Immunogenetic diversity and haemosporidian parasitization in European bluethroats (Luscinia svecica): do diverse genes warrant fewer parasites?

Dragomir Damnjanović, Masoud Nazarizadeh, Václav Pavel…·Jan Štefka

The study examines immunogenetic diversity and haemosporidian parasitization in bluethroats, finding no significant link between genetic diversity and parasite prevalence.

Host-associated genetic differentiation in the face of ongoing gene flow: ecological speciation in a pathogenic parasite of freshwater fish

Masoud Nazarizadeh, Milena Nováková, Jakub Vlček, Jan Štefka

This study investigates genetic differentiation in a tapeworm parasite despite ongoing gene flow, identifying genomic and transcriptomic signatures of host-specific adaptation and ecological speciation.

Highly resolved genome assembly and comparative transcriptome profiling reveal genes related to developmental stages of the tapeworm Ligula intestinalis

Masoud Nazarizadeh, Milena Nováková, Marie Drábková…·Jan Štefka

This study presents the first genome assembly of Ligula intestinalis and identifies differentially expressed genes between adult worms and plerocercoid larvae, revealing genes related to reproductive development and immune evasion.
