Geographic distribution and composition of the parasite assemblage of the insectivorous bat, Miniopterus natalensis (Chiroptera: Miniopteridae), in South Africa [PDF]

, 2012
Includes bibliographical references.All free-living animal species have their own unique parasite assemblages. These parasites can have a significant impact on the fitness and ecology of their hosts, and through them the ecological systems in which they ...

[Infracommunity of parasite helminths of Ambystoma lernaensis (Caudata: Ambystomatidae) in Lerma, Mexico].

Revista de biologia tropical, 2002
The helminth infracommunity structure was analyzed in 48 salamanders (Ambystoma lermaensis) from San Pedro Tlaltizapán, Lerma, Estado de Mexico (June 1997 to March 1999). Richness (2.46 +/- 1.8), abundance (29.5 +/- 42.3), and diversity (0.64 +/- 0.58) levels characterize these communities as depauperate, similar to other amphibian helminth communities

Modulation of NF-kappaB activation in Theileria annulata-infected cloned cell lines is associated with detection of parasite-dependent IKK signalosomes and disruption of the actin cytoskeleton [PDF]

, 2010
Apicomplexan parasites within the genus <i>Theileria</i> have the ability to induce continuous proliferation and prevent apoptosis of the infected bovine leukocyte.

Metazoan parasite communities of three endemic cichlid fish species from the upper Grijalva River, Chiapas, Mexico

Helminthologia, 2020
We recorded the metazoan parasite communities in three endemic cichlids (Chiapaheros grammodes, Vieja breidohri and V. hartwegi) collected between November 2008 and July 2009 in the upper Grijalva River Basin (GRB), Chiapas, Mexico.

Evolutionary and proximate mechanisms shaping host-parasite interactions : the case of "Daphnia magna" and its natural bacterial parasite "Pasteuria ramosa" [PDF]

, 2011
Host-parasite interactions are composed of a sequence of steps, all necessary for successful infection: parasites need to encounter their hosts, to enter into their bodies, and to proliferate within them. Selection will act on the mechanisms used in each

Parasitic infracommunities of the Aegean wall lizard Podarcis erhardii (Lacertidae, Sauria): isolation and impoverishment in small island populations

Amphibia-Reptilia, 2009
Abstract The Aegean wall lizard Podarcis erhardii, is widely distributed across the islands of the Aegean Sea (Greece). While there exists a relatively substantial body of knowledge on the ecology and life history of the species, the parasite communities of the taxon remain almost completely unknown. Quantifying

Community ecology of the metazoan parasites of Atlantic Moonfish, Selene setapinnis (Osteichthyes: Carangidae) from the coastal zone of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Eighty-nine specimens of Selene setapinnis (Mitchill, 1815) collected from the coastal zone of the State of Rio de Janeiro (21-23ºS, 41-45ºW and 23º05'S, 44º30'W), Brazil, from August 2001 to May 2002, were necropsied to study their metazoan parasites ...

Long-term spatiotemporal stability and dynamic changes in helminth infracommunities of spiny mice (Acomys dimidiatus) in St. Katherine’s Protectorate, Sinai, Egypt [PDF]

, 2018
The importance of parasites as a selective force in host evolution is a topic of current interest. However, short-term ecological studies of host-parasite systems, on which such studies are usually based, provide only snap-shots of what may be dynamic ...
