Noninvasive Methods Unveil the Trophic Transmission of the Tapeworm Ligula intestinalis in Gull-Billed Terns. [PDF]
Using both copromicroscopic (Mini‐FLOTAC) and molecular (qPCR) techniques, we detected and quantified the macroparasite Ligula intestinalis in Gull‐billed Terns for the first time. Phylogenetic analyses revealed genetic similarities among parasite isolates from birds (definitive hosts) and fish prey (intermediate hosts), suggesting local infection from
