Disease of South American camelids in England and Wales: Analysis of diagnoses from Animal and Plant Health Agency laboratory submissions between 2012 and 2021

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background South American camelids (SACs) have become increasingly popular in the UK. Consequently, knowledge among veterinary practitioners about diseases in these non‐native species has improved, although gaps remain. The remit of this study was to identify common diseases of SACs based on Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) surveillance ...

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*

Xenotransplantation, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...

Nematode Management in Okra

EDIS, 2002
Plant-parasitic nematodes are small, microscopic roundworms that live in the soil and attack the roots of plants. Crop production problems induced by nematodes therefore generally occur as a result of root dysfunction; nematodes reduce rooting volume ...

HOST MATTER: Parasite infection drives chemical reconfiguration of decomposing host and shapes insect behavioural responses

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host–parasite interactions shape ecosystems by driving species dynamics, yet their influence is typically considered in terms of host mortality rather than the chemical environments generated during infection and decomposition.

Host‐mediated filtering and interspecific associations structure strongyle parasite communities in Sable Island horses

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using individual‐level nemabiome metabarcoding of 3147 samples from 916 horses on Sable Island over 10 years, we generate the largest dataset of its kind to date. This unprecedented scale enables a rare test of the processes structuring parasite communities in a natural system, revealing dominant host‐mediated filtering and predominantly positive ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Resistance to Plant-Parasitic Nematodes in Chickpea: Current Status and Future Perspectives [PDF]

, 2019
Plant-parasitic nematodes constrain chickpea (Cicer arietinum) production, with annual yield losses estimated to be 14% of total global production. Nematode species causing significant economic damage in chickpea include root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne ...

Plant Immunity and Potential of Plant Extracts in Management of Parasitic Nematodes

, 2022
One major challenge that agricultural production faces is the presence of plant-parasitic nematodes in crop fields. Plant-parasitic nematodes cause serious plant physical injuries, the inability of plants to acquire nutrients from the soil, and weaken ...

Uncoupled Histories in the Largest Continental Arc of North America: Goodeid Fishes and Their Gyrodactylid Parasites Influenced Differently by the Trans‐Mexican Volcanic Belt

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
• The Trans‐Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) separates the Nearctic from the Neotropics. • TMVB's geology influenced diversification and distribution of endemic goodeid fishes. • Six neartic Gyrodactylus species infect goodeids within and north of the TMVB.

Urban Environments Impact Parasite Diversity and an Antipredator Response in an Amphibian Model

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Urbanization reshapes parasite–host interactions in the amphibian Pelophylax perezi, increasing blood parasite diversity and Lankesterella loads under higher anthropogenic pressure. Urban frogs also show longer flight initiation distances and tibiofibulae, indicating altered antipredator strategies.
