" Some of the predicted proteins for these new genes appear to be similar to known immuno-modulator proteins, regulators of the immune system, suggesting that they are involved in deactivating the host's immune system to ensure the parasite remains undetected.

While some early forensic research supported the latter theory, forensic evidence from a study in 2010 found the parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which causes malaria, in the skeletal remains of Francesco I, strongly bolstering the infection theory and the credibility of the official documents.

First used in English 1539, the word parasite comes from the Medieval French parasite, from the Latin parasitus, the latinisation of the Greek παράσιτος ( parasitos ), " one who eats at the table of another " and that from παρά ( para ), " beside, by " + σῖτος ( sitos ), " wheat ".

A heteroecious parasite is one that requires at least two hosts.

In addition to targeting risk factors and transmission, control and prevention strategies of cystic echinococcosis also aim at intervening at certain points of the parasite ’ s life cycle, in particular, the infection of hosts ( i. e. especially dogs ) that reside with or near humans.

The species is known to serve as host for at least 51 species of parasites, most of which are roundworms ( nematodes ), flatworms ( digeneans ) and tapeworms ( cestodes ) carried internally ; a single species of louse is its only known external parasite.

Philosopher Murray Rothbard wrote that " no being has a right to live, unbidden, as a parasite within or upon some person's body " and that therefore the woman is entitled to eject the fetus from her body at any time.

That view is based largely on the view that the young larvae begin with small exactions like any parasite, then proceed to the point where they eat at such a rate that they might as well be predators.

Because sunfish had not been kept in captivity on a large scale before, the staff at Monterey Bay were forced to innovate and create their own methods for capture, feeding, and parasite control.

The parasite Leucocytozoon toddi can be passed from parent to nestling at the nest, possibly because of the number of birds sharing a small space, thus allowing transmission.

Crescent Crater, which at first glance appears as a parasite on Lassen's northeast flank, has been more heavily glaciated and thus is older.

A group of X Parasites manage to recover and use components of Samus's infected Power Suit to transform into the SA-X, a form of the parasite that partially mimics Samus at full power and possesses the Ice Beam that can exploit Samus's weakness to cold temperatures.

Work performed in the laboratory of Professor Anne Cooke at the University of Cambridge showed that mice of the NOD strain ( which spontaneously develop type 1 diabetes mellitus ) had a significantly reduced incidence of this disease when infected with the helminth parasite Schistosoma mansoni.

But it appears that the gene number of the single-celled parasite T. vaginalis is, at minimum, on par with that of its host H. sapiens.

He continues to hold a grudge against Martin ( and Martin still stands strong at his hatred of Marvin ) throughout " Body-Swappers " until Martin gives him the majority of the credit for getting rid of the parasite and M. O. M.

In a study of 1039 camels in 33 herds in central Somalia, T. evansi was a prevalent parasite ( 1. 7 %- 56. 4 % in blood smears ).

Another proposal suggested using a parasite Macchi C. 202 coupled with a SM. 79 or A. R. 4 in an arrangement similar to the German Mistel, but with the fighter remotely guiding the bomber to its target.

The first visible parasite developmental stages ( blastocercariae ) are detectable after approximately 75 days post-exposure and metacercariae are common by 90 days post-exposure at 16 ° C in the lab.

Leaves of the Japanese Camellia ( C. japonica ) are suceptable to the fungal parasite Mycelia sterile ( see below for the significance ).

Modalities include: diet, parasite control, vitamin A, riboflavin ( B < sub > 2 </ sub >), vitamin C ( for absorption ), folate, vitamin B < sub > 12 </ sub > and multivitamin-multimineral supplements, with or without iron ; potentially avoiding the use of iron only supplements.

Superb Fairywrens also commonly play host to the brood parasite Horsfield's Bronze Cuckoo ( Chrysococcyx basalis ) and, less commonly, the Shining Bronze Cuckoo ( C. lucidus ) and Fan-tailed Cuckoo ( Cacomantis flabelliformis ).

In a study, it was found that 155 species of mammals were infected by C. parvum ( including scimitar oryx ), but it was not clear whether it was only this parasite or some other.

The core of the parasite fauna comprises two species of trematode metacercariae: C. concavum and Diplostomum spathaceum.

A serious consequence of the liver damage caused by fascioliasis is that latent Clostridium novyi spores can be activated by the low oxygen conditions in the damaged tracts the parasite forms in the liver ; this can lead to " black disease ", caused by Clostridium novyi type B or immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia ( IMHA ) leading to haemoglobinuria caused by C. novyi type D.

Because C. exigua is found in snappers from the Eastern Pacific and is shipped worldwide for commercial consumption, contamination of the parasite is inevitable.

The availability of genome sequences provides a new opportunity for scientists to learn more about the evolution and biochemical capacity of these parasite.

Until recently, however, Chagas disease was considered a contraindication for the procedure, since the heart damage could recur as the parasite was expected to seize the opportunity provided by the immunosuppression that follows surgery.

Diderot's intention in writing the dialogue is disputed ; whether it is merely a satire on contemporary manners, or a reduction of the theory of self-interest to an absurdity, or the application of irony to the ethics of ordinary convention, or a mere setting for a discussion about music, or a vigorous dramatic sketch of a parasite and a human original.

He continued arguing how problematic it was establishing the relation between " normal ", " nonfiction or standard discourse " and " fiction ", defined as its " parasite, “ for part of the most originary essence of the latter is to allow fiction, the simulacrum, parasitism, to take place-and in so doing to " de-essentialize " itself as it were ”.

However, early humans were not able to compensate for the loss of warmth and protection provided by body hair with clothing, and no other mammal lost body hair to reduce parasite loads.

A parasite may evolve to become less harmful for its host or a host may evolve to cope with the unavoidable presence of a parasite -- to the point that the parasite's absence causes the host harm.

This poses considerable problems for students of parasite ecology: the use of parametric statistics should be avoided.

Nonetheless, different types of parasite assemblages have been recognized in host individuals and populations, and many of the patterns observed for free-living organisms are also pervasive among parasite assemblages.

Parasites employ numerous strategies for getting from one host to another, a process sometimes referred to as parasite transmission or colonization.
