Parasitological and molecular study of Toxocara spp. in Lumbericus terrestricus earthworms
Bulgarian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2020 Soil-associated invertebrates which are coprophagic are capable of acting as paratenic hosts for Toxocara species larvae eggs. The aim of the present study was to assess the role of Lumbricus terrestris earthworms as potential intermediate host for ...

Revenge of the host: Cannibalism, ontogenetic niche shifts, and the evolution of life-history strategies in host-parasitoid systems [PDF]
, 2012 Question: How does cannibalism in the host alter the evolution of a parasitoid’s oviposition strategy? Can differences in cannibalism risk between parasitized vs. healthy hosts alter the stage foraging of parasitoids?

Can parasites use predators to spread between primary hosts?
, 2013 Parasites typically have low reproductive fitness on paratenic hosts. Such hosts offer other significant inclusive fitness benefits to parasites, however, such as increased mobility and migration potential.

Responses of a bacterial pathogen to phosphorus limitation of its aquatic invertebrate host [PDF]
, 2008 Host nutrition is thought to affect the establishment, persistence, and severity of pathogenic infections. Nutrient-deficient foods possibly benefit pathogens by constraining host immune function or benefit hosts by limiting parasite growth and ...

The fitness of African malaria vectors in the presence and limitation of host behaviour [PDF]
, 2012 <p>Background Host responses are important sources of selection upon the host species range of ectoparasites and phytophagous insects. However little is known about the role of host responses in defining the host species range of malaria vectors.

Seven challenges in modelling pathogen dynamics within-host and across scales [PDF]
, 2014 The population dynamics of infectious disease is a mature field in terms of theory and to some extent, application. However for microparasites, the theory and application of models of the dynamics within a single infected host is still an open field ...

Experimental infection with T. canis and T. leonina in farm mink (Neovison vison)
Journal of Veterinary Research, 2019 Introduction: Farm mink (Neovison vison) can be naturally exposed to T. canis and T. leonina pathogens on the farm. If mink were hosts, it would imply some veterinary public health as well as animal welfare issues.

Interrelations of acanthocephala with paratenic hosts (morphological aspect)
, 2016 Encapsulation peculiarities of acanthocephalans and their tegument organization depending on the species relation of paratenic host were considered. On the basis of our study results and literature data a hypothesis about two strategies of interrelations

Presence of Anti-Toxocara canis antibodies in sheep [PDF]
, 2014 Toxocariasis is one of the most commonly reported helminth zoonotic infections throughout the world. Its main etiologic agent is the Toxocara canis nematode, and less frequently Toxocara cati, whose final hosts are the dog and cat respectively [6, 9 ...
