Non-specific manipulation of gammarid behaviour by P. minutus parasite enhances their predation by definitive bird hosts. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Trophically-transmitted parasites often change the phenotype of their intermediate hosts in ways that increase their vulnerability to definitive hosts, hence favouring transmission.

COMPARATIVE-MORPHOLOGICAL AND ECOLOGICAL AND BIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF CESTODA ERINACEOLEPIS ERINACEI (GMELIN, 1789) GULYAEV ET IRZHAVSKY COMB.N

open access: yesЮг России: экология, развитие, 2014
The article gives the historical background of the tribe and clan. We consider a diagnosis of the genus. Given distribution of the species, its definitive and intermediate hosts, life cycle, the localization of the cestode in the host's body.

Life cycle truncation in Digenea, a case study of Neophasis spp. (Acanthocolpidae)

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021
Truncated life cycles may emerge in digeneans if the second intermediate host is eliminated, and the first intermediate host, the mollusc, takes up its role.

A survey of Angiostrongylus species in definitive hosts in Queensland

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015
Despite the recent sporadic reports of angiostrongyliasis in humans, dogs and wildlife in eastern Australia there has been no systematic study to explore the epidemiology of Angiostrongylus spp. in definitive and intermediate hosts in the region. Little is known about the epidemiology of Angiostrongylus species in the definitive host in southeast ...

Cytauxzoon felis: An Overview

open access: yesPathogens, 2023
Cytauxzoon felis is a tick-transmitted, obligate, hemoprotozoal, piroplasmid pathogen of felids and the causative agent of cytauxzoonosis. It has a complex life cycle which includes a tick as its definitive host and a felid as its intermediate host ...

Molecular Evidence of the Role of the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) in the Epidemiology of Ungulate-Related Sarcocystis Species in Croatia, Lithuania, and Portugal

open access: yesAnimals
Sarcocystis spp. (Apicomplexa: Sarcocystidae) are globally distributed protozoan parasites with an obligatory two-host prey–predator life cycle involving intermediate (IHs) and definitive hosts (DHs).

Morphology, biology and taxonomy of Dendritobilharzia loossi Skrjabin, 1924 (Trematoda: Bilharziellidae), a parasite of Pelecanus onocrotalus (Pelecanidae) and Anas plathyrinchos (Anatidae)

open access: yesParasite, 2011
Life cycles of Dendritobilharzia loossi Skrjabin, 1924, a parasite of waterbirds, and its morphobiological traits are studied and described. Mollusks Anisus spirorbis, the infection rate of which in natural environments reaches 1.3-1.9%, were recorded as

Apodemus agrarius as a new definitive host for Neodiplostomum seoulense [PDF]

open access: yesThe Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2007
A total of 1,496 rodents and insectivores were live-trapped at Yeoncheon-gun (n = 351), Paju-shi (804), and Pocheon-gun (343), Gyeonggi-do (Province), and examined for intestinal helminths, including Neodiplostomum seoulense, seasonally from December 2004 to September 2005. Six species of rodents, including Apodemus agrarius (1,366), Mus musculus (32),

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...
