Optical trapping reveals propulsion forces, power generation and motility efficiency of the unicellular parasites Trypanosoma brucei brucei [PDF]

, 2014
Unicellular parasites have developed sophisticated swimming mechanisms to survive in a wide range of environments. Cell motility of African trypanosomes, parasites responsible for fatal illness in humans and animals, is crucial both in the insect vector ...

BLOOD PARASITES IN BIRDS FROM MADAGASCAR [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2009
Madagascar has long been recognized for its unique and diverse biota. In particular, significant effort has been made to establish baseline population data to better conserve the endemic avifauna. During field expeditions between 1993 and 2004, birds were mist-netted at 11 different sites, at elevations from 60 m to 2,050 m above sea level.

Season and host-community composition inside roosts may affect host-specificity of bat flies

Scientific Reports
Bat flies are one of the most abundant ectoparasites of bats, showing remarkable morphological adaptations to the parasitic habit, while the relationship with their hosts is characterized by a high level of specificity.

Combination therapy counteracts the enhanced transmission of drug-resistant malaria parasites to mosquitoes.

, 2004
Malaria parasites carrying genes conferring resistance to antimalarials are thought to have a selective advantage which leads to higher rates of transmissibility from the drug-treated host.

East-to-west dispersal of bird-associated ixodid ticks in the northern Palaearctic: Review of already reported tick species according to longitudinal migratory avian hosts and first evidence on the genetic connectedness of Ixodes apronophorus between Siberia and Europe

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases
Birds are long-known as important disseminators of ixodid ticks, in which context mostly their latitudinal, south-to-north migration is considered. However, several bird species that occur in the eastern part of the northern Palaearctic are known to ...

Prevalence of blood parasites in seabirds - a review [PDF]

Frontiers in Zoology, 2011
Introduction: While blood parasites are common in many birds in the wild, some groups seem to be much less affected. Seabirds, in particular, have often been reported free from blood parasites, even in the presence of potential vectors. Results: From a literature review of hemosporidian prevalence in seabirds, we collated a dataset of 60 species, in ...

Hyalomma rufipes of Asian origin transported to Europe by a migrant bird

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Hyalomma rufipes is one of the most epidemiologically important ticks in Africa and the Middle East. It is regularly transported by migratory birds and there are chances that these ticks may become sources for the emergence of resident populations in the

Under the light: high prevalence of haemoparasites in lizards (Reptilia: Squamata) from Central Amazonia revealed by microscopy [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Blood samples from 330 lizards of 19 species were collected to investigate the occurrence of haemoparasites. Samplings were performed in areas of upland (terra-firme) forest adjacent to Manaus municipality, Amazonas, Brazil. Blood parasites were detected
