Down below, on sidewalks, in fallen leaves, and across the forest floor, a covert invasion is taking place. Ant colonies, revered and studied for their complex collective behaviors, are being infiltrated by tiny organisms called myrmecophiles. Using incredibly sophisticated tact…
"Pulitzer Prize-winner Bert Hölldobler and behavioral ecologist Christina Kwapich reveal a universe of behavioral mechanisms whereby invaders known as myrmecophiles break into ant colonies. By decoding ants' sophisticated communication systems, these invaders disguise themselves…

A fascinating examination of socially parasitic invaders, from butterflies to bacteria, that survive and thrive by exploiting the communication systems of ant colonies. Down below, on sidewalks, in fallen leaves, and across the forest floor, a covert invasion is taking place. An…
"As in the first edition, the intention is to write a book that provides a concise, student-friendly account of parasites and parasite relationships that is supported by case studies and suggestions for student projects. The case studies will be topical and include examples such…
Protozoan zoonoses, such Chagas disease and leishmaniasis, remain endemic in large parts of the world, exacerbating social inequity and contributing heavily to the global burden of infectious disease. Novel protozoa species which have emerged from wildlife to humans in the recen…
There have been increasing reports of Ancylostoma caninum infections that do not clear after multiple treatments in different dog breeds in the United States over the past few years. The cause of the lack of clearance of these infections in the majority of cases was determined t…
Since the dawn of time, multicellular life has been exposed to a wide range of microbes. A share of them will not interfere with the host development or daily homeostasis, some might even contribute to it and potentially become essential, such as gut microbiota. However, a small…
One of the single most extraordinary examples of host-parasite co-evolution is shown by the isopod family Cymothoidae, of which all species are obligate parasites of fishes, including many commercially important fish species. Cymothoids are one of the most diverse isopod groups,…
Two different types of sludges from two popular sewage treatment systems were used in this study; namely, anaerobic pond sludge from a wastewater stabilisation pond system and filter pressed primary sludge from a primary sewage treatment plant. Under Egyptian conditions, Ascaris…
The parasite-stress theory of values and sociality offers a compelling evolutionary explanation as to why and how there is such wide variation and diversity of cultures and their underlying value and belief systems. Its authors propose that temporal and geographical variation in…
State-space modelling is a powerful tool to study ecological systems. The direct inclusion of uncertainty, unification of models and data, and ability to model unobserved, hidden states increases our knowledge about the environment and provides new ecological insights. I extend …
Leishmania are protozoan parasites responsible for the range of infections collectively known as leishmaniasis. Currently, drugs represent the only course of treatment. The nitroaromatic prodrugs are a class of agents that are used clinically used to treat trypanosomatid disease…
