Life history of the reindeer sinus worm, Linguatula arctica (Pentastomida), a prevalent parasite in reindeer calves

open access: yesRangifer, 1990
Three hypotheses of life cycle have been tested. A direct transmission to reindeer hosts with monoxenous development is the most probable. Abundant parasites are generally thought to have much impact on host populations.

Parasite body volume and infracommunity patterns in the southern pomfret Brama australis (Pisces: Bramidae) Volumen corporal del parásito y patrones infracomunitarios en la reineta Brama australis (Pisces: Bramidae)

open access: yesRevista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2002
The patterns of infracommunity descriptors (diversity, dominance, abundance) are compared when calculated with the number and body volume of the parasites in a sample of 26 southern pomfrets Brama australis collected in the area off Talcahuano, Chile. No

Gill ectoparasites of Barbus martorelli (Teleostean: Cyprinidae) from a tropical watercourse (Cameroon, Africa): conflict or coexistence?

open access: yesParasite, 2011
The structure and stability of parasite communities have been mainly explained by high diversity and strong interactions among parasite species. During 16 months, 558 Barbus martorelli gill infracommunities were studied in a tropical zone to determine ...

Nest box location determines the exposure of the host to ectoparasites

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2020
Nest box supplementation is a widely used technique to aid in the conservation of cavity nesting bird species. However, the criteria to choose the best location for nest boxes has seldom considered the likely exposure of cavity-users to parasites.

Metazoan parasite communities of two deep-sea elasmobranchs: the southern lanternshark, Etmopterus granulosus, and the largenose catshark, Apristurus nasutus, in the Southeastern Pacific Ocean

open access: yesParasite, 2018
Two deep-sea shark species were obtained as by-catch of the local fishery of the Patagonian toothfish, Dissostichus eleginoides, at depths ranging from 1000 to 2200 m off central and northern Chile. A total of 19 parasite taxa were found in 133 specimens

Complex interactions within the ectoparasite community of the eastern rock sengi (Elephantulus myurus)

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015
Concomitant infection with more than one parasite species is the rule in nature. Since co-infecting parasites are exploiting the same host, interspecific interactions at the infracommunity level are likely. The nature of such interactions can be expected

Structure of the parasite infracommunity of Sciades proops from the Japaratuba River Estuary, Sergipe, Brazil [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology, 2015
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 ...

Factors at multiple scales drive parasite community structure. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Anim Ecol, 2023
Beta‐diversity and nestedness may vary with ecological scale, which can reveal important drivers of community assembly and structure. Using parasite communities, the authors demonstrate that failing to account for patterns at one level alters the interpretation of ecological drivers at another.
