Toxocara spp. infections in paratenic hosts

Veterinary Parasitology, 2013
The zoonotic roundworms Toxocara canis and T. cati are not only present worldwide in their definitive hosts; they also frequently occur in other animal species, including humans. In those so-called paratenic hosts, the larvae do not develop into the adult stage, but rather migrate throughout the somatic tissue and persist as infectious L3 stage for ...

Paratenic hosts of Angiostrongylus cantonensis and their relation to human neuroangiostrongyliasis globally

One Health, 2022
The nematode parasite Angiostrongylus cantonensis (rat lungworm) has a complex life cycle involving rats (definitive hosts) and gastropods (intermediate hosts), as well as various paratenic hosts.

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 ...

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

Ultrastructural morphology of second and third-stage larvae of <i>Toxocara cati</i> inside paratenic host tissue. [PDF]

Open Vet J
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.

To grow or not to grow? Intermediate and paratenic hosts as helminth life cycle strategies [PDF]

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2009
Larval helminths in intermediate hosts often stop growing long before their growth is limited by host resources, and do not grow at all in paratenic hosts. We develop our model [Ball, M.A., Parker, G.A., Chubb, J.C., 2008. The evolution of complex life cycles when parasite mortality is size- or time-dependent. J. Theor. Biol.
