Stress response of brown pelican nestlings to ectoparasite infestation
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2010Measurement of corticosterone has become a useful tool for assessing the response of individuals to ecological stressors of interest. Enhanced corticosterone levels can promote survival of stressful events; however, in situations where a stressor persists and corticosterone levels remain elevated, the adrenocortical response can be detrimental.

Group-Living and Infestation by Ectoparasites in Passerines
The Condor, 1991Using data from an 1 l-year field study, I determined whether group-living passerine species showed greater infestation by contact-transmitted ectoparasites (feather mites) than sympatric, solitary species. Differences in infestation by mobile hippoboscid flies between group-living and solitary passerine species were also examined. Among the 45 species

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 ...

Zoonotic Ectoparasites Infesting Commensal Invasive Murid Rodents
Vector-Borne and Zoonotic DiseasesRodents are associated with the spread of deadly zoonotic and emerging infectious diseases. Their widespread distribution is strongly linked to their ability to thrive in human-altered environments with access to food and shelter. Thus, humans are exposed to zoonotic agents that can spread and infect them directly and indirectly.

Adolescent medicine (Philadelphia, Pa.)
The author considers the two primary ectoparasitic infections of the genital region in young men: scabies and pediculosis pubis. In view of the widely held perception that poor hygiene is associated with these parasites, the need for attention to the patient's emotional state is stressed.
