Antihelmintic treatment alters the parasite community in a wild mouse host [PDF]

, 2013
Individuals are often co-infected with several parasite species, yet the consequences of drug treatment on the dynamics of parasite communities in wild populations have rarely been measured.

Zoonotic risks in urban areas: Prevalence of helminth parasites in urban populations of Lissachatina fulica in Sarawak, Malaysia

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 13, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Background The giant African land snail (Lissachatina fulica), an invasive species with significant medical, agricultural and economic importance, is abundant in urban areas of Kota Samarahan, Sarawak. The proximity between humans and the snail may increase the risk of pathogen transmission.

Host–Parasite Interaction Networks of Helminths of Sigmodontine Rodents in Two Different Areas of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
Two helminth‐rodent networks were analyzed for two distinct areas. Network modularity, nestedness, and degree of specialization were calculated for each network. Higher network modularity than nestedness and high network specialization were observed in both networks, suggesting functional and/or taxonomic specialization between helminth species and ...

Cestodiasis: A Narrative Review of Neglected Zoonotic Cestodes from Wild Rodents

Journal of Parasite Science
Zoonotic cestodes associated with wild rodents constitute an underrecognized component of neglected zoonotic diseases, particularly in resource-limited settings where ecological and sanitary conditions facilitate transmission.

Are all hosts created equal? Partitioning host species contributions to parasite persistence in multihost communities [PDF]

, 2015
Many parasites circulate endemically within communities of multiple host species. To understand disease persistence within these communities, it is essential to know the contribution each host species makes to parasite transmission and maintenance ...
