Host body mass, not sex, affects ectoparasite loads in yellow-necked mouse Apodemus flavicollis
We investigated the presence and potential causes of sex bias in ectoparasite infestations in the yellow-necked mouse Apodemus flavicollis . We...

Impact of host sex and age on the diversity of endoparasites and structure of individual-based host-parasite networks in nyalas (Tragelaphus angasii Angas) from three game reserves in KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa
In recent years, numerous studies have examined the effect of host sex and age on the structure of parasite communities in several host taxa under...

Distinct cervical tissue-adherent and luminal microbiome communities correlate with mucosal host gene expression and protein levels in Kenyan sex workers
BackgroundThe majority of studies characterizing female genital tract microbiota have focused on luminal organisms, while the presence and impact of...

The influence of the host sex on parasitemia of parasite lineages belonging to Haemoproteus majoris in a natural bird community
Immunological capability shows a sexual dimorphism in diverse animal species. Females are generally more immunocompetent than males, leading to the...

Host sex disparity and viral genotype dependence of the glycosylation level of small Hepatitis B surface protein in patients with HBeAg-positive chronic Hepatitis B
BackgroundHepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) consists of six components of large/middle/small HBs proteins (L/M/SHBs) with non-glycosylated (ng)- or...

Sex Difference in Amebiasis
Infection with the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica is much more likely to cause severe, focal liver damage in males than females, although...

Systemic Oncosphere: Host Endocrine System
Host endocrine system is a complicated network of glands, that precisely secrete hormones, chemicals or peptides to regulate most, if not all host...

Egg provisioning explains the penetrance of symbiont-mediated sex allocation distortion in haplodiploids
Maternally transmitted symbionts such as Wolbachia can alter sex allocation in haplodiploid arthropods. By biasing population sex ratios towards...

Sex and Gender Differences in Tuberculosis Pathogenesis and Treatment Outcomes
Tuberculosis remains a daunting public health concern in many countries of the world. A consistent observation in the global epidemiology of...

Genetics of Sex Differences in Immunity
Women have a stronger immune response and a higher frequency of most autoimmune diseases than men. While much of the difference between men and women...

Host–Microbe Interactions and Infectious Disease
Infectious disease is defined as the damage that occurs in a host because of a host–microbe interaction, where damage is the disruption of the normal...

Gastrointestinal nematodes in two galliform birds from South Africa: patterns associated with host sex and age
Parasite ecology has recently focused on elucidating patterns and processes that shape helminth communities in avian hosts. However, helminths...

Effects of Sex Steroids on Innate and Adaptive Immunity
Estrogens and androgens are classically recognized as reproductive sex steroid hormones because of their well-documented effects on reproductive...

Does the body size, sex, and reproductive modes of leaf litter anurans affect the diversity of parasites?
We describe the composition of endoparasites associated with leaf litter anurans from an Atlantic Forest area, in southeastern Brazil. We tested if...

Researchers' sex/gender identity influences how sex/gender question is investigated in neuroscience: an example from an OHBM meeting
Gender inequality and diversity in STEM is a challenging field of research. Although the relation between the sex/gender of the researcher and the...

Sex-Linked Differences in Malaria Risk Across the Lifespan
Despite the high burden of malaria worldwide, there is surprisingly scarce research on sex-based differences in malaria outside of pregnancy. A more...

13C-Stable isotope resolved metabolomics uncovers dynamic biochemical landscape of gut microbiome-host organ communications in mice
BackgroundGut microbiome metabolites are important modulators of host health and disease. However, the overall metabolic potential of the gut...
