Exploring the Parasite Biodiversity in Climbing Perch (<i>Anabas testudineus</i>) in Buriram, Thailand: Morphological-Based Characterization. [PDF]

ScientificWorldJournal
Anabas testudineus is an amphibious freshwater fish species native to Thailand, which is afflicted by protozoan and metazoan infections. This study was aimed at identifying the presence of parasites in A. testudineus from Thung Lam Natural Reservoir in Buriram Province, Thailand, between November 2022 and January 2023.

Zoonotic Parasites in Marmosets (Callithrix Spp.) From Southern Brazil: Insights From a One Health Perspective. [PDF]

J Med Primatol
ABSTRACT Background Currently, six species of Callithrix are frequently observed in anthropized and degraded environments in different regions of Brazil. This occupation favors interactions with humans and increases the risk of infection by parasites with zoonotic potential.

Novel gene arrangement in the mitochondrial genome of Aspersentis megarhynchus (Acanthocephala, Echinorhynchida, Heteracanthocephalidae), and its phylogenetic implications [PDF]

Parasite
The Heteracanthocephalidae Petrochenko, 1956 is a rare family of acanthocephalans mainly parasitic in fishes. The pattern of mitogenomic evolution of the Heteracanthocephalidae is still unknown, and the phylogenetic relationships of the ...

Ovarian balls (Floating ovaries) of Rhadinorhynchus niloticus Mohamadain, 1989 from the Nile perch Lates niloticus Linnaeus, 1758; an electron microscope study [PDF]

Helminthologia
In Acanthocephala, the ovarian balls (floating ovaries) are distinctive structures found suspended in the fluid-filled metasoma of females and are responsible for egg production and maturation.

Prevalence and diversity of Acanthocephala in stream-dwelling amphipods (Gammarus fossarum) around an urban area in the eastern Alpine foothills [PDF]

Parasitology
Population dynamics of aquatic parasites respond to factors like host availability, habitat age and quality. Amphipods are intermediate hosts for Acanthocephala, a widespread group of parasitic worms. Acanthocephalan infections of amphipods can easily be

First insight into metal binding proteins from the de novo transcriptome of acanthocephalan parasite Dentitruncus truttae [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Acanthocephala are parasites increasingly used as bioindicators of environmental quality due to their ability to effectively accumulate metals. However, the mechanisms of metal homeostasis in them remain unclear as there has been only one genomic study ...

Morphology, performance and attachment function in Corynosoma spp. (Acanthocephala) [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Functional inference on the attachment of acanthocephalans has generally been drawn directly from morphology. However, performance of structures is often non-intuitive and context-dependent, thus performance analysis should be included whenever possible ...
