Honey bee predisposition of resistance to ubiquitous mite infestations

Scientific Reports, 2019
Host-parasite co-evolution history is lacking when parasites switch to novel hosts. This was the case for Western honey bees (Apis mellifera) when the ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor, switched hosts from Eastern honey bees (Apis cerana).

Factors associated with diversity, quantity and zoonotic potential of ectoparasites on urban mice and voles [PDF]

, 2018
Wild rodents are important hosts for tick larvae but co-infestations with other mites and insects are largely neglected. Small rodents were trapped at four study sites in Berlin, Germany, to quantify their ectoparasite diversity.

Understanding causes of morbidity and mortality in Southern Hemisphere small Odontoceti: a scoping review

Mammal Review, Volume 55, Issue 2, April 2025.
This review identifies key causes of morbidity and mortality in Southern Hemisphere small Odontoceti, highlighting significant anthropogenic threats and the enhanced need for conservation strategies. Key findings include high rates of entanglements and a diverse range of infectious pathogens. Abstract Marine mammals serve as sentinels for environmental

Environmental conditions influence host–parasite interactions and host fitness in a migratory passerine

Integrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 256-273, March 2025.
Understanding the intricate connections among parasites, hosts, and environmental factors is key to assessing implications for host population dynamics. We examined those factors influencing blowfly parasitism and its impact on bird fitness. We identified a link between parasite exposure and the average nestling stage temperature, and a temperature ...

Prevalence of Ectoparasite Infestation in Chicken in and Around Ambo Town, Ethiopia [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Science & Technology, 2014
A cross sectional study was conducted from July to October 2013 to estimate prevalence and identify different species of ectoparasites infesting chicken in semi-intensive and backyard chicken farms in and around Ambo Town, West Shewa, Ethiopia. A total of 390 chickens were randomly selected. Age, sex, breed and management system of the study population

Dermanyssus gallinae in layer farms in Kosovo: a high risk for salmonella prevalence [PDF]

, 2011
Background The poultry red mite (PRM), Dermanyssus gallinae (D.g.) is a serious ectoparasitic pest of poultry and potential pathogen vector. The prevalence of D. g. and the prevalence of Salmonella spp. within mites on infested laying poultry farms were

Infantile Scabies in the Democratic Republic of Congo: Observations From the First Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Scabies is common in the Democratic Republic of Congo, often underestimated, including in infants. In this report, a 4‐month‐old's irritability, nocturnal itching, insomnia, and skin rashes raised suspicion, confirmed by parasitological examination. The father's lack of infestation despite sharing the bed with the infant and his mother poses a
