To further characterize this virus–host interaction, we analysed small RNA profiles in male and female nematodes, as RNAi responses are critical to fight virus infection in many invertebrate organisms. A previous study has shown an intact small interfering RNA (siRNA) pathway with 5′ triphosphate ...
particularly with the development of omic-based strategies. Whilst extensive efforts have been made in the past to develop therapeutic and prophylactic control strategies for trematode parasites, only the therapeutic anthelmintic approach can be regarded as usable in ...

An argument in favor of hominin impact can be found in Faith et al.´s own data, which clearly show an abrupt decline of large carnivore taxa at 1.8 Ma, precisely the age in which our analysis documents strong carnivoran adaptations by hominins consuming prey that is typical of larger ...

Radical shifts to specialized ecological niches change selection regimes often resulting in fundamental genomic and phenotypic transformation1,2. Selection on traits adapted to the ancestral niche will relax and positive selection will favor adaptations to new ecological settings and matching life histories3...
similar host proteins. These differences were largely associated with nematode-specific insertions14,29. Despite the high level of conservation, the number of CNKs among all four nematodes was very low (34%), suggesting that different adaptations distinguish nematodes with distinct modes of existence....
Many parasites which live in the blood or intracellularly have closely adapted to their environment. These adaptations are often biochemically unique and offer vulnerable targets (enzymes, receptors) for specific antiparasitic drugs. 3.1.3. Biomembranes All living cells are surrounded by a phospholipid ...
