An emergent plant‐parasitic nematode in Brazil: Aphelenchoides besseyi. Current status and research perspectives

Plant Pathology, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 478-491, April 2024.
We review the biology, life cycle, host range and management solutions of an emergent pathogen in Brazil, all in the context of the landmark events leading to the rise of Aphelenchoides besseyi (Created using Biorender). Abstract Aphelenchoides besseyi is an emerging and yet overlooked plant parasite of many economically important crops, including ...

Disruption of the odorant coreceptor Orco impairs foraging and host finding behaviors in the New World screwworm fly

Scientific Reports, 2021
The evolution of obligate ectoparasitism in blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) has intrigued scientists for over a century, and surprisingly, the genetics underlying this lifestyle remain largely unknown.

Signatures of dysbiosis in fish microbiomes in the context of aquaculture

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 16, Issue 2, Page 706-731, March 2024.
Fish gut microbiome is highly susceptible to salinity changes and antimicrobial treatments, whereas external microbiomes seem to be more susceptible to disease and variations in temperature. Treatments with tetracyclines and florfenicol, as well as bacterial diseases, prompt severe dysbiosis, whereas quinolones, disinfectants and parasitic diseases ...

Influence of seasonal and edaphic factors on the diversity of scolopendromorph centipedes (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha) and general observations on their ecology from Kerala, India

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2017
Scolopendromorph centipedes (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha) are a diverse group of invertebrate communities, which play significant, but often poorly acknowledged or understood roles in the delivery of soil ecosystem services.

Cooler and drier conditions increase parasitism in a subtropical damselfly population

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.
Understanding temporal variation of host–pathogen interactions might help to understand the impact of climate change on insect diseases. Here, we showed that seasonal variation of temperature and precipitation drives parasitism in subtropical climate.

The impact of ectoparasitism on thermoregulation in Yarrow’s Spiny Lizards (Sceloporus jarrovii)

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2019
Parasites are ubiquitous and can have large impacts on the fitness of their hosts. The effects of ectoparasites on physiology, behaviour, and immune function suggest that they could be part of the factors which impact thermoregulation.

Current Prospects of Husbandry and Breeding Practices of Chicken Populations Rearing in Rural Communities: For Sustainable Improvement Interventions

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
This study aimed to investigate the present scenario of chicken husbandry and breeding practices in the rural districts of Sidama Region, southern Ethiopia. Four districts, namely Hula, Shebedino, Aleta Chuko, and Boricha were purposefully selected based on their chicken production potential and agroecological distinctiveness.

First record of Forcipomyia (Microhelea) eriophora (Williston, 1896) ectoparasitic midges occurrence on Heraclides anchisiades capys (Hübner, 1809) butterfly caterpillar hosts in Brazil

Universitas Scientiarum
In this work we report for the first time the occurrence of female adults of the biting midge Forcipomyia (Microhelea) eriophora feeding on butterfly Heraclides anchisiades capys caterpillars.

Data from: Ectoparasitism shortens the breeding season in a colonial bird

, 2015
When blood-feeding parasites increase seasonally, their deleterious effects may prevent some host species, especially those living in large groups where parasites are numerous, from reproducing later in the summer. Yet the role of parasites in regulating
