Distribution and Infestation of Gamasid Mite Androlaelaps fahrenholzi (Haemolaelaps glasgowi) on Small Mammals Across Five Provincial Regions of Southwest China

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Being an ectoparasitic species of gamasid mite, Androlaelaps fahrenholzi (Haemolaelaps glasgowi) can serve as the potential vector of haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and some other zoonotic diseases. This study reported the distribution and

Geographic variation in the determinants of ectoparasite faunas’ species richness: fleas and gamasid mites parasitic on small mammals from 6 biogeographic realms

Parasitology
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 ...

Balaenophilus manatorum in Debilitated and Bycatch-Derived Loggerhead Sea Turtles Caretta caretta from Northwestern Adriatic Sea

Veterinary Sciences, 2023
Balenophilus manatorum (Copepoda: Harpaticoida) is one of the few components of the epibiontic fauna of Caretta caretta that show a “true” parasitic association with their host.

Ectoparasite Prevalences of Grouper Fish (Epinephelus fuscogutatus x Epinephelus polyphekadion) Cultured in Floating Net Cages

Ilmu Kelautan, 2020
Monitoring the health of the reared fish in a floating net cage (FNC) is often conducted by examining their ectoparasites. This study determines ectoparasite prevalences of grouper fish (Epinephelus fuscogutatus x E. polyphekadion).

Evaluation of efficacy of a drug based on fipronil, ivermectin, and pyriproxyfen against ecto- and endoparasitic invasions of dogs and cats

Regulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems
Ecto- and endoparasitic invasions of dogs and cats are treated using drugs based on fipronil, ivermectin, and pyriproxyfen. That is why our objective was performing a field study to measure the efficacy of a complex drug with different mechanisms of the ...

Repeated Cross-Sectional Survey of Ectoparasites in Sheep from Central Tunisia: Does Low Prevalence Indicate Good Hygiene or Resistance to Ectoparasites?

Animals
Sheep ectoparasites such as chewing lice, fleas and ticks are serious constraints to sheep productivity and are the cause of skin lesions in animals that decrease their market value. This study aims at investigating the ectoparasite fauna infesting small

Inventaire et quantification des ectoparasites de la Foulque macroule Fulica atra (Gruiformes : Rallidés) dans le nord-est de l’Algérie

Parasite, 2007
L’inventaire quantitatif des ectoparasites a été réalisé pour la première fois chez la Foulque macroule (N = 17), Fulica atra, au niveau du lac Tonga, en Algérie, durant la saison d’hivernage (2004-2005). Les résultats ont montré que les mites (Grallobia
