Morpho-functional features of Hirudo verbana after girudotherapeutic procedure

open access: yesZaporožskij Medicinskij Žurnal, 2013
In the real scientific period hirudotherapy is one of the leading methods of the traditional medicine. The body of the medicinal leech produced unique natural complex of biologically active substances (BAS), which arrive independently in the human or ...

Molecular Aspect of Annelid Neuroendocrine system

open access: yes, 2007
Hormonal processes along with enzymatic processing similar to that found in vertebrates occur in annelids. Amino acid sequence determination of annelids precursor gene products reveals the presence of the respective peptides that exhibit high sequence ...

Modelling the national breeding distribution and population size of an elusive forest bird, the Eurasian Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola)

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Understanding the distribution of species is central to conservation biology. Species distribution modelling (SDM) is a standard method used for this purpose, especially for elusive species for which limited occurrence data exist. The Eurasian Woodcock Scolopax rusticola (hereafter Woodcock) is an elusive, woodland‐dwelling wader that is declining in ...

Distribution models of polysphinctine parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) reveal sampling bias and flag potentially overlooked host interactions

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We quantified the geographical overlap between parasitoid wasps and their known host spiders. We could assess which parasitoid species have more limited information about their interactions and are subject to geographical survey bias. We generated sampling bias maps to assist other researchers in identifying where the main sampling gaps are.

Phylogeny and revision of Erpobdelliformes (Annelida, Arhynchobdellida) from Mexico based on nuclear and mithochondrial gene sequences. Filogenia y revisión de los Erpobdelliformes (Annelida, Arhynchobdellida) de México, con base en secuencias de ADN nuclear y mitocondrial

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2005
The phylogenetic relationships of the suborder Erpobdelliformes, a group of non-sanguivorous leeches, were investigated with the use of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, mitochondrial 12S rDNA and nuclear 18S rDNA.

Trematode Parasite Infections in Freshwater Leeches from the Central Region of Lithuania: First Record of Posthodiplostomum (Dubois, 1936) in a Leech Host

open access: yesDiversity
Leeches play a critical role in the transmission of digenean trematodes, yet their parasitic infections remain understudied in the Baltic region. This study investigates the diversity, prevalence, and molecular identification of trematode infections in ...

Batracobdella leeches, environmental features and Hydromantes salamanders

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2018
Leeches can parasitize many vertebrate taxa. In amphibians, leech parasitism often has potential detrimental effects including population decline. Most of studies on the host-parasite interactions involving leeches and amphibians focus on freshwater ...

Habitat selection, parasites and injuries in Amazonian crocodilians

open access: yes, 1985
Caiman crocodilus is found most frequently in relatively warm, shallow or grassy areas in the larger rivers, lakes and canals of Amazonia. The habitats that it uses are increasing in area because of human activities.
