Identification and Morphological Variation of an Invasive Parasite in Introduced and Native Lizards [PDF]

, 2019
Exotic species can threaten biodiversity by introducing parasites to native hosts. Thus, it is critical to identify if the same parasite species is infecting both native and exotic hosts.

The distribution of cephalic sense organs in four species ofRaillietiella(Pentastomida: Cephalobaenida)

Parasitology, 1985
Scanning electron microscope observations of the frontal papillae and peribuccal cuticle of four species of raillietiellid pentastomids have shown an array of sensilla which are grouped in characteristic patterns. The arrangement of sensilla is remarkably uniform within the species studied and it cannot be used in specific diagnosis. Possible functions

Associations of Mitochondria with Desmosome-Like Structures in the Oocytes of Raillietiella aegypti (Pentastomida, Cephalobaenida)

Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1985
Abstract The oocytes of the cephalobaenid Pentastomid Rail­lietiella aegypti were studied by electron microscopy. A prominent feature of vitellogenic oocytes are numerous spherical, oval and elongated mitochondria. Some of these are shown with desmosome-like structures.

Patterns of Parasite Infection Dynamics during a Biological Invasion [PDF]

, 2017
Biological invasions may impact native ecosystems by affecting host-parasite dynamics. Introduced species can harbor parasites transported from their native range and these parasites can spillover to infect native taxa, often with deleterious effects ...
