Ectoparasitic infestations [PDF]
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,

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.

Chalcidoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) with different parasitism types infesting caterpillars and pupae of Phyllonorycter roboris (Zeller, 1839) (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) in south-west of Krasnodar province [PDF]
The article gives information on parasitic wasps, infesting leaf-mining moth, Phyllonorycter roboris. Larvae of the moth mine leaves of oak. Features of preimaginal stages of two dominant species of the parasitocomplex are described for the first time ...

Omnivore diet composition alters parasite resistance and host condition
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.

Philornis infection in blue‐black grassquits: impact on nestlings and risk factors involved
Parasitic botfly larvae (Philornis ssp., Diptera: Muscidae) are found in nests of several bird taxa, although prevalence and impact on nestling survival vary considerably among species.

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 ...
