Marine Parasite Biogeography Mirrors Host Patterns Across Latitude, Area, and Diversity
New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.Parasites are integral components of biodiversity, yet they remain poorly represented in large‐scale biogeographic theory. In this study, we test whether marine parasites follow three macroecological patterns established for free‐living taxa, namely that parasite species richness: (1) scales positively with area (both host body size and geographic area)

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2026.Cephalopods play crucial roles in marine ecosystems due to their diverse and indispensable contributions to trophic webs. However, parasitological research on cephalopods remains limited in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ), despite the commercial significance of certain squid species and the zoonotic potential of the parasites within them. This study aimed to

Comparative Prevalence and Intensity of Endoparasites in a Dynamic Boreal Ungulate Community
DiversitySurveillance of endoparasites at the host community level is rarely reported for ungulates. Yet, changes in the composition and abundance of species in ungulate assemblages, coupled with environmental and climate change, bring into focus the need for ...

Gastrointestinal Helminthofauna of Mediterranean Elasmobranchs
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringElasmobranchs (Chondrichthyes, Elasmobranchii) are exposed to a variety of gastrointestinal parasites acquired through the ingestion of infected prey. An increasing amount of evidence suggests the usefulness of parasitological information to elucidate ...

Aspects carbohydrate metabolism in the plerocercoid of Schistocephalus solidus.
, 1977 PhDThree spined sticklebacks infected with Schistocephalus solidus plerocercoids were used for in-vivo experiments to determine the relative distribution of 14C-labelled sugars (D-glucose and 3-0-M D-glucose) in fish and worm tissues.
