The complete mitochondrial genome of Anoplocephala perfoliata, the first representative for the family Anoplocephalidae [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Mitochondrial (mt) genome sequences are widely used to understand phylogenetic relationships among parasites. However, no complete mt genome sequence is available in the family Anoplocephalidae to date.

Distribution and Molecular Diversity of Paranoplocephala kalelai (Tenora, Haukisalmi & Henttonen, 1985) Tenora, Murai & Vaucher, 1986 in Voles (Rodentia: Myodes) in Eurasia

Diversity, 2022
Cestodes Paranoplocephala kalelai, which parasitizes in the small intestine of Myodes voles and is distributed in northern Fennoscandia, was found in six habitats in the Asian part of Russia and eastern Kazakhstan, which indicates a wider distribution of

First Molecular Characterization of the Zoonotic Parasite Balantioides coli in Brachyteles hypoxanthus Wied, 1820 (Primate: Atelidae) in Brazil. [PDF]

J Med Primatol
ABSTRACT Fecal samples from seven individuals kept in semi‐captivity in Minas Gerais were subjected to microscopic and molecular parasitological techniques. Balantioides coli was identified in all samples with a predominance of an atypical variant. This is the first molecular characterization of B. coli in Brachyteles hypoxanthus in Brazil.

Genetic identification of gastrointestinal parasites in the world's most endangered ungulate, the hirola (Beatragus hunteri). [PDF]

Vet Rec
Abstract Background The hirola (Beatragus hunteri) is the world's most critically endangered antelope. Its parasitic fauna has never been genetically characterised, raising questions about its possible role in the species' population decline. This study aimed to assess the presence of gastrointestinal parasites in hirolas and their transmission ...

Molecular Identification of Selected Cervid Helminths in Supplementarily Fed European Bison Population. [PDF]

J Parasitol Res
Background: Wild animals often suffer from infections with multiple species of parasites simultaneously. The exchange of parasites between different host species is common in nature and often involves intermediate hosts or sharing space such as pastures or watering holes.

Living with chronic infection: Persistent immunomodulation during avirulent haemoparasitic infection in a wild rodent

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1197-1210, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Apicomplexans are a protozoan phylum of obligate parasites which may be highly virulent during acute infections, but may also persist as chronic infections which appear to have little fitness cost. Babesia microti is an apicomplexan haemoparasite that, in immunocompromised individuals, can cause severe, potentially fatal disease.

Gastrointestinal Parasites of the Ethiopian Rock Hyrax (Procavia capensis, Pallas, 1766) in the North East Region of Ghana

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Wildlife may serve as potential reservoirs and intermediate or accidental hosts of zoonotic pathogens due to their interactions with human beings. For the first time in Ghana, we report extempore the gastrointestinal parasites of three Ethiopian rock hyraxes captured in September 2021.

Adaptive division of growth and development between hosts in helminths with two‐host life cycles

Evolution, Volume 76, Issue 9, Page 1971-1985, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Parasitic worms (helminths) with complex life cycles divide growth and development between successive hosts. Using data from 597 species of acanthocephalans, cestodes, and nematodes with two‐host life cycles, we found that helminths with larger intermediate hosts were more likely to infect larger, endothermic definitive hosts, although some ...

Cholinesterase activity inThysaniezia giardi(Cestoda, Anoplocephalidae) [PDF]

Veterinary Quarterly, 1985
The activity of cholinesterase was determined separately in the mature and gravid proglottids of Thysaniezia giardi and its significance is discussed. The mean values of the enzyme in mature and gravid proglottids were respectively 225.60 +/- 28.55 and 75.00 +/- 11.64 units per gram of wet weight.
