Research Co-infection dynamics: one infection prohibits another in wild gourds An effective rodent Hepatitis C model Fugal infections alter ant behavior without invading the brain Parasite traits have a greater impact on infection dynamics than parasite intensity Student Profile: Not all viruses are bad! Parasite manipulation without the parasite Temperature alters Plasmodium blocking by Wolbachia A single virus gene turns gypsy moths into zombies Plasmodium berghei infection is enhanced by a Wolbachia strain in mosquitoes Within-host control of malaria dynamics Live life or die trying? The balance between being social & staying healthy during epidemics. Intensity of stress, rather than frequency or duration alone, impact immune response in lizards Understanding within-host dynamics opens new strategies for control Variable temperatures increase amphibian disease risk Testosterone increases parasite intensities in red grouse Pollen that can increase the risk of fungal infection Zombie ants controlled by parasitic fungal infection Pathogens may influence hibernation patterns Leeches may transmit pathogen to amphibians Effects of parasite communities on willow ptarmigan population dynamics Bacterial wilt and herbivory Malaria research at Penn State Virus-host interactions influence vector behavior Viruses sometimes save their hosts, rather than killing them
