Ectoparasites of buffaloes (<i>Bubalus bubalis</i>) in Kurigram district of Bangladesh

open access: yes, 1970
Epidemiology of ectoparasites of buffaloes was studied in Kurigram district of Bangladesh from November, 2007 to October, 2008. A total of 236 buffaloes were examined, among them 61.86% were found infested with one or more species of ectoparasites. Three

New Records for Ectoparasites of Michigan Bats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
During 1978, 1979, and 1981 ectoparasites of bats were collected in 16 counties of the Upper and Lower peninsulas in connection with an extensive study of Michigan bat populations (Kurta 1980, 1982).

Early‐Life Telomere Length Negatively Covaries With Brood Size and Father Age, and Predicts Long‐Term Survival in Male Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica)

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In barn swallows, nestlings raised in larger broods or by older social fathers have shorter telomeres, and those with longer telomeres tend to live longer, suggesting that early‐life conditions may shape individual lifespan through telomere dynamics. ABSTRACT Parental decisions on breeding, such as brood size and timing of reproduction, influence the ...

Ectoparasites in Ornamental Shrimps

open access: yes
The Neocaridina genus is one of the atyidae families that inhabit lakes, tributaries, ponds, rivers, and streams. Two species of Neocaridina have become popular in the Indonesian aquarium, namely N. denticulata and N. palmata.

Volatile Compounds in Feathers of the Scarlet Macaw (Ara macao) Reflect Sex and Pair‐Bond Status

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Scarlet macaws exhibit sex‐ and pair‐related differences in plumage volatile composition, with males showing greater chemical richness. Partnered individuals differ in specific compound classes, whereas no clear association with immune function was detected. These results support a potential role for olfactory cues in sexual and social communication in

Molecular analyses of badger ectoparasites from Ireland

open access: yes, 2019
Ectoparasites are economically important, because they may cause production loss, anaemia and discomfort to their hosts. Apart from this, blood-sucking arthropod ectoparasites can transmit so-called vector-borne pathogens from one host to another.

Hidden Losses: Assessing the Risk of Coextinction Among Ectoparasitic Flies and Their Bat Host Species in Brazil

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
The potential impact of bat species extinction on the number of their ectoparasitic fly species, based on interaction data for Brazil. As bat host species are removed over time, more connected species (green) would experience steeper declines and lead to greater ectoparasite losses when compared to a random extinction model (gray).

The microbiota of hematophagous ectoparasites collected from migratory birds

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Arthropod vectors are responsible for the transmission of human pathogens worldwide. Several arthropod species are bird ectoparasites, however, no study to date has characterized their microbiota as a whole.

Understanding the Type 2 Immunity: An Evolving View Beyond Allergic Diseases

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Type 2 (T2) immunity is classically associated with defense against helminths and environmental threats, from a physiological perspective, and with allergies and eosinophilic inflammatory diseases, in a pathological sense. However, growing evidence reveals that T2 pathways also support other essential homeostatic functions, including tissue ...
