Acanthocephala of Arkansas, Including New Host and Geographic Distribution Records from Fishes [PDF]

, 2016
Little is known about the spiny- or thorny-headed worms (Phylum Acanthocephala) of Arkansas and there are no summaries on the acanthocephalans of the state. Here, we provide a checklist of the 22 acanthocephalans that occur in Arkansas’ vertebrates based

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

Journal of Medical Primatology, Volume 54, Issue 5, October 2025.
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.

A new definitive host for Moniliformis cestodiformis (Acanthocephala: Moniliformidae): first report of a naturally infected European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus)

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2023
European hedgehogs, Erinaceus europaeus (Linnaeus, 1758), are small mammals found in western Europe and also in parts of northern Europe. They can be seen in rural, suburban and urban areas, but are usually found in grassland with edge habitats.

Antagonistic Rewiring and Turnover Patterns in a Neotropical Fish–Parasite Metanetwork

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Integrating beta‐diversity and network analyses is an emerging approach for understanding the spatial structure of species communities. For instance, although the presence of hosts affects parasite species distribution, environmental factors can either restrict or promote the occurrence of certain parasite species by changing the abundance of ...

Metagenomic Insights Into the Dietary Diversity of the Adaptive Radiation of Cichlid Fishes in Lake Tanganyika

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 9, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Diet specialisation is a main driver of diversification in many adaptive radiations. Therefore, identifying diet items is essential to characterise trophic specialisations and to understand the dynamics of dietary adaptations. In this study, we explored the trophic niches of 56 species from the adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes in Lake ...

New Records of Helminth Parasites in Amphibians from the South American Chaco

Zoodiversity
This study aims to identify the helminth fauna of twelve anurans species from Argentina's Dry and Humid Chaco ecoregions. We collected one hundred and fifty-two specimens belonging to the species Dendropsophus nanus (n = 17), Scinax nasicus (n = 15 ...

Causes of mortality and morbidity in the endangered southern brown bandicoot (Isoodon obesulus obesulus)

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 3, Page 138-148, March 2025.
The southern brown bandicoot (Isoodon obesulus obesulus) is a small, endangered, Australian, ground‐dwelling marsupial. Apart from isolated necropsy reports, there has not been a systematic investigation into the health and causes of death for this species.

The Ribosomal Operon Database: A Full‐Length rDNA Operon Database Derived From Genome Assemblies

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Current rDNA reference sequence databases are tailored towards shorter DNA markers, such as parts of the 16/18S marker or the internally transcribed spacer (ITS) region. However, due to advances in long‐read DNA sequencing technologies, longer stretches of the rDNA operon are increasingly used in environmental sequencing studies to increase ...

Helminth parasites of the levantine frog (Pelophylax bedriagae Camerano, 1882) from the western part of Turkey

Helminthologia, 2015
Fifty-four Pelophylax bedriagae (Levantine Frog) from Turkey (İzmir and Manisa Provinces) were examined for helminth parasites. The frogs were collected between 2012 and 2014 years. Eight species of helminth parasites were recorded: 3 species of Nematoda
