The mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor, is currently considered as a pest when infesting
stored grains or grain products. However, mealworms are now being promoted as a …

The infection process of many diseases can be divided into series of steps, each one
required to successfully complete the parasite's life and transmission cycle. This approach …

In invertebrates, the cuticle is the first and major protective barrier against predators and
pathogen infections. While immune responses and behavioral defenses are also known to …

Host age is one of the most striking differences among hosts within most populations, but
there is very little data on how age‐dependent effects impact ecological and evolutionary …

Informed and effective management of emerging infectious diseases can be improved by a
clear understanding of host–pathogen–environment interactions. Impacts of the seasonal …
