for use for several hours that day while the upgrade is in progress. Deposits to DukeSpace
will be disabled on Monday December 11, so no new items are to be added to the repository
while the upgrade is in progress. Everything should be back to normal by the end of
day, December 12.

Behavioural ecology and infectious disease: implications for conservation of biodiversity.
(Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences, 2019-09)Behaviour underpins interactions among conspecifics and between species, with consequences for the transmission of disease-causing parasites. Because many parasites lead to declines in population size and increased risk ... -
Cell type- and species-specific host responses to Toxoplasma gondii and its near relatives.
(International journal for parasitology, 2020-05-11)Toxoplasma gondii is remarkably unique in its ability to successfully infect vertebrate hosts from multiple phyla and can successfully infect most cells within these organisms. The infection outcome in each of these species ... -
Interaction of Cryptococcus neoformans Rim101 and protein kinase A regulates capsule.
(PLoS Pathog, 2010-02-19)Cryptococcus neoformans is a prevalent human fungal pathogen that must survive within various tissues in order to establish a human infection. We have identified the C. neoformans Rim101 transcription factor, a highly conserved ... -
Live Imaging of Host-Parasite Interactions in a Zebrafish Infection Model Reveals Cryptococcal Determinants of Virulence and Central Nervous System Invasion.
(MBio, 2015-09-29)UNLABELLED: The human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans is capable of infecting a broad range of hosts, from invertebrates like amoebas and nematodes to standard vertebrate models such as mice and rabbits. Here we ... -
Predictions of primate-parasite coextinction.
(Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences, 2021-11)Future biodiversity loss threatens the integrity of complex ecological associations, including among hosts and parasites. Almost half of primate species are threatened with extinction, and the loss of threatened hosts could ... -
Schistosome-induced cholangiocyte proliferation and osteopontin secretion correlate with fibrosis and portal hypertension in human and murine schistosomiasis mansoni.
(Clin Sci (Lond), 2015-11)Schistosomiasis is a major cause of portal hypertension worldwide. It associates with portal fibrosis that develops during chronic infection. The mechanisms by which the pathogen evokes these host responses remain unclear. ... -
Solution NMR studies of the plant peptide hormone CEP inform function.
(FEBS letters, 2013-12)The C-terminally Encoded Peptide (CEP) family of regulatory peptides controls root development in vascular plants. Here, we present the first NMR structures of CEP. We show that root-knot nematode (RKN: Meloidogyne spp.) ... -
The changing ecology of primate parasites: Insights from wild-captive comparisons.
(American journal of primatology, 2019-07-02)Host movements, including migrations or range expansions, are known to influence parasite communities. Transitions to captivity-a rarely studied yet widespread human-driven host movement-can also change parasite communities, ...
