Parasitology, 2012 SUMMARYWe studied the distribution of ectoparasite species (an ixodid tick, a chigger mite, 7 mesostigmate mites, 5 fleas and 3 lice) on bodies of 5 species of rodent hosts from the marshlands in Argentina to establish whether arthropod ectoparasites are segregated across body parts of the same host individual.

The influence of sleep disruption on learning and memory in fish
Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.Summary Sleep is a ubiquitous process that has been conserved in animals. Yet, our understanding of the functions of sleep largely derives from a few species. Sleep is considered to play an important role in mental processes, including learning and memory consolidation, but how widespread this relationship is across taxa remains unclear.

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.Parthenogenic hybrid populations often have differing morphological, physiological, and ecological traits from their parent populations, which alongside clonal reproduction contribute to increased fitness. However, slowed rates of co‐evolution can reduce parthenogens' capacity to outpace parasites, resulting in higher rates of parasitism.

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gut microbiota regulate multiple aspects of host health, including metabolism and the development of the immune system. However, we still know relatively little about how the gut microbiota influences host responses to parasitism in wild organisms, particularly whether host‐microbiota interactions contribute to variation in parasitism across ...

Journal of Aquaculture Science, 2018 Detriment caused by ectoparasitic infestation was not as big detriment caused by infestation of other organisms such as viruses and bacteria, but it could be a predisposing factor for the infection of more dangerous pathogenic in fish.

Using host species traits to understand the consequences of resource provisioning for host–parasite interactions [PDF]
, 2017 1.Supplemental food provided to wildlife by human activities can be more abundant and predictable than natural resources, and subsequent changes to wildlife ecology can have profound impacts on host–parasite interactions.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Although flea‐borne typhus is historically associated with poorer living conditions, FBT surveillance reporting is associated with greater socioeconomic advantage at the population level. FBT surveillance may be biased towards socioeconomic advantage in its ascertainment of surveillance data.

Wild Rodent Ectoparasites Collected from Northwestern Iran
Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2017 Background: Rodents play an important role as reservoir of some pathogens, and the host of some ectoparasites as well. These ectoparasites can transmit rodents’ pathogens to human or animals.
