Microsporidian coinfection reduces fitness of a fungal pathogen due to rapid host mortality

M. K. Dziuba, K. M. McIntire, E. S. Davenport, E. Baird, C. Huerta, R. Jaye, F. E. Corcoran, P. McCreadie, T. Nelson, M. A. Duffy

The paper shows that coinfection with two pathogens reduces host survival but limits the spread of the more virulent pathogen, suggesting potential population-level benefits.

Virulence and transmission biology of the widespread, ecologically important pathogen of zooplankton, Spirobacillus cienkowskii

N. Wale, C. B. Freimark, J. Ramirez, A. Kafri, M. K. Dziuba, R. Bilich, M. A. Duffy

This study experimentally quantifies the virulence and transmission dynamics of Spirobacillus cienkowskii, revealing it as highly virulent and requiring host death for horizontal transmission, with potential vertical transmission via Daphnia egg cases.

Phylogeny, morphology, virulence, ecology, and host range of Ordospora pajunii (Ordosporidae), a microsporidian symbiont of Daphnia spp.

M. K. Dziuba, K. M. McIntire, K. Seto, E. S. Davenport, M. A. Rogalski, C. D. Gowler, E. Baird, M. Vaandrager, C. Huerta, R. Jaye, F. E. Corcoran, A. Withrow, S. Ahrendt, A. Salamov, M. Nolan, , M. A. Duffy

This paper investigates the impact of Ordospora pajunii on Daphnia hosts, finding low virulence and context-dependent effects, and identifies it as a valuable model for studying mutualism-parasitism shifts.

Transgenerational pathogen effects: Maternal pathogen exposure reduces offspring fitness

K. M. McIntire, M. K. Dziuba, E. B. Haywood, M. L. Robertson, M. Vaandrager, E. Baird, F. Corcoran, T. Nelson, M. H. Cortez, M. A. Duffy

This study investigates transgenerational effects of a microsporidian pathogen, finding negative impacts on offspring fitness without immune priming or tolerance.

Temperature modifies trait-mediated infection outcomes in a Daphnia-fungal parasite system

S.-J. Sun, M. K. Dziuba, R. N. Jaye, M. A. Duffy

The paper investigates how temperature affects host-parasite interactions in a Daphnia-fungal system, finding that higher temperatures alter host traits and infection outcomes.
