Spatial, Temporal, and Host‐Specificity Patterns of Three Genera of Blood Coccidian Parasites in Two Syntopic Mediterranean Lizards

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Our results indicated that the three genera of blood parasites found in the two species of lizards studied can exhibit distinct epidemiological patterns across microgeographic and temporal scales. ABSTRACT We investigated the phenological variation of three genera of blood parasites of lizards (Schellackia, Karyolysus, and Lankesterella) using samples ...

Lice, Mites, and Ticks of Southeastern Wisconsin Mammals [PDF]

, 2017
Seventeen species of southeastern Wisconsin mammals were found to 6e infected with arthropod ectoparasites other than fleas. One host species was infested with one species of biting lice (Mallophaga), five with five species of sucking lice (Anoplura ...

Effects of Vector Density on Blood Parasite Spread and Health Consequences for Avian Hosts: An Experimental Epidemiology Blueprint

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In an experimental epidemiology setup, groups of pigeons were exposed to different numbers of infective malaria vectors. Vector number explained the speed of transmission, the final prevalence, and changes in host behavior. ABSTRACT Vector density plays a critical role in the transmission dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and thus in their health and ...

Prevalence and Intensity of Ectoparasites on Clarias gariepinus From Aquaculture Pond in Aceh Besar District, Indonesia

Jurnal Biodjati, 2019
Information related to the prevalence and intensity of para-sites in an aquatic environment is crucial as preventive and responsive efforts to manage aquatic resources, especially for fish farming pur-poses.

Alternative treatments in the control of psoroptic mange in a flock of organic production sheep. [PDF]

, 2009
The aim of the experiment was to verify the efficacy of the treatment of psoroptic mange in a flock of Churra sheep farmed under organic production conditions, using alternative methods. One group, C Control (N=9), was given no treatment, a second group,

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.

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...

Rickettsial pathogens and arthropod vectors of medical and veterinary significance on Kwajalein Atoll and Wake Island [PDF]

Micronesica, 2012
Modern surveys of ectoparasites and potential vector-borne pathogens in the Republic of the Marshall Islands and Wake Island are poorly documented. We report on field surveys of ectoparasites from 2010 with collections from dogs, cats, and rats.

Development of strategies to improve quality and safety and reduce cost of production in organic and “low input” livestock production systems [PDF]

, 2007
The demand for organic livestock products is still increasing. To support this growth and to help remove potential obstacles the fourth Subproject of QLIF addresses several themes related to livestock farming.
