DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8658
Abstract: Abstract Parasite–host interactions can drive periodic population dynamics when parasites overexploit host populations. The timing of host seasonal activity, or host phenology, determines the frequency and demographic impact of parasite–host interactions, which may govern whether… read more here.

An encrusting kleptoparasite-host interaction from the early Cambrian
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Nature Communications"
DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-16332-3
Abstract: Parasite–host systems are pervasive in nature but are extremely difficult to convincingly identify in the fossil record. Here we report quantitative evidence of parasitism in the form of a unique, enduring life association between tube-dwelling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jxb/erab518
Abstract: Tensile tests and analysis of fracture surface roughness revealed that the mechanical bonding strength of mistletoe–host interfaces is age-independent. Cracks initiate along the interface at local strains of about 30%. read more here.

Ecological consequences of parasite host shifts under changing environments: More than a change of partner
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13295
Abstract: Parasitic plants, among many other parasitic organisms, are shifting in their geographic distribution in response to global change, establishing novel interactions with susceptible but previously unexposed host plants. Projections of future species assemblages in increasingly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1744-7917.12823
Abstract: Symbiotic microbes play a crucial role in regulating parasite–host interactions; however, the role of bacterial associates in parasite–host interactions requires elucidation. In this study, we showed that, instead of introducing numerous symbiotic bacteria, dispersal of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.14062
Abstract: Abstract The relationships between avian brood parasites and their hosts are widely recognised as model systems for studying coevolution. However, while most brood parasites are known to parasitise multiple species of host and hosts are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12870-021-02861-6
Abstract: Background Monochasma savatieri is a medicinal root hemiparasitic herb that extracts water and nutrients from the host plant via a haustorium. M. savatieri exhibits an enhanced growth after the establishment of parasite-host associations, but little… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2020.606033
Abstract: Recent studies of liver stage malaria parasite-host interactions have provided exciting new insights on the cross-talk between parasite and its mammalian (predominantly rodent) host. We review the latest state of the art and and zoom… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2021.641924
Abstract: Parasitic plants live in intimate physical connection with other plants serving as their hosts. These host plants provide the inorganic and organic compounds that the parasites need for their propagation. The uptake of the macromolecular… read more here.
