Consequences of nest reuse for parasite burden and female health and condition in blue tits, Cyanistes caeruleus

open access: yes, 2007
Research on the costs of nest reuse is central to understanding the population ecology and evolution of cavity-nesting birds. We explored the consequences of nest reuse by offering blue tits three types of nestboxes in which to breed: nestboxes with an ...

Ectocommensal and ectoparasites in goldfish Carassius auratus (Linnaeus, 1758) in farmed in the State of São Paulo

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Concomitant infections by several parasitic genera are rare, very debilitating and often lethal to fish reared under commercial breeding conditions. Were describe a multiple and concurrent parasite infestation in cultured goldfish Carassius auratus with ...

Vaccination against ectoparasites

open access: yesParasitology, 2006
Ectoparasites of livestock are of great economic and social importance but their effective control remains difficult. The feasibility of vaccination as a novel control measure was established over a decade ago with the commercial release of a recombinant vaccine against the cattle tickBoophilus microplus. Since then, research has continued on ticks and

Host demographic predicts ectoparasite dynamics for a colonial host during pre-hibernation mating

open access: yes
Parasite dynamics can be mediated by host behaviours such as sociality, and seasonal changes in aggregation may influence risk of parasite exposure. We used little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) captured during the autumn mating/swarming period to test ...

ECTOPARASITISM OF ANISOPTERAN DRAGONFLIES (INSECTA: ODONATA) BY WATER MITE LARVAE OF ARRENURUS SPP. (ARACHNIDA: HYDRACHNIDA: ARRENURIDAE) IN CENTRAL INDIA

open access: yes, 2020
There is no report on the frequency, species selection and site specificity of water mites’ ectoparasitism within and among dragonfly species of India. Here, we present a field survey of the species selection and site specificity of ectoparasite larval ...

The effects of Dipteran ectoparasitism on the growth and development of nestlings of the pearly-eyed thrasher (Margarops fuscatus) in the Luquillo Mountains, Puerto Rico

open access: yes
"In a rain forest population of the Pearly-eyed Thrasher instances of warble fly parasitism were found to be high. An average of 96.7 percent of all nests and 97.0 percent of all nestlings was parasitized during the 1981-82 breeding seasons.
