Variable effects of host characteristics on species richness of flea infracommunities in rodents from three continents

open access: yesParasitology Research, 2014
We studied the effect of host gender and body mass on species richness of flea infracommunities in nine rodent host species from three biomes (temperate zone of central Europe, desert of the Middle East and the tropics of East Africa). Using season- and species-specific generalized linear mixed models and controlling for year-to-year variation, spatial

Community structure of Diplostomum spp. (Digenea: Diplostomidae) in fish lenses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Numerous evolutionary and ecological factors can influence parasite community composition and structure in fish. Time of sampling, host phylogeny, length, age, sex, and interspecific associations among parasite species are among them.

Geographical Patterns of Parasite Infracommunities in the Rough Scad, Trachurus lathami Nichols, in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean

open access: yesJournal of Parasitology, 2012
We assessed temporal variability in parasite infections of rough scad (Trachurus lathami) in 3 samples from Miramar (MI) in 2008, separated by periods of 1 mo, and 2 samples from Villa Gesell (VG), 1 each in 2008 and 2009 (Buenos Aires Province, Argentina), respectively.

Medium-term temporal stability of the helminth component community structure in bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) from the Mazury Lake District region of Poland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The structure of helminth communities in wild rodents is subject to seasonal variation, and is dependent on host age within years. Although between-year variation has been monitored, seldom has it been assessed rigorously by appropriate multifactorial ...
