Khokhlova I, Fielden L, Degen A, Krasnov B
J Evol Biol
. 2012 Jul;
25(10):2005-2013.
PMID: 22817653
We studied reproductive performance in two flea species (Parapulex chephrenis and Xenopsylla ramesis) exploiting either a principal or one of eight auxiliary host species. We predicted that fleas would produce...

Arbiv A, Khokhlova I, Ovadia O, Novoplansky A, Krasnov B
J Evol Biol
. 2012 May;
25(6):1140-8.
PMID: 22587845
Using experimentally induced disruptive selection, we tested two hypotheses regarding the evolution of specialization in parasites. The 'trade-off' hypothesis suggests that adaptation to a specific host may come at the...

Khokhlova I, Hovhanyan A, Degen A, Krasnov B
Parasitology
. 2010 Jul;
137(13):1925-35.
PMID: 20619065
We studied the effect of density of larvae on pre-imaginal development in 2 flea species (Xenopsylla conformis and Xenopsylla ramesis) parasitic on 2 desert rodent species (Dipodillus dasyurus, adult body...

Krasnov B, Shenbrot G, Khokhlova I, Hawlena H, Degen A
Parasitology
. 2008 Jun;
135(9):1133-41.
PMID: 18561869
This study set out to determine whether the sex ratio of fleas collected from host bodies is a reliable indicator of sex ratio in the entire flea population. To answer...

Krasnov B, Hovhanyan A, Khokhlova I, Degen A
Med Vet Entomol
. 2008 May;
22(2):156-66.
PMID: 18498616
We tested the hypothesis of negative fitness-density relationships and predicted that an increase in the density of parent fleas would result in lower survival rates and longer development time of...

Krasnov B, Hovhanyan A, Khokhlova I, Degen A
Parasitology
. 2007 Apr;
134(Pt 10):1379-86.
PMID: 17445332
We studied the effect of density on feeding success of 2 fleas, Xenopsylla conformis and Xenopsylla ramesis, when exploiting rodents Meriones crassus and Gerbillus dasyurus. We tested 2 alternative hypotheses:...

Hawlena H, Khokhlova I, Abramsky Z, Krasnov B
Parasitology
. 2006 May;
133(Pt 2):187-93.
PMID: 16677443
Parasitism by the flea Synosternus cleopatrae does not affect the body mass of its principal rodent host, Gerbillus andersoni under natural infestation levels. We hypothesized that the lack of negative...

Krasnov B, Morand S, Mouillot D, Shenbrot G, Khokhlova I, Poulin R
Parasitology
. 2006 Mar;
133(Pt 1):81-8.
PMID: 16566852
Ecological specialization is hypothesized to result from the exploitation of predictable resource bases. For parasitic organisms, one prediction is that parasites of large-bodied host species, which tend to be long-lived,...

Parasitology
. 2005 Dec;
131(Pt 6):825-37.
PMID: 16336736
We investigated variation in the abundance-prevalence relationships of fleas among 17 different flea-host associations as well as among different species of hosts and fleas in the Negev desert. We explored...

Parasitology
. 2005 Sep;
131(Pt 4):557-68.
PMID: 16174421
Different parasite taxa exploit different host resources and are often unlikely to interact directly. It is unclear, however, whether the diversity of any given parasite taxon is indirectly influenced by...
