Evidence for interspecific interactions in the ectoparasite infracommunity of a wild mammal [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND : Co-infection with multiple parasite species is commonly observed in nature and interspecific interactions are likely to occur in parasite infracommunities.

Patterns of variation in parasite component communities and infracommunities of a littoral fish species from the northern coast of Chile

Journal of Helminthology, 2012
Abstract The structure and similarity of the parasite communities of fish can be evaluated at the component community (CC) and infracommunity (IC) levels. Both hierarchical levels have been used to assess parasite variations in fish at large (biogeographic) scales.

Diet quality determines interspecific parasite interactions in host populations [PDF]

, 2014
The widespread occurrence of multiple infections and the often vast range of nutritional resources for their hosts allow that interspecific parasite interactions in natural host populations might be determined by host diet quality. Nevertheless, the role

Metazoan Parasite Infracommunities of the Toadfish Aphos porosus (Pisces: Batrachoidiformes) in Central Chile: How Variable Are They over Time?

Journal of Parasitology, 2009
The present study examines variation in parasite community characteristics of the toadfish Aphos porosus across sampling years. We analyzed and compared the species composition and numeric descriptors of the parasite infrapopulations and infracommunities in 101 fish collected during the springs of 1999, 2006, and 2007 from rocky intertidal ponds in El ...

Estabilidad temporal de las infracomunidades de parásitos en la borrachilla Scartichthys viridis (Valenciennes, 1836) (Pisces : Blenniidae) en la costa central de Chile Temporal stability in parasite infracommunities of the blenny Scartichthys viridis(Valenciennes, 1836) (Pisces: Blenniidae) on the central coast of Chile

Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2002
Se comparan las infracomunidades de parásitos de la borrachilla Scartichthys viridis (Pisces: Blenniidae) de tres muestras tomadas en un lapso de 17 meses, entre 1999 y 2001, desde pozas intermareales vecinas a Las Cruces (33°27' S, 71°37' O), Chile ...

Parasites as Biological Tags for Stock Discrimination of Beaked Redfish (Sebastes mentella): Parasite Infra-Communities vs. Limited Resolution of Cytochrome Markers. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The use of parasites as biological tags for discrimination of fish stocks has become a commonly used approach in fisheries management. Metazoan parasite community analysis and anisakid nematode population genetics based on a mitochondrial cytochrome ...

Low Similarity Between Parasite Communities of Ten Sympatric Carangid Species [PDF]

Host phylogeny and ecological convergence are two factors thought to influence the structure of parasite communities. The aims of this study were to determine the diversity of metazoan parasites of 10 sympatric fish species of the family Carangidae from ...

Parasites of the green jack Caranx caballus (Pisces: Carangidae) in three locations from Pacific coasts of Mexico, and their utility as biological tags

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2016
Parasites are known to be useful as biological tags in distinguishing fish stocks, but the parasite fauna method has received limited use in the fisheries of Mexico.

Parasite recruitment and oceanographic regime: evidence suggesting a relationship on a global scale

, 2007
7 páginas, 2 figurasWe here investigate the relationship between oceanographic processes and variability in parasite recruitment to host populations using existing data from host-parasite systems encountering differing hydrographic conditions. Combined
