Ecology and effects of metazoan parasites of fish in transitional waters. [PDF]
Parasitology, 2022 AbstractGiven the abundance, heterogeneity and ubiquity of parasitic organisms, understanding how they influence biodiversity, evolution, health and ecosystem functionality is crucial, especially currently when anthropogenic pressures are altering host–parasite balances.

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2011 This work aimed to study the temporal variation of metazoan parasites of Trichiurus lepturus from the coastal zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Between July 2006 and June 2007, there were four seasonal quarterly samples of 30 specimens of T. lepturus.

Mobile genetic elements colonizing the genomes of metazoan parasites
Trends in Parasitology, 2003 A substantial fraction of the genome of most eukaryotes, including those of metazoan parasites, is predicted to comprise repetitive sequences. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) will make up much of these repetitive sequences, particularly the interspersed sequences.

Metazoan Parasite Vaccines: Present Status and Future Prospects [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018 Eukaryotic parasites and pathogens continue to cause some of the most detrimental and difficult to treat diseases (or disease states) in both humans and animals, while also continuously expanding into non-endemic countries. Combined with the ever growing

Metazoan parasites of rodents in New Zealand [PDF]
, 1972 The knowledge of rodent parasites and their distribution are important in every country as many of these threaten both human and domestic stock populations either directly or by the diseases transmitted by them. Although the parasites of the rodent species present in New Zealand have been widely studied overseas, the introduction of rodents into New ...

Economic costs of protistan and metazoan parasites to global mariculture
Parasitology, 2014 SUMMARYParasites have a major impact on global finfish and shellfish aquaculture, having significant effects on farm production, sustainability and economic viability. Parasite infections and impacts can, according to pathogen and context, be considered to be either unpredictable/sporadic or predictable/regular.

Metazoan Parasite Life Cycles: Significance for Fish Mariculture
Trends in Parasitology, 2020 Marine fish are a nutritious and high-value food commodity, but many wild-capture fisheries are in decline. Thus, marine fish culture is expected to expand greatly in coming years. Management of disease is a major problem in this industry, and metazoan parasites are among the most significant disease agents in terms of economic loss and animal welfare.

Oncogenic Brain Metazoan Parasite Infection [PDF]
Case Reports in Neurological Medicine, 2013 Multiple observations suggest that certain parasitic infections can be oncogenic. Among these, neurocysticercosis is associated with increased risk for gliomas and hematologic malignancies. We report the case of a 71-year-old woman with colocalization of a metazoan parasite, possibly cysticercosis, and a WHO grade IV neuroepithelial tumor with ...

Helminthologia, 2020 We recorded the metazoan parasite communities in three endemic cichlids (Chiapaheros grammodes, Vieja breidohri and V. hartwegi) collected between November 2008 and July 2009 in the upper Grijalva River Basin (GRB), Chiapas, Mexico.
