Ectoparasitic infestations [PDF]
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2005 Ectoparasitic infestations are highly prevalent in resource-poor populations throughout the world and are associated with considerable morbidity. Reliable data on the epidemiology, immunology, and therapy of ectoparasitic infestations and on the biology of the parasites remain scarce. The control of parasitic skin diseases, such as scabies, pediculosis,

Genetic variation in infestation with a directly transmitted ectoparasite [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2004 Abstract Genetic variation in levels of parasitism of hosts is an underlying assumption of studies of coevolution, but few such estimates are available from the field. We studied genetic variation in the abundance of the chewing louse Hirundoecus malleus on its barn swallow host Hirundo rustica.

Testing a New Method for Reducing Ectoparasite Infestation in Nest-Boxes
Ardeola, 2016 [EN] In wild bird populations nestlings are commonly infested by ectoparasites. The effects that ectoparasites exert on host fitness usually become evident after the complete elimination of parasites or a substantial reduction in their abundance. Among the most common elimination methods in ecological studies, the use of chemical insecticides is ...
