Evolution of Animal Parasitism in Nematodes of the Suborder Spirurina. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of parasitism in Spirurina by integrating ancestral state reconstruction (ASR) with a comprehensive phylogenetic framework. Our analyses reveal clear patterns of hostswitching and major transitions in host associations, providing the first broad evolutionary perspective on parasitism within this group ...

Zoonotic Parasites in Marmosets (Callithrix Spp.) From Southern Brazil: Insights From a One Health Perspective. [PDF]

J Med Primatol
ABSTRACT Background Currently, six species of Callithrix are frequently observed in anthropized and degraded environments in different regions of Brazil. This occupation favors interactions with humans and increases the risk of infection by parasites with zoonotic potential.

Intestinal Parasite Community Dynamics in the Critically Endangered Chinese Alligator (<i>Alligator sinensis</i>): Multifactorial Insights From 18S rRNA Amplicon Sequencing. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our results firstly demonstrate the structure of parasite communities in A. sinensis and clarify how they are shaped by interacting ecological and management factors, providing critical baseline data for future research. ABSTRACT The intestinal parasite communities of vertebrates are shaped by complex interactions among biological, environmental, and ...

How effective are entomopathogenic nematodes for vine weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) biological control? A meta-analysis. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Entomopathogenic nematodes provide reliable biological control of vine weevil larvae, reducing populations by 63% on average. All five tested species are effective, with temperature (18–30 °C) being the strongest predictor of success. Abstract BACKGROUND Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) is a globally important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops

Genotypic Analysis of <i>Enterobius vermicularis</i> (Rhabditida: Oxyuridae, Linnaeus, 1758) Among Infected Individuals in Bulgaria: A First Phylogenetic Study. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Enterobiasis, caused by the nematode Enterobius vermicularis, remains a widespread public health issue, yet data regarding its genetic structure in Southeast Europe are scarce. This study presents the first molecular and phylogenetic characterization of E. vermicularis isolates from Bulgaria.

Development of a TaqMan qPCR Method for Detecting <i>Angiostrongylus cantonensis</i> (Rhabditida: Angiostrongylidae) Infection in Snails from Hainan Province, China. [PDF]

Trop Med Infect Dis
Angiostrongylus cantonensis (A. cantonensis) is the primary causative agent of human angiostrongyliasis and is widely distributed in Southeast Asia and China, with increasing reports from the Americas. Achatina fulica (A. fulica), Pomacea canaliculata (P. canaliculata), and slugs constitute established intermediate hosts of A.

Blood Parasites and Wildlife: The Development of a Discipline. [PDF]

Integr Zool
Changes in our knowledge on blood parasite infections of wild animals in the last 30 years is reviewed with emphasis on taxonomy and phylogeny, impact of infections on fitness, and distribution of blood parasites. ABSTRACT In the last 30 years, the area of the study of parasitism caused by blood parasite infections on wildlife has suffered an ...

Re-assessing the infection strategies of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema feltiae (Rhabditidae; Steinernematidae) [PDF]

Parasitology, 2000
Previous studies have indicated that between 60 and 80% of a population of entomopathogenic nematodes do not infect their insect hosts at any one period in time. Two hypotheses explain this behaviour: the first that there is a subpopulation of non-infectious nematodes and the second that the non-infectious group is created by inhibitory cues derived ...

Diversity of Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus spp. and their symbiotic entomopathogenic nematodes from Thailand [PDF]

, 2012
Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus spp. are bacterial symbionts of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs). In this study, we isolated and characterized Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus spp.
