The helminth infracommunities of the wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus) two years after the fire in Mediterranean forests [PDF]
Helminthologia, 2013 Abstract Parasites have been recognized as indicators for natural or man-induced environmental stress and perturbation. In this article, we investigated the role of two non-exclusive hypotheses on the response of helminths of wood mice to fire perturbation: 1) a reduction of the helminth infracommunity (species richness) in post-fire ...

Helminth infracommunities of the maculated toad Amietophrynus regularis (Anura: Bufonidae) from Ismailia, Egypt [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2008 The objective of the present work was to study the helminth infracommunities of Amietophrynus (Bufo) regularis and the possible effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors on infracommunity structure and on the infection parameters of each parasite species involved. A total of 129 A.

Parasite‐Mediated Competition Limits Dominant Cervid Competitor
Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2025.We leveraged 2 years of detection/non‐detection data of moose (Alces alces) and white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and parasite loads in faecal samples within a hierarchical abundance‐mediated interaction model to test hypotheses regarding interactions between these cervids and their shared parasites (Parelaphostrongylus tenuis, Fascioloides ...

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia VeterináriaThis study was the first investigation of communities and infracommunities of parasites of Hemibrycon surinamensis. All the fish collected in a tributary of the Amazon river were parasitized by one or more parasite species. The Brillouin diversity index (

Animals, 2021 Suncus etruscus is the smallest living mammal on Earth by mass. Most adults weigh 1.8–3 g with a body length of 35–48 mm. Catching it in small mammal traps in nature is extremely difficult due to its minute size, and therefore special trapping methods ...
