Geographic variation in the determinants of ectoparasite faunas’ species richness: fleas and gamasid mites parasitic on small mammals from 6 biogeographic realms [PDF]
We investigated the effects of body mass, geographic range size, the within-range richness of host assemblages (diversity field) and the habitat breadth of small mammalian hosts from 6 biogeographic realms on the species richness of their flea and ...

Variation in innate immunity in relation to ectoparasite load, age and season: a field experiment in great tits (Parus major) [PDF]
It remains largely unknown which factors affect the innate immune responses of free-living birds. Nevertheless, the degree of innate immunity may play a crucial role in an individual's survival as it procures the first defence against pathogens.

Arthropod Ectoparasites Have Potential to Bind SARS-CoV-2 via ACE
Coronavirus-like organisms have been previously identified in Arthropod ectoparasites (such as ticks and unfed cat flea). Yet, the question regarding the possible role of these arthropods as SARS-CoV-2 passive/biological transmission vectors is still ...

Trophic structure in a seabird host-parasite food web: insights from stable isotope analyses. [PDF]
Ecological studies on food webs rarely include parasites, partly due to the complexity and dimensionality of host-parasite interaction networks. Multiple co-occurring parasites can show different feeding strategies and thus lead to complex and cryptic ...
