Characterization of the bacterial microbiome of non-hematophagous bats and associated ectoparasites from Brazil [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionBats, along with their ectoparasites, harbor a wide diversity of symbiotic and potential pathogenic bacteria. Despite the enormous diversity of bats (181 species), few studies aimed to investigate the bacterial microbiome of Brazilian ...

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 339, Issue 9, Page 816-824, November 1, 2023., 2023 Abstract Different blood parasites can co‐infect natural populations of lizards. However, our knowledge of the host's ability to recover from them (i.e., significantly reduce parasitemia levels) is scarce. This has interest from an ecological immunology perspective.

Tropical Fowl Mite, Ornithonyssus bursa (Berlese) (Acari: Macronyssidae)
EDIS, 2005 The tropical fowl mite, commonly found on birds, has become a pest to man in areas of high bird populations or where birds are allowed to roost on roofs, around the eaves of homes, and office buildings. Nesting birds are the worst offenders.

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page e845-e858, July 2022., 2022 Abstract Bartonella species are facultative intracellular bacteria and recognized worldwide as emerging zoonotic pathogens. Bartonella were isolated or identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in bats and their ectoparasites worldwide, whereas the association between them was scarce, especially in Asia. In this study, a retrospective analysis with

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 In this article, we assessed the differences in diet estimates and potential ecological and economic impact measurements according to the section of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach, small and large intestine) analysed. We aimed to test which section(s) provided a better diet representation and putative impact of a common inland invader.
