Pathology associated with larval Eustrongylides sp. (Nematoda: Dioctophymatoidea) infection in Galaxias maculatus (Actinopterygii: Galaxiidae) from Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]
Helminth infections within tissues tend to be subjected to a host response that can include encapsulation and melanization to isolate the parasite. The effectiveness of this response depends on the host species. During a survey of parasites of the native

Disproportionate infection by Eustrongylides sp. (Nematoda: Dioctophymatoidea: Dioctophymatidae) in the imperiled Harter's watersnake, Nerodia harteri [PDF]
Describing host-parasite dynamics in natural systems is a priority for hosts of conservation concern. Harter's watersnake (Nerodia harteri ssp.) is one such species, endemic to north-central Texas and impacted by habitat alteration, low genetic diversity,

Morphological characterization of Eustrongylides sp. larvae (Nematoda, Dioctophymatoidea) parasite of Rhinella marina (Amphibia: Bufonidae) from Eastern Amazonia [PDF]
Absctract Eustrongylides spp. nematodes have birds as final hosts and uses other vertebrates as intermediate/paratenic host (fish, amphibians and reptiles) and have zoonotic potential. In amphibians, the larvae may be located in the subcutaneous tissues,

A Molecular View of the Superfamily Dioctophymatoidea (Nematoda)
Monophyly of the superfamily Dioctophyma- toidea was assessed based on analyses of DNA sequence variation among 3 of 4 constituent genera (5 species). Represented is the first molecular phylogenetic evaluation of the Dioctophymatoidea using maximum parsimony, maxi- mum likelihood, and Bayesian inference of 18S nuclear DNA (786 base-pair (bp) segment ...

Horizontal gene transfer provides insights into the deep evolutionary history and biology of Trichinella. [PDF]
Evolution involves temporal changes in the characteristics of a species that are subsequently propagated or rejected through natural selection. In the case of parasites, host switching also plays a prominent role in the evolutionary process.
