PMID: 12770341
Male and female Tenebrio molitor act as intermediate hosts for metacestodes of the rat tapeworm, Hymenolepis diminuta. It is known that the bean-shaped accessory glands of infected males exhibit an...

. 2001 Nov;
17(8):363-8.
PMID: 11685895
Host fecundity reduction is a life-history trait that is commonly exhibited in parasitic associations. It is particularly prevalent in female invertebrate hosts that invest heavily in egg production during a...

J Exp Biol
. 2001 Oct;
204(Pt 16):2773-80.
PMID: 11683433
Many insects are able to adjust their egg production according to physiological conditions such as nutrient supply and mating success. One way in which this is achieved is by resorption...

PMID: 11520358
We report changes in the abundance of vitellogenin (Vg) mRNA, and concentration of haemolymph Vg and ovarian vitellin (Vn) in Anopheles gambiae following infection with Plasmodium yoelii nigeriensis. A parasite-induced...

. 2001 Aug;
268(1477):1749-53.
PMID: 11506690
Tenebrio molitor is an intermediate host for the rat tapeworm, Hymenolepis diminuta. Parasite oncospheres hatch in the beetle midgut and burrow through into the haemocoel, where they rapidly grow and...

Parasitology
. 2001 Jun;
122(Pt 5):491-6.
PMID: 11393821
Two studies were carried out to determine the effect of the rodent malaria Plasmodium yoelii nigeriensis on the blood feeding success of Anopheles stephensi. Initially, pairs of mice with similar...

Parasitology
. 2000 Apr;
120 ( Pt 3):313-8.
PMID: 10759089
Previous laboratory studies have indicated that tenebrionid beetles infected with Hymenolepis diminuta display behavioural alterations. These are assumed to increase the likelihood of this intermediate host being predated by the...

PMID: 10633914
Midgut proteases contribute to the success or failure of Plasmodium infection of the mosquito. This paper examines the reciprocal effect of Plasmodium yoelii nigeriensis on midgut trypsin, chymotrypsin, aminopeptidase and...
