Cysts of the parasite *Toxoplasma gondii* (which form in the brain and muscles) do not contain a single form of the parasite, as previously thought, but up to five different forms. The subpopulations have different developmental trajectories. This information may facilitate the development of more effective treatments.
Summary: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260127112124.htm

Toxoplasma gondii #brain cysts, previously believed to contain a single uniform type of dormant #parasite , actually harbor at least five distinct subtypes with specialized roles in survival, spread, and reactivation.

Kleptopredation (Parasitology 🧬)
Kleptopredation is a form of feeding in which a predator eats prey after the prey has hunted, consuming both the prey and its recent meal. It is a specific type of kleptoparasitism. The term was first used in an article published in the journal Biology Letters. Kleptopredation has been observed in nudibranchs, who may target hydroid polyps that have recently eaten zooplankton. In s...

Necromeny (Parasitology 🧬)
Necromeny is a symbiotic relationship where an animal infects a host and waits inside its body until its death, at which point it develops and completes its life-cycle on the cadaver, feeding on the decaying matter and the subsequent bacterial growth. As the necromenic animal benefits from the relationship while the host is unharmed, it is an example of commensal...

It can only be hoped that gynecologists, oncologists, psychiatrists, etc. are knowledgeable in their fields. Concerning Parasitology, they all too often display abject ignorance.

Burrinjuckia (Parasitology 🧬)
Burrinjuckia is an ichnogenus of bioclaustrations. Burrinjuckia includes outgrowths of the brachiopod's secondary shell with a hollow interior in the mantle cavity of a brachiopod. Burrinjuckia was probably a parasite. They have a stratigraphic range from the Late Ordovician to the Devonian. The earliest Burrinjuckia species B. clitam...

Parasite-stress theory (Parasitology 🧬)
Parasite-stress theory, or pathogen-stress theory, is a theory of human evolution proposing that parasites and diseases encountered by a species shape the development of species' values and qualities, proposed by researchers Corey Fincher and Randy Thornhill. The differences in how parasites and diseases stress people's development is what leads to di...

Parasitoid (Parasitology 🧬)
In evolutionary ecology, a parasitoid is an organism that lives in close association with its host at the host's expense, eventually resulting in the death of the host. Parasitoidism is one of six major evolutionary strategies within parasitism, distinguished by the fatal prognosis for the host, which makes the strategy close to predation. Among parasitoids, str...

Facultative parasite (Parasitology 🧬)
A facultative parasite is an organism that may resort to parasitic activity, but does not absolutely rely on any host for completion of its life cycle. Examples of facultative parasitism occur among many species of fungi, such as family members of the genus Armillaria. Armillaria species do parasitise living trees, but if the tree dies, whether as a conseque...

The sylvatic cycle, also enzootic or sylvatic transmission cycle, is a portion of the natural transmission cycle of a pathogen.

Humans are usually an incidental or dead-end ho...

Eichler's rule (Biodiversity 🦗)
Eichler's rule is one of several coevolutionary rules which states that parasites tend to be highly specific to their hosts, and thus it seems reasonable to expect a positive co-variation between the taxonomic richness of hosts and that of their parasites.

Parasite load (Parasitology 🧬)
Parasite load is a measure of the number and virulence of the parasites that a host organism harbours. Quantitative parasitology deals with measures to quantify parasite loads in samples of hosts and to make statistical comparisons of parasitism across host samples. In evolutionary biology, parasite load has important implications for sexual selection and ...
