Angiostrongylus spp. in the Americas: geographical and chronological distribution of definitive hosts versus disease reports [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2018 BACKGROUND Angiostrongyliasis is an infection caused by nematode worms of the genus Angiostrongylus. The adult worms inhabit the pulmonary arteries, heart, bronchioles of the lung, or mesenteric arteries of the caecum of definitive host. Of a total of 23

Two different strategies of host manipulation allow parasites to persist in intermediate–definitive host systems [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2018 AbstractTrophically transmitted parasites start their development in an intermediate host, before they finish the development in their definitive host when the definitive host preys on the intermediate host. In intermediate–definitive host systems, two strategies of host manipulation have been evolved: increasing the rate of transmission to the ...
