Subspecies divergence, hybridisation and the spatial environment shape phylosymbiosis in the microbiome of house mice

The paper examines how host subspecies divergence, hybridisation, and spatial environment influence microbiome composition in house mice, finding that host genetics shape microbiome similarity more than hybridisation.

Coupling between tolerance and resistance differs between related Eimeria parasite species

The paper examines the relationship between resistance and tolerance in mice infected with two Eimeria species, finding a negative correlation for one species and no correlation for the other.

Widespread introgression of the Mus musculus musculus Y chromosome in Central Europe

The paper investigates Y chromosome introgression in house mice across Central Europe and finds it is widespread and not restricted to a single haplotype.

Detection and quantification of house mouse Eimeria at the species level - challenges and solutions for the assessment of Coccidia in wildlife

The paper develops methods to detect and quantify Eimeria species in house mice, finding higher prevalence of E. falciformis and E. ferrisi in dense populations.

Generalist Eimeria species in rodents: multilocus analyses indicate inadequate resolution of established markers

The paper investigates whether molecular markers like COI and 18S accurately classify Eimeria species in rodents, finding insufficient resolution and suggesting the need for multilocus genotyping.

Intensity of infection with intracellular Eimeria spp. and pinworms is reduced in hybrid mice compared to parental subspecies

The study finds reduced parasite intensity in hybrid mice compared to parental subspecies for Eimeria and pinworms, but no evidence of lower infection probability or health impacts.

Eimeria falciformis BayerHaberkorn1970 and novel wild derived isolates from house mice: differences in parasite lifecycle, pathogenicity and host immune reactions

This study compares a laboratory isolate of Eimeria falciformis with two wild-derived isolates, finding differences in lifecycle progression, pathogenicity, and host immune responses.

A novel non-invasive method to detect gut barrier related changes during a gastrointestinal nematode infection.

This paper develops a non-invasive method to detect gut barrier changes during gastrointestinal nematode infection by measuring RELM-β expression in exfoliated epithelial cells from feces.
