Fish consumption plays an important role in human diet. Hoplias malabaricus, commonly known as traíra, is a freshwater fish widely appreciated in several Brazilian states and frequently infected by Eustrongylides sp. fourth-instar larvae (L4). The aim of

ALTERED PREDATION SUSCEPTIBILITY OF MOSQUITOFISH INFECTED WITH EUSTRONGYLIDES IGNOTUS [PDF]
Eustrongylides ignotus is a parasitic nematode whose definitive hosts are often piscivorous wading birds (Ciconiiformes). Several species of small fishes are intermediate hosts, while larger predatory fish may be paratenic (transport) hosts. We examined predation susceptibility of infected mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) to three species of predatory

Cutaneous Emergence of Eustrongylides in Two Persons from South Sudan [PDF]
Two large, living worms were collected as they emerged from the lower limb of each of two persons in South Sudan. The worms were observed by staff of the South Sudan Guinea Worm Eradication Program during surveillance activities in communities at-risk for cases of Guinea worm disease (dracunculiasis).

Abstract A core goal of ecology is to understand the abiotic and biotic variables that regulate species distributions and community composition. A major obstacle is that the rules governing species distributions can change with spatial scale. Here, we illustrate this point using data from a spatially nested metacommunity of parasites infecting a ...

The results of this work suggest that interspecific competition can occur in species‐poor, nonsaturated communities among specialist dominant species. Our analyses suggest also that aggregation is an important factor to determine local richness of parasites in fish populations and that intraspecific aggregation allows the coexistence of species in the ...

Seasonal dietary shifts enhance parasite transmission to lake salmonids during ice cover
Seasonal variation in prevalence and intensity of trophically transmitted intestinal parasites hosted by Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) in high‐latitude lakes is linked to dietary shifts occurring throughout the seasons.
