Pathology associated with larval Eustrongylides sp. (Nematoda: Dioctophymatoidea) infection in Galaxias maculatus (Actinopterygii: Galaxiidae) from Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]
Helminth infections within tissues tend to be subjected to a host response that can include encapsulation and melanization to isolate the parasite. The effectiveness of this response depends on the host species. During a survey of parasites of the native

Disproportionate infection by Eustrongylides sp. (Nematoda: Dioctophymatoidea: Dioctophymatidae) in the imperiled Harter's watersnake, Nerodia harteri [PDF]
Describing host-parasite dynamics in natural systems is a priority for hosts of conservation concern. Harter's watersnake (Nerodia harteri ssp.) is one such species, endemic to north-central Texas and impacted by habitat alteration, low genetic diversity,
