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

Parasitology 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

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

Journal 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.

Epizootic and zoonotic helminths of the bobcat (Lynx rufus) in Illinois and a comparison of its helminth component communities across the American Midwest

Parasite, 2014
A total of 6257 helminths of 19 taxa were recovered from the digestive tract and lungs of 67 bobcats in Illinois. Infections caused by Alaria mustelae, Diphyllobothrium latum, and Macracanthorhynchus ingens are reported for the first time in bobcats ...

Shift in parasite load in native and non-native Eupercarian fish species living in sympatry [PDF]

NeoBiota
Non-native species have the potential to alter host community structure, which, in turn, may affect parasite transmission, diversity and distribution, particularly when the introduced host is ecologically or phylogenetically related to its native host(s).
