Cystacanths of Bolbosoma (Acanthocephala: Polymorphidae) from Six Species of Marine Fish around Japan, with Molecular Information

Species Diversity
Acanthocephalans in the polymorphid genus Bolbosoma Porta, 1908 utilize marine mammals and seabirds as the definitive host, and marine fish as the paratenic host. As in many other groups of acanthocephalans, morphology-based species identification at the

Environmental modulators on the development of the raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis): Effects of temperature on the embryogenesis

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Members of the Ascarididae family are common zoonotic pathogens in humans and play an economic role in domestic and livestock animal husbandry. This family includes the obligatorily parasitic nematodes of the genus Baylisascaris, with the raccoon ...

An improved method for artificial infection of the European eel, Anguilla anguilla, with Anguillicola crassus (Nematoda, Dracunculoidea)

, 1990
A standardized method was developed for artificially infecting the European eel with Anguillicola crassus, a parasitical swim bladder nematode. For this purpose, an intermediate host, Paracyclops fimbriatus, and a paratenic host, Cyprinus carpio, were ...

Emerg Infect Dis

Diphyllobothriosis is a reemerging zoonotic disease because of global trade and increased popularity of eating raw fish. We present molecular evidence of host switching of a human-infecting broad fish tapeworm, Dibothriocephalus latus, and use of ...

The conquest of the north continues: Baylisascaris procyonis in free-ranging invasive raccoons (Procyon lotor) from Germany, including a first report in the northeastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
With exception of the Northeast, the raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis) is widespread in Germany. This zoonotic parasite can cause neurological disease in paratenic and aberrant hosts, like humans.

Completing the first molecular and morphological characterised life cycle of a crocodilian-infecting diplostomid, Neofibricola smiti (Digenea: Diplostomidae)

Parasitology
The life cycles of trematodes infecting crocodilians remain poorly understood, with most species known exclusively from adult stages recovered from definitive hosts.

The genetics of host adaptation in the parasitic plant Striga hermonthica [PDF]

, 2013
The obligately outbreeding root hemiparasite Striga hermonthica (Orobanchaceae)is a serious threat to subsistence agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. Resistance to this parasite in its crop hosts, such as rice, sorghum and maize, is not common, and the ...
