Experimental removal of nematode parasites increases growth, sprint speed, and mating success in brown anole lizards. [PDF]
J Exp Zool A Ecol Integr Physiol, 2022 Nematode parasites are costly to juvenile brown anoles, Anolis sagrei, in terms of growth. Nematode parasite removal increased over winter growth in snout‐vent length for juvenile brown anoles. Abstract Parasites interact with nearly all free‐living organisms and can impose substantial fitness costs by reducing host survival, mating success, and ...

Molecular phylogenies provide insights into the evolutionary relationships of the Spirurida (Nematoda), with special emphasis on the superfamily Physalopteroidea. [PDF]
Parasit VectorsBackground Nematodes of the order Spirurida are of significant veterinary, medical, and economic importance. However, current knowledge of the phylogenetic relationships within the order is far from comprehensive.

Rasheedia n. nom. (Nematoda, Physalopteridae) for Bulbocephalus Rasheed, 1966 (a homonym of Bulbocephalus Watson, 1916), with description of Rasheedia heptacanthi n. sp. and R. novaecaledoniensis n. sp. from perciform fishes off New Caledonia. [PDF]
Parasite, 2018 The nematode genus Bulbocephalus Rasheed, 1966 (Nematoda, Physalopteridae) was found to be a homonym of Bulbocephalus Watson, 1916 (Apicomplexa) and, therefore, a new name, Rasheedia n. nom., is proposed to substitute it.
