Parasite infracommunity diversity in eels: a reflection of local component community diversity
Parasitology, 2003 The intestinal macroparasite communities of freshwater eels (Anguilla anguilla) captured in the south of England from Windsor (River Thames) during August 2001, and Leckford (River Test) during late June/July 2000, are reported for the first time. Parasite component communities were among the most species rich and diverse recorded from European eels. A

Infracommunity level aggregation in the monogenean communities of crucian carp (Carassius carassius)
Parasitology, 2005 Aggregation is one of the distinctive features in parasite-host relationships, which has generally been studied at the level of host communities. Parasite aggregation at the infracommunity level may nevertheless be important for intraspecific interactions such as parasite mating success and opportunities for cross-fertilization.

Structure of the parasite infracommunity of Sciades proops from the Japaratuba River Estuary, Sergipe, Brazil [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2015 Abstract The catfish species Sciades proops inhabits muddy estuaries and shallow brackish lagoons, as well as freshwater. For these reasons, it is believed that this species may act as an intermediate, definitive and paratenic host in the life cycle of many parasites. From November 2010 to November 2011 and from August 2012 to July 2013, a total of 126

Patterns of species co‐occurrence and density compensation: a test for interspecific competition in bat ectoparasite infracommunities [PDF]
Oikos, 2008 Parasites constitute an ideal system with which to investigate patterns and mechanisms of community structure and dynamics. Nevertheless, despite their prevalence in natural systems, parasites have been examined less often than other organisms traditionally used for testing hypotheses of community assembly. In the present study, we

Retroviral Infections Affect Survival and Clutch Size of Female Wild Turkeys
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We investigated the effects of two oncogenic retroviruses, lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV) and reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV), on survival and reproduction of wild turkeys in Maine. REV infection reduced female annual survival by nearly half, while LPDV‐infected hens laid fewer eggs, though other reproductive metrics were unaffected.

Waterbirds and Other Drivers of Endoparasite Communities Across a Hierarchy of Spatial Scales
Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding drivers of parasite community structure is compromised by poor sampling and historical focus on one host‐one parasite systems. Yet parasites are ubiquitous and co‐infections are common. This study aimed to identify how various drivers, ranging from landscape scale (waterbird movements, hydrological connectivity, region, host ...
