The paper investigates how Pseudomonas bacteria affect aphid-vectored virus outbreaks in pea crops, showing that their impact depends on parasitoid efficiency in locating aphids.

This study models malaria parasite development and sequestration in vivo using time series data from Plasmodium chabaudi, showing parasites adjust their development to host rhythms at a cost to multiplication rates.

This study shows that adaptive immunity imposes a survival-reproduction tradeoff on malaria parasites, limiting their ability to evolve faster within-host multiplication.

This study identifies optimal environmental cues for malaria parasites to maximize reproductive success by analyzing how different cues affect transmission investment strategies.

The paper identifies biases in estimating multiplication rates of pathogenic organisms due to developmental sampling and synchrony patterns, showing overestimation in diverse species.

This paper develops a method to quantify developmental synchrony in malaria parasites that accounts for population dynamics and validates it using simulated data.
