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...

Hybridisation between host races broadens the host range of offspring in Eotetranychus asiaticus (Acari: Tetranychidae)
Host adaptation in herbivorous arthropods is one of the first steps to sympatric speciation, and spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) are useful model...
