弓形虫是怎样操纵宿主行为的?
How does Toxoplasma gondii manipulate host behavior?
它能在啮齿动物脑中形成囊肿并改变神经递质,降低其对猫气味的恐惧,从而增加被猫吃掉、完成生命周期的概率。
It forms brain cysts that alter neurotransmitters, reducing rodents' fear of cat odor to complete its life cycle by being eaten.

寄生蜂是怎样控制宿主发育的?
How do parasitoid wasps control host development?
雌蜂把卵产进毛虫体内,孵化的幼虫取食宿主组织并释放调控因子抑制其免疫与变态,最终破体而出。
They lay eggs inside caterpillars; larvae consume host tissue while suppressing its immunity and metamorphosis, then burst out.

为什么疟原虫对人类的威胁至今仍在?
Why does Plasmodium remain a major threat to humans?
它生命周期复杂、容易对药物产生抗药性,传播媒介蚊子又难以根除,加上疫苗保护有限。
Its complex life cycle, drug resistance, persistent mosquito vectors, and limited vaccine coverage sustain the threat.

菟丝子全身黄黄的、没叶子也没根,它靠什么活下来、还缠死别的植物?
Dodder is yellowish with no leaves or roots—what keeps it alive, and why does it choke other plants?
菟丝子是寄生植物:它用吸器刺入寄主茎秆,直接偷取水分和养分,自己几乎不光合。寄主被不断“抽血”而衰弱,所以田间见到要赶紧清除。
Dodder is a parasite: its haustoria pierce the host stem and steal water and nutrients directly, doing almost no photosynthesis itself. The drained host weakens—why farmers remove it fast.

寄生和捕食有什么本质区别?
What is the essential difference between parasitism and predation?
寄生通常长期依附并缓慢取食同一宿主,不立即杀死它;捕食则快速杀死并吃掉猎物。
Parasites feed slowly from a living host without immediately killing it, whereas predators kill and consume prey quickly.
