Endemic lizard Gallotia galloti is a paratenic host of invasive Angiostrongylus cantonensis in Tenerife, Spain. [PDF]

Parasitology, 2022
Abstract Angiostrongylus cantonensis is an invasive zoonotic nematode which causes eosinophilic meningitis in accidental hosts – vertebrates including humans – and is known to impact wildlife. Even though the parasite originates in Southeast Asia, it has

Suitability of invasive gobies as paratenic hosts for acanthocephalans of the genus Pomphorhynchus sp.

Parasitology
Ponto-Caspian gobies became highly abundant in many regions outside their native distribution range (e.g. in the Rhine River system). In the newly invaded habitats, the parasite communities of the invasive gobies are characterized by a lower species ...

Morphological description of infective larval stage of Physaloptera (Spirurida: Physalopteridae), and histological lesions in the paratenic host Leptodactylus macrosternum (Anura: Leptodactylidae) in Caatinga biome, Brazil

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2022
The present study aimed to describe the infective larval stage of Physaloptera sp. parasitizing Leptodactylus macrosternum and the microscopic lesions of these larvae in the stomach wall. Forty-five specimens of L. macrosternum were collected during the

Evolution of Animal Parasitism in Nematodes of the Suborder Spirurina. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of parasitism in Spirurina by integrating ancestral state reconstruction (ASR) with a comprehensive phylogenetic framework. Our analyses reveal clear patterns of hostswitching and major transitions in host associations, providing the first broad evolutionary perspective on parasitism within this group ...

Ultrastructural morphology of second and third stage larvae of Toxocara cati inside paratenic host tissue [PDF]

Open Veterinary Journal
Background: Toxocara cati is a known cause of a zoonotic infectious illness called toxocariasis. Parathenic hosts are important as they can transmit larvae 2 (L2) through direct transmission.

Shedding light on the parasite communities and diet of the deep-sea shark Deania profundorum (Smith & Radcliffe, 1912) (Squaliform: Centrophoridae) from the Avilés Canyon (southern Bay of Biscay). [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract Deep‐sea elasmobranchs are less resilient to the increasing scale of anthropogenic impacts such as fisheries, owing to their life‐history traits. The necessity for proper management measures is hampered by the scant knowledge on these taxa and their biology. Here we provide the first comprehensive insight into the parasite infracommunities and
