Prevalence of Helminthiasis Among African Elephants in Tsavo and Laikipia-Samburu Ecosystems, Kenya

Veterinary Sciences
African elephants maintain a delicate balance between high intestinal helminth numbers and symptoms of poor health. However, calves and weaners face survival threats from damage caused by helminth infections and infestations during periods of starvation.

A shining starlet: Nematostella vectensis as a model for developmental, regenerative, and comparative biology

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract The sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, has been used as a model organism in developmental biology studies for many years. This estuarine species has the notable capacity to regenerate its full body plan from small pieces throughout life. Nematostella have been described as having a great degree of cellular plasticity.

Coevolution of host-parasite associations and methods for studying their cophylogeny [PDF]

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2016
Coevolution may be defined as the process of reciprocal, adaptive genetic change in two or more species. Host-parasite interactions play an important role in the evolutionary ecology. The host phylogeny is independent, and the phylogeny of the parasite
