Metabolism and immune responses of striped hamsters to ectoparasite challenges: insights from transcriptomic analysis
This study uncovered the dynamic changes in metabolism and immune responses of striped hamsters parasitized by <i>Xenopsylla cheopis</i>. Hosts adjust their physiological and immune states to optimize survival strategies during different ectoparasite stages, enhancing our understanding of host-ectoparasite interactions. This also paves the way for further research into how hosts regulate complex biological processes in response to ectoparasite challenges.
