    Oil beetle larvae #smell like #flowers to manipulate #bees
    The European oil beetle's parasitic larvae emit a floral #scent that attracts wild bees. This allows the larvae to sneak into the bees' nests

  4. Engineered #hookworms could one day dispense #drugs from inside your gut
    Researchers have #geneticallymodified the intestinal #parasites to make an antitoxin
    Using #CRISPR #geneediting, scientists engineered hookworms that live in the human gut to make an #antibody against deadly toxin
    Eventually, small numbers of hookworms may secrete drugs or other substances into people’s bloodstreams to treat a wide variety of diseases from allergies to obesity

    L'extractivisme dans toute sa splendeur. La valorisation des parasites doit cesser. 😡

    👉 La grande majorité des patrons hors TPE sont des parasites et servent en priorité des parasites.

  7. Two things I try to avoid are jellyfish🪼 parasite 🪱. Naturally, jellyfish have their own parasites (for maximum creepiness). But the thing is, those parasites don't stay in the jellyfish; they are just a step in their life cycle. 🧪🌊

  12. Thousands of cyclosporiasis cases across 34+ US states this summer — and just when the CDC traced it to lettuce, the lead turned out to be a false positive. 🥬🔬

    The real source? Still unknown.

  14. Behold the jackal food. Rather than using photosynthesis to make food, this parasite siphons nutrients from host plants. The corpse-like stench of its fruit attracts jackals & other carnivores... but how does it taste? Its texture & flavor have been compared to that of a potato!

  18. When organisms colonize new environments, they can experience release from previous parasites. Bolnick et al. use an experiment to track how this release leads to large fluctuations in infection rates, as well as immune evolution.

  20. Shitty times: "Cyclosporiasis is an illness caused by a parasitic single-celled life-form called Cyclospora cayetanensis, which can spread through food or water. The illness isn’t typically life-threatening, but a cyclospora infection can lead to severe diarrhea and “sometimes explosive bowel movements,” according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

  26. #DailyMitePic: These aphids on a dill plant are being parasitized by larval parasitengone mites *and* also being hunted by an adult _Allothrombium_ sumo mite, elegantly illustrating the typical Parasitengona lifestyle.

    It's possible the little ones are larval _Allothrombium_. I may collect some and see if I can rear them to adulthood so they can be identified.
