Community and infracommunities of metazoan parasites in Hemiodus unimaculatus (Hemiodontidae) from Jari River basin, a tributary of Amazon River (Brazil)

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2021
Parasites are an important part of biodiversity, and knowledge of species and their relationship with their hosts helps in monitoring an ecosystem over time.

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

Influence of latitude, host body size and host body weight on helminth species richness and abundance in two Neotropical marsupials [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Parasite species richness can be influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors of their hosts, such as host body size and latitude. Although these factors have been studied for several taxa, few studies have investigated them for helminths of wild ...

Ecological and phylogenetic components of flatfish ectoparasites (Pleuronectiformes: Paralichthyidae) from the Southern Gulf of Mexico. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
For many years, parasite ecologists have debated the relative importance of phylogeny and ecology as drivers of parasite community structure. Here, we address this issue using data on the metazoan ectoparasite communities of different flatfish species ...
