Current Understanding and Future Prospects of Host Selection, Acceptance, Discrimination, and Regulation of Phorid Fly Parasitoids That Attack Ants by Kaitlyn A. Mathis, Stacy M. Philpott

“…Phorid fly parasitoids (Diptera: Phoridae) have evolved a diverse array of cues used to successfully parasitize their ant hosts. Successful parasitism often involves (a) host habitat location, (b) host location, (c) host acceptance, (d) host discrimination, and (e) host regulation. …”

A deterministic model of schistosomiasis with spatial structure by Fabio Augusto Milner, Ruijun Zhao

“…In this paper, the authors establish a model with spatial structurethat characterizes the density change of parasites following the flush-away oflarvae. It is shown that the reproductive number, which is an indicator ofprevalence of parasitism, is a decreasing function of the river current velocity.Moreover, numerical simulations suggest that the mean parasite load is lowwhen the velocity of river current flow is sufficiently high.…”
