In the general spectrum of host-parasite relationships, there is considerable parasite-induced host variability resulting in perturbed host physiology, biochemistry, and developmental behavior (8, 21, 22). There is a wide range of speculation that the parasite has the capacity to modulate or regulate host systems (8, 10, 23). It is clear that the C. sonorensis polydnavirus induces developmental arrest in H. virescens larva (18, 24,... 

Professor Filhr discussed penetration, translocation and distribution of fungicides in plants. These aspects of fungicide performance are often critical in determining the success of a systemic fungicide in a particular type of application. The ability to penetrate into plant tissue and move while retaining activity therein is the primary basis for the superiority of the newer systemic fungicides over the older surface protectants. Internal therapeu-tants may also influence the host physiology and as a consequence, be assisted by the natural defense system of the host. 

Platform to characterize and model the production of food-derived molecules (e.g., metabolites) in the gut, which enter the enterohepatic circulation and thus affect the host physiology. 

Platforms to characterize and model the effects of food-derived molecules on host physiology at the cellular, tissue, as well as organismal levels. 

Sensitive platform to characterize the host physiology and health status.

In addition to the benefits of modification of host physiology and greater ant mutualism, McEvoy (1979) suggests two additional driving forces for evolving group formation in treehoppers increased effectiveness of maternal care and enhancement of aposematic coloration in distasteful species. The latter is probably also the cause of grouping in many of the Hemiptera discussed. 

However, the fundamental mechanisms by which the gut microbiome impacts such a diverse range of host physiology still remain unclear. For instance, how does...
