Ectoparasitic infestations [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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,

Ectoparasites of Cattle

open access: yesVeterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2020
Diverse groups of ectoparasitic arthropods cause significant morbidity and mortality in most of the approximately 1.49 billion head of cattle worldwide. Hematophagous ectoparasites (ie, blood-feeding flies, myiasis-causing flies, lice, mites, ticks) are the most important in cattle.

Host species and environment drivers of ectoparasite community of rodents in a Mojave Desert wetlands

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
Drivers of patterns of ectoparasitism in rodents in patchy Mojave Desert wetlands were investigated. A total of 1,571 ectoparasites in Mesostigmata, Trombidiformes, Siphonaptera and Ixodida were collected from 341 rodents (Microtus californicus ...

Omnivore diet composition alters parasite resistance and host condition

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 11, Page 2175-2188, November 2023., 2023
Broader diet breadths enable omnivores to mount dynamic responses feeding to parasite attack, but little is known about how plant/prey mixing might influence responses to infection. These results suggest that a diverse nutritional landscape may be key in enabling omnivores' resistance and resilience to immune stressors in their environments.

Life-stage and sex influence Philornis ectoparasitism in a Neotropical woodpecker (Melanerpes striatus) with essential male parental care

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
The nestlings of many Neotropical bird species suffer from Philornis (Diptera: Muscidae) ectoparasitism. While nestlings are typically considered the intended targets, recent work indicates that Philornis infest adult birds more frequently than ...
