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.

Pathoecology of Chiribaya parasitism
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2003 The excavations of Chiribaya culture sites in the Osmore drainage of southern Peru focused on the recovery of information about prehistoric disease, including parasitism. The archaeologists excavated human, dog, guinea pig, and llama mummies.

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.

Function of Combs in Ectoparasites [PDF]
Nature, 1967 MANY ectoparasitic insects are characterized by one or more regular rows of closely set, large stout spines. These rows of spines are termed combs, or ctenidia, and have evolved independently in fleas (Siphonaptera), bat flies (Nycteribiidae), bat bugs (Polyctenidae), and in the beaver beetle Platypsyllus.

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

Quantifying the relative importance of direct and indirect effects influencing bird nestling growth
, 2021 Nestling growth parameters are integral components of avian life-history strategies as they are crucial determinants of individual survival. Although many factors impact on nestling growth, the relative contribution of each one is still debated in the ...
