• Effect of resource availability on evolution of virulence and competition in an environmentally transmitted pathogen 

  Pulkkinen, Katja; Pekkala, Nina; Ashrafi, Roghaieh; Hämäläinen, Dorrit M.; Nkembeng, Aloysius N.; Lipponen, Anssi; Hiltunen, Teppo; Valkonen, Janne; Taskinen, Jouni (Federation of European Microbiological Societies; Oxford University Press, 2018)

  Understanding ecological and epidemiological factors driving pathogen evolution in contemporary time scales is a major challenge in modern health management. Pathogens that replicate outside the hosts are subject to selection ...

• Interactive effects between diet and genotypes of host and pathogen define the severity of infection 

  Zhang, Ji; Friman, Ville-Petri; Laakso, Jouni; Mappes, Johanna (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)

  Host resistance and parasite virulence are influenced by multiple interacting factors in complex natural communities. Yet, these interactive effects are seldom studied concurrently, resulting in poor understanding of ...

• Exploring evolutionary responses to increasing temperature in an environmental opportunistic pathogen 

  Ashrafi, Roghaieh (University of Jyväskylä, 2017)

• Immunological priming in the wood tiger moth (Parasemia plantaginis) 

  Kaukoniitty, Minna (2014)

  Hyönteisiin lukeutuu monia merkittäviä tuholaisia, taudinvälittäjiä ja hyödyllisiä lajeja, minkä takia hyönteisten taudit, taudinaiheuttajat ja immuunipuolustus ovat ekologisesta, ekonomisesta ja lääketieteellisestä ...

• Interactions between two parasites of brown trout (Salmo trutta) : Consequences of preinfection 

  Gopko, Mikhail; Chowdhury, Motiur; Taskinen, Jouni (John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2018)

  Preinfection by one parasitic species may facilitate or by contrast hamper the subsequent penetration and/or establishment of other parasites in a host. The biology of interacting species, timing of preinfection, and dosage ...
