Mesenteric haemorrhage in a dog induced by suspected Angiostrongylus vasorum larval migration: Surgical and medical management of vascular rupture

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract A 21‐month‐old, male poodle was referred for evaluation of acute lethargy, anorexia and hypovolaemic shock. Initial diagnostic work‐up revealed severe regenerative anaemia, thrombocytopenia and leukocytosis. Abdominal ultrasonography identified free fluid and a suspected mass, with haemoperitoneum confirmed via abdominocentesis.

Variation in prevalence and intensity of macroparasites in moose and their interactions with winter tick load in eastern Canada

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wild animals are infected with a large diversity and abundance of parasites that can affect their behavior, growth, body condition, and ultimately their survival. Although the adverse effects of parasites and the mechanisms involved in the interactions between a host and its parasites are generally well studied, much less is known about the additive or

Why are our roe deer short of breath? – prevalence and promotive factors of lung parasites in roe deer Capreolus capreolus in south‐eastern Germany

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The existence of bronchopulmonary nematodes in German roe deer Capreolus capreolus is well documented, with two types of lung parasites that have been described previously: Dictyocaulus capreolus and Varestrongylus capreoli. However, little is known about the impact of these parasites on their host animal or which parameters influence outbreak and ...

Nematodes and Their Management

open access: yesEDIS, 2012
Plant parasitic nematodes are microscopic roundworms which live in the soil and attack the roots of plants. Crop production problems induced by nemotodes therefore generally occur as a result of root dysfuntion, reducing rooting volume and foraging and utilization efficiency of water and nurtients.

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.

The role of developmental plasticity in eco‐phenotypic population dynamics

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Individual variation in development can strongly impact population density via its impact on demography. When this variation in development is caused by developmental plasticity, the resulting effects on population density are characterised as ‘eco‐phenotypic dynamics ...
