Effects of Vector Density on Blood Parasite Spread and Health Consequences for Avian Hosts: An Experimental Epidemiology Blueprint

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In an experimental epidemiology setup, groups of pigeons were exposed to different numbers of infective malaria vectors. Vector number explained the speed of transmission, the final prevalence, and changes in host behavior. ABSTRACT Vector density plays a critical role in the transmission dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and thus in their health and ...

Urbanization and Vector Species Shape Avian Malaria Prevalence in Mosquitoes

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Avian malaria prevalence was assessed in two mosquito species across urban and peri‐urban habitats. No infections were detected in either species in urban areas, while a 2.53% prevalence was found in the native Culex pipiens from peri‐urban sites, highlighting the influence of urbanization on parasite transmission dynamics.

Major vault protein is part of an extracellular cement material in the Atlantic salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)

Scientific Reports
Major vault protein (MVP) is the main component of the vault complex, which is a highly conserved ribonucleoprotein complex found in most eukaryotic organisms.

Making the best of lousy circumstances: the impact of salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis on depth preference of sea trout Salmo trutta

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2020
Sea trout are known for seeking out sources of freshwater to rid themselves of salmon lice. However, the effect of natural haloclines in fjords on parasite dynamics is not well understood.

Same Same, but Different: A Glossary of Carcino‐Entomology as a Basis for an Improved Communication and for a Modern View of Carcinology Encompassing Entomology

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One core aspect of science is communication, both among researchers as well as with the public. For successful communication, it is crucial that the terminology used is clear to avoid misunderstandings. Especially when researchers working on different groups of organisms communicate, they often use different terms for similar morphological ...

Sea lice as a density-dependent constraint to salmonid farming [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2012
Fisheries catches worldwide have shown no increase over the last two decades, while aquaculture has been booming. To cover the demand for fish in the growing human population, continued high growth rates in aquaculture are needed. A potential constraint to such growth is infectious diseases, as disease transmission rates are expected to increase with ...

Screening of blood and mucus parameters towards breeding for resistance to salmon louse (lepeophtheirus salmonis) in atlantic salmon [PDF]

, 2012
Over the last three decades salmon farmers have experienced serious economic hardships due to losses caused by sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestations. In the absence of an effective vaccine, inefficiency of biological control methods and growing

The control of sea lice in Atlantic salmon by selective breeding [PDF]

Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2015
Sea lice threaten the welfare of farmed Atlantic salmon and the sustainability of fish farming across the world. Chemical treatments are the major method of control but drug resistance means that alternatives are urgently needed. Selective breeding can be a cheap and effective alternative.

Five‐year assessment of wolf translocation to Isle Royale National Park, 2018–2023

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The National Park Service used a variety of methods to monitor the success of a restored wolf population on Isle Royale National Park. Abstract Gray wolf (Canis lupus) translocation is a common approach for restoring ecological function through top‐down regulation.

Behavioural Diversity of Fishes: Concepts, Drivers and Its Role in Conservation and Management

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human activity has altered nearly all ecosystems on Earth, contributing to substantial biodiversity loss across taxonomic, genetic and functional dimensions, from the intraspecific to the ecosystem scale. Yet some components of biodiversity remain hidden or underappreciated, including behavioural diversity.
