Viability of Baylisascaris procyonis Eggs
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011 Infection with Baylisascaris procyonis roundworms is rare but often fatal and typically affects children. We attempted to determine parameters of viability and methods of inactivating the eggs of these roundworms.

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022 Island biogeography can promote rapid diversification and speciation via geographic isolation and novel selection pressures. These same factors can threaten the persistence of island endemics by limiting gene flow and suitable habitat.
