Seasonal Pattern in Parasite Infracommunities of Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus and Hoplias malabaricus (Actinopterygii: Erythrinidae) From the Brazilian Amazon [PDF]

open access: yesActa Parasitologica, 2016
AbstractThe present study investigated the effects of seasonal variation in parasites infracommunities of Hoplerythrinus unitaeniatus and Hoplias malabaricus from a tributary of Amazon River. For H. unitaeniatus and H. malabaricus, 11 parasite species were similar, and greatest parasite richness occurred during the rainy season.

Parasite Infracommunities of a Specialized Marine Fish Species in a Compound Community Dominated by Generalist Parasites

Journal of Helminthology, 2009
AbstractThe structure and composition of parasite communities of Mullus argentinae were analysed under two alternative hypotheses in a sample of 75 specimens caught off Mar del Plata, Argentina (38°27′S, 57°90′W). The first, based on the dominance of trophically transmitted larval parasites of low host-specificity among fish species in the region ...

Ontogenetic Variation in Parasite Infracommunities of the Clingfish Sicyases sanguineus (Pisces: Gobiesocidae)

open access: yesJournal of Parasitology, 2011
This study analyzed the variation of the parasite infracommunities and their relationship with the diet and spatial distribution of the clingfish Sicyases sanguineus during its ontogeny. In total, 154 clingfish were collected from the intertidal and the upper subtidal zone of Pacific Ocean along the central Chilean coast. A wide range in body length (1.

Parasite counts or parasite incidences? Testing differences with four analyses of infracommunity modelling for seven parasite–host associations

Parasitology Research, 2021
One of the challenges in studies of parasite community ecology is whether the input data for analyses should be parasite abundances/counts, i.e. count data (CD), or parasite incidences (presences/absences), i.e. incidence data (ID). We analysed species responses to environmental factors and species associations in the infracommunities of helminths and ...

Metazoan Parasite Infracommunities of Florida Pompano (Trachinotus carolinus) From the Coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.

Journal of Parasitology, 2002
Metazoan parasite infracommunities of the Florida pompano (Trachinotus carolinus) were studied in terms of species composition, species richness, diversity, numerical dominance, and similarity. Seventy-five fishes were collected from 4 localities along the Yucatan Peninsula coast and 24 parasite species recovered.

Patterns in the infracommunity and component community structures of parasites in wrasses (Labridae): the importance of some biological characteristics of hosts and parasites [PDF]

open access: possible, 2023
The complexity of parasite communities is well known because the habitats are composed of live organisms and the life cycles are often complex (e.g. endoparasites often require 1-4 host species). Thus, parasite communities should not be analysed simplistically by using only a few variables and descriptors, because such as approach will provide limited ...

The importance of the compound community on the parasite infracommunity structure in a small benthic fish

Parasitology Research, 2008
The extent to which the structure of parasite infracommunities and component communities is determined by the composition of the compound community was assessed by determining the importance of unspecific larval parasites relative to the other guilds (ectoparasites and adult endoparasites).

Metazoan Parasite Infracommunities of Menticirrhus (Teleostei: Sciaenidae): An Amphi-Oceanic Approximation

The Journal of Parasitology, 1999
Metazoan infracommunities of Menticirrhus ophicephalus from the south Pacific Ocean and M. americanus from the south Atlantic Ocean were analyzed and compared. The metazoan parasite infracommunities of M. ophicephalus showed higher values of total number of parasite individuals/host and parasite species richness than that of M americanus, but M ...

Effects of Interspecific Interactions on Infracommunities of Helminths Parasitizing Creek Chub (Semotilus atromaculatus)

Comparative Parasitology, 2021
Natural infections of Allocreadium lobatum Wallin, 1909 (Trematoda), Proteocephalus sp. (Cestoda), Rhabdochona canadensis Moravec and Arai, 1971 (Nematoda), Paulisentis missouriensis Keppner, 1974 (Acanthocephala), and Schyzocotyle acheilognathi (Yamaguti, 1934) (Cestoda) in the intestine of creek chub (Semotilus atromaculatus) were analyzed to ...
