts: adaptation to long-lasting interactions as a way to achieve efficient transmission.

TL;DR: The main adaptations lead to long-lasting interactions which result in the induction of two reservoirs: in the vertebrate host during low long-term parasitemia and throughout the life cycle of the tick host as a result of transovarial and transstadial transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary changes in symbiont community structure in ticks.

TL;DR: Examination of 81 tick species shows that some Coxiella‐LE symbioses are evolutionarily stable with an ancient acquisition followed by codiversification as observed in ticks belonging to the Rhipicephalus genus, however, many other Coxiellas-LE symbionts are characterized by low evolutionary stability with frequent host shifts and extinction events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Origin and genetic diversity of Western European populations of the potato cyst nematode (Globodera pallida) inferred from mitochondrial sequences and microsatellite loci.

TL;DR: The origin of Western European populations are identified with high accuracy from a single restricted area in the extreme south of Peru, located between the north shore of the Lake Titicaca and Cusco, with important consequences for the control of this pest and the development of quarantine measures.
