Sexual reproduction produces new parasite lines in the definitive host that spread through the population via clonal reproduction (Su et al., 2006; Grigg and Sundar, 2009). The combination of genetic out-crossing followed by clonal amplification of a single strain through self-mating, may be a ...

Sporulation (the formation of spores) is one method of asexual reproduction among protozoa and certain plants. A spore is a reproductive cell that produces a new organism without fertilization. In certain lower forms of animals (e.g. hydra), and in yeasts, budding is a common form of ...
Sexual reproduction and the dispersal of the resultant larval stage control the connectivity of populations and maintains the genetic diversity in octocorals as in all benthic invertebrates (Jackson 1986). Until the early 1970s, most of the knowledge on the reproduction of octocorals had been based ...
Malaria is a mosquito-borne parasitic disease caused by apicomplexan protozoa of the genus Plasmodium. Human malaria is caused by five Plasmodium spp. and has a dramatic health and economic impact worldwide. The most lethal of these, Plasmodium falciparum, is responsible for approximately 500,000 ...

Three common systemic human fungal pathogens — Cryptococcus neoformans, Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus — have retained all the machinery to engage in sexual reproduction, and yet their populations are often clonal with limited evidence for recombination. Striking parallels have emerged with fo...

Sexual reproduction (conjugation) in protozoan ciliates is induced by specific cell-cell interactions between cells of complementary mating types. The ancestral ciliate Blepharisma japonicum has two mating types, I and II. The substances that act as signaling molecules in this extracellular interaction ...
To guarantee mating success, processes during sexual reproduction are highly synchronized and regulated. This review focuses on sex pheromones of algae that play a key role in these processes. Especially, the diversity of sexual strategies as well as of the compounds involved are the focus of this...
