Metabarcoding options to study eukaryotic endoparasites of birds

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 16, Page 10821-10833, August 2021., 2021
Parasites of birds are extremely diverse, spanning no less than four different kingdoms (Chromista, Protozoa, Metazoa and Fungi). Our understanding of these communities and their fascinating interactions could benefit from metabarcoding approaches. This report provides a side‐by‐side comparison of different metabarcoding options for a broad description

Noninvasively measured immune responses reflect current parasite infections in a wild carnivore and are linked to longevity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 12, Page 7685-7699, June 2021., 2021
Host immune defenses are important components of host–parasite interactions that affect the outcome of infection and may have fitness consequences when increased allocation of resources to immune responses undermines other essential life processes.

Pterygodermatites nycticebi infections in golden lion tamarins (Leontopithecus rosalia rosalia) and aye‐ayes (Daubentonia madagascariensis) from a German zoo

open access: yesZoo Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 59-64, January/February 2021., 2021
Pterygodermatites nycticebi adult nematode stages were observed after stress‐induced defecation of infected primates. After necropsy, adult Pterygodermatites spp. were identified in histopathological samples of intestine and pancreas. Third‐stage larvae of Pterygodermatites spp.

Assessing the Filariasis Causing Parasites in Adult Mosquitoes and the Vector Mosquito Larval Breeding in Selected Medical Officer of Health Areas in Gampaha District, Sri Lanka

open access: yesJournal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of filariasis causing parasites in adult mosquitoes and vector mosquito larval breeding in four Medical Officer of Health (MOH) areas in Gampaha district, Sri Lanka. Adult female mosquitoes at their resting places were collected using a prokopack aspirator operated twice a day from 7.00 am to ...

Parasite infections in a social carnivore: Evidence of their fitness consequences and factors modulating infection load [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
There are substantial individual differences in parasite composition and infection load in wildlife populations. Few studies have investigated the factors shaping this heterogeneity in large wild mammals or the impact of parasite infections on Darwinian ...
