Parasite communities of icefish (Chionodraco hamatus) in the Ross Sea (Antarctica): influence of the host sex on the helminth infracommunity structure.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Parasite communities of Chionodraco hamatus were investigated from Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea, Antarctica) during host spawning time. Special attention was given to helminth infracommunities and effect of host sex on its structure.

Parasite infracommunities of Leporinus friderici: A comparison of three tributaries of the Jurumirim Reservoir in southeastern Brazil [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2017
The degradation and homogenization of natural habitats is considered a major cause of biotic homogenization. Many studies have been undertaken on the effects of dams on aquatic wildlife, in particular fish assemblages.

Diversity, similarity, and host–parasite relationships in parasitic infracommunities ofHypostomusspp. from the Tietê-Batalha river basin, southeastern Brazil

Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment, 2021
We analyzed the distribution and ecological relationships in the parasitic infracommunities of four species of the genus Hypostomus: Hypostomus regani, Hypostomus strigaticeps, Hypostomus hermanni,...

Interannual variation in the metazoan parasite communities of bigeye trevally Caranx sexfasciatus (Pisces, Carangidae)

Parasite, 2020
Parasite communities in Caranx sexfasciatus were characterized and analyzed to determine any interannual variations in structure and/or species composition. In total, 422 C.

Human Impact on the Composition of Small-Intestine Helminth Infracommunities in Canine Mesocarnivores, with a Special Focus on Echinococcus multilocularis

Parasitologia
Estimating the human impact on parasites in wildlife is essential to create efficient strategies to control diseases and improve public health. This study assessed the human influence on the parasite burden of the two commonest canine mesocarnivores, the

Gill ectoparasites of Barbus martorelli (Teleostean: Cyprinidae) from a tropical watercourse (Cameroon, Africa): conflict or coexistence?

Parasite, 2011
The structure and stability of parasite communities have been mainly explained by high diversity and strong interactions among parasite species. During 16 months, 558 Barbus martorelli gill infracommunities were studied in a tropical zone to determine ...

Influence of host sex and age on infracommunities of metazoan parasites of Prochilodus lineatus (Valenciennes, 1836) (Prochilodontidae) of the Upper Paraná River floodplain, Brazil [PDF]

Parasite, 2005
149 specimens of Prochilodus lineatus were collected on the upper Paraná River floodplain. Of these, 121 (82.1 %) were parasitized. 33 species of metazoan parasites were recorded.

Divvying up the pie: Tissue nutrient content is related to its parasite load. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We investigated how the size and composition of parasitic infracommunities are affected by the nutrient content of their infection sites. We expected infracommunities to be dominated by parasites that were stoichiometrically similar to their infection sites. However, we found that parasites, themselves, can vary in nutrient content and that the size of
