The gastrointestinal nematodes of plains and Grevy's zebras: Phylogenetic relationships and host specificity [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021 Equids are chronically infected with parasitic strongyle nematodes. There is a rich literature on horse strongyles, but they are difficult to identify morphologically and genetic studies on strongyles infecting other equid species are few, hampering ...

Experimental removal of nematode parasites increases growth, sprint speed, and mating success in brown anole lizards. [PDF]
J Exp Zool A Ecol Integr Physiol, 2022 Nematode parasites are costly to juvenile brown anoles, Anolis sagrei, in terms of growth. Nematode parasite removal increased over winter growth in snout‐vent length for juvenile brown anoles. Abstract Parasites interact with nearly all free‐living organisms and can impose substantial fitness costs by reducing host survival, mating success, and ...

Parasites & Vectors, 2022 Background The genus Cissophyllus (Cosmocercoidea: Kathlaniidae) is a rare group of nematodes parasitic in turtles and lizards. To date, only four species have been reported in Asia and North America. However, most of them are inadequately described. The
