STREBLID BAT FLIES ON PHYLLOSTOMID BATS FROM AN ISLAND OFF THE COAST OF SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia
Streblidae is the family of bloodsucking flies, mostly tropical and subtropical, that are obligate ectoparasites of bats. A high number of these fly species are found in the Atlantic Forest, but there is little information about their quantitative ...

Structuring mechanisms of yellow perch (Perca flavescens) parasite communities: host age, diet, and local factors

, 2004
Seventeen parasite species were recovered from perch in four small Canadian Shield lakes with different fish species compositions. Parasite species such as Urocleidus adspectus Mullier, 1936, Bunodera sacculata Van Cleave and Muller, 1932, and ...

CONDITION FACTOR AND ECOLOGY OF ENDOHELMINTHS IN Metynnis lippincottianus FROM THE CURIAÚ RIVER, IN EASTERN AMAZON (BRAZIL)

Boletim do Instituto de Pesca, 2020
Fish are among the vertebrate groups most susceptible to parasitic infections due to environmental characteristics that can favor the development of parasites; also, position of the host in food web has been associated with the parasitism.

Parasite‐Mediated Competition Limits Dominant Cervid Competitor

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2025.
We leveraged 2 years of detection/non‐detection data of moose (Alces alces) and white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and parasite loads in faecal samples within a hierarchical abundance‐mediated interaction model to test hypotheses regarding interactions between these cervids and their shared parasites (Parelaphostrongylus tenuis, Fascioloides ...

Establishment and interspecific associations in two species of Ichthyocotylurus (Trematoda) parasites in perch (Perca fluviatilis)

Parasites & Vectors, 2011
Background Co-infections of multiple parasite species in hosts may lead to interspecific associations and subsequently shape the structure of a parasite community.

Ecological, Molecular, Histopathological and Public Health Implications of Zoonotic Metacercariae Clinostomum complanatum (Rudolphi, 1814) in the Endemic Anatolian Fish, Alburnus escherichii

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2025.
• Clinostomum complanatum metacercariae, which has been reported in 23 fish species worldwide and 12 in Türkiye to date, continues to infect local and endemic fish species and will persist in the future. • Considering that Alburnus escherichii and other fish species in which this parasite has been recorded in Türkiye are used in traditional local ...

Parasite communities in two sparid fishes from the western Mediterranean: a comparative analysis based on samples from three localities off the Algerian coast

Helminthologia, 2017
We provide the first known comparative assessment of metazoan parasite communities in two taxonomically and ecologically related sparids, Boops boops and Spicara maena, that are common in the coastal infralittoral habitats in the Mediterranean.

Parasites of juvenile Salminus brasiliensis and Brycon orbignyanus (Characiformes, Bryconidae) in the middle Paraná River, Argentina

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2023
Piscivorous Salminus brasiliensis and herbivorous/omnivorous Brycon orbignyanus often form mixed schools in the same habitats. The aims of this study were: (a) to analyze and compare ecto- and endoparasite communities in juvenile S.

Mean values (95% C.I.) of 4 parameters of gastrointestinal helminth communities in 5 owl species in Calabria (southern Italy).

, 2013
The parasite taxa that are more frequently dominant in the infracommunities for each host species are also reported. Numbers in brackets are the percentage of hosts in which each parasite taxon is dominant.

Host space, not energy or symbiont size, constrains feather mite abundance across passerine bird species

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 4, Page 393-405, April 2024.
Why some host species hold larger symbiont abundances than others is an open question in ecology. Comparison of the empirical scaling of feather mite abundance with predictions from the metabolic theory of ecology showed that space (number of feather barbs of bird species), and not energy, was the main constraint to feather mite infracommunities ...
