Journal ArticleDOI
Global warming and temperature-mediated increases in cercarial emergence in trematode parasites.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the small increases in air and water temperature forecast by many climate models will not only influence the geographical distribution of some diseases, but may also promote the proliferation of their infective stages in many ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change effects on trematodiases, with emphasis on zoonotic fascioliasis and schistosomiasis.
TL;DR: The present review shows that trematodes, similarly as other helminths presenting larval stages living freely in the environment and/or larval Stage parasitic in invertebrates easily affected by climate change as arthropods and molluscs as intermediate hosts, may be largely more susceptible to climate change impact than those helminthiases in whose life cycle such phases are absent or reduced to a minimum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host-parasite evolution: general principles and avian models.
TL;DR: edited by D.H. Clayton and J. Moore, Oxford University Press, 1997.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of climate change on animal and zoonotic helminthiases.
TL;DR: It is concluded that helminth diseases should be listed among the infectious diseases with which special care should be taken because of climate change in the future, especially in temperate and colder northern latitudes and in areas of high altitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional genomic characterization of neoblast-like stem cells in larval Schistosoma mansoni
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that this proliferative larval cell population (germinal cells) shares some molecular signatures with stem cells from diverse organisms, in particular neoblasts of planarians (free-living relatives of schistosomes), and suggests that an ancient stem cell-based developmental program may have enabled the evolution of the complex life cycle of parasitic flatworms.

Journal ArticleDOI
The use of ecological terms in parasitology (report of an ad hoc committee of the American Society of Parasitologists)
TL;DR: In this paper, an ad hoc committee was established to establish working definitions of a few terms used and misused by parasitological ecologists as a guide for authors submitting papers to The Journal of Parasitology.

Evolution of sex
TL;DR: Understanding Homosexuality : Its Biological and Psychological Bases by J. A. Loraine.
Book
Evolutionary Ecology of Parasites
TL;DR: That lexity is an inherent and avoidable outcome of natural systems is a major theme of this book and I have little doubt that it will help improve countless diverse, human agendas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual reproduction as an adaptation to resist parasites (a review)
TL;DR: P parasite coevolution is superior to previous models of the evolution of sex by supporting the stability of sex under the following challenging conditions: very low fecundity, realistic patterns of genotype fitness and changing environment, and frequent mutation to parthenogenesis, even while sex pays the full 2-fold cost.
