Metazoan parasite infracommunities of the dusky flounder (Syacium papillosum) as bioindicators of environmental conditions in the continental shelf of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background We assessed metrics of the metazoan parasite infracommunities of the dusky flounder (Syacium papillosum) as indicators of aquatic environmental health of the Yucatan Shelf (YS) prior to oil extraction.

Helminth Communities of Common Fish Species in the Coastal Zone off Crimea: Species Composition, Diversity, and Structure [PDF]

Biology, 2023
In this paper, we analyzed the diversity and structure of helminth communities of 12 common fish species from the coastal zone of Crimea. A total of 53 helminth species were found.

Nestedness and beta diversity of gastrointestinal helminth communities in common warthogs, Phacochoerus africanus (Suidae), at 2 localities in South Africa [PDF]

Parasitology, 2023
Few studies have investigated the ecological interactions between wild species of Suidae and their parasites, leaving our knowledge concerning this host–parasite system fragmented.

Congruence between co-occurrence and trait-based networks is scale-dependent: a case study with flea parasites of small mammalian hosts [PDF]

Parasitology
We applied a novel framework based on network theory and a concept of modularity that estimates congruence between trait-based ( = functional) co-occurrence networks, thus allowing the inference of co-occurrence patterns and the determination of the ...

Ecto- and endoparasites of common reedbuck, Redunca arundinum, at 2 localities in KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa: community and network structure [PDF]

Parasitology
Parasite community structure is governed by functional traits of hosts and parasites. Notably, parasite populations and communities respond to host social and spatial behaviour.

Evaluation of the intrinsic and extrinsic ecological effects on the helminth communities of Didelphis albiventris (Didelphimorphia, Didelphidae) in Atlantic Forest areas [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
The white-eared opossum Didelphis albiventris is widely distributed throughout Brazil and hosts several parasite species. This study aimed to analyze the influence of intrinsic (sex and age of hosts) and extrinsic (locality and type of land use) factors ...

Helminths of sigmodontine rodents in an agroforestry mosaic in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest: Patterns and processes of the metacommunity structure [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2022
Phylogenetically or taxonomically related hosts may harbour similar parasite communities due to phylogenetic conservatism. In addition, host attributes may favour their exposure to parasites.

Diversity and distribution of helminth communities of the rodent Akodon montensis Thomas, 1913 (Rodentia: Cricetidae: Sigmodontinae) in preserved and altered environments in the Atlantic Forest, Brazil [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
The conversion of natural landscapes into agricultural and urban areas results in vegetation loss and habitat fragmentation, affecting biodiversity and favoring generalist species, such as Akodon montensis.

Challenges for assessment of cohabiting stocks of argentine shortfin squid Illex argentinus using parasites as biological tags [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
The Argentine shortfin squid Illex argentinus is one of the most important commercial species for the Argentine fisheries. The understanding of its stock structure is therefore necessary to ensure fishery sustainability and, given the relevance of squids
