Conservation of Host, Translocation of Parasites—Monitoring of Helminths during Population Reinforcement of the European Ground Squirrel (Spermophilus citellus)

Diversity, 2023
Gastrointestinal helminth parasites can be transferred during conservation translocations and impact their outcome. The current study applied non-invasive coprological sampling to investigate the helminth infection rates and dynamics in translocated and ...

Filariasis Control in Coastal Nigeria: Predictive Significance of Baseline Entomological Indices of Anopheles gambiae s.l. (Diptera: Culicidae)

International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
This work aimed at collecting filariasis transmission data of Anopheles gambiae to be used in predicting future trends in filariasis transmission and control programme outcomes. Collection of the mosquitoes was made by human landing catch and light trap methods. In all, 5,813 females were caught from September 2005 to August 2006.

Environmental niche models improve species identification in DNA barcoding

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, Page 2343-2358, December 2024.
Abstract Recent advances in DNA barcoding have immeasurably advanced global biodiversity research in the last two decades. However, inherent limitations in barcode sequences, such as hybridization, introgression or incomplete lineage sorting can lead to misidentifications when relying solely on barcode sequences.

Another tool in the toolbox: Aphid‐specific Wolbachia protect against fungal pathogens

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 11, November 2024.
Wolbachia infected more than 80% of Pentalonia aphids sampled across the Hawaiian Islands and other locations. The aphid‐specific M‐supergroup strains of this symbiont protected against a specialist fungal pathogen, Pandora, but not the generalist pathogen Beauveria or the parasitoid Aphidius colemanii.

First molecular identification of Haemonchus contortus (Nematoda: Trichostrongylidae), a blood‐sucking gastric nematode of artiodactyles, in the ground beetle Carabus granulatus (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 361-365, September 2024.
Twenty‐six individuals of Carabus granulatus were screened for the presence of the DNA of pathogenic gastrointestinal nematodes of ruminants inhabiting the Białowieża Primeval Forest. In six insects, the presence of the DNA of blood‐sucking abomasal nematode, Haemonchus contortus was detected.

Sharing without Caring: High Prevalence and Similarity of Potentially Zoonotic Gastrointestinal Helminths in Two Sympatric Nonhuman Primates in a Tropical Resource Reserve

International Journal of Ecology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Nonhuman primates (NHPs) are threatened globally, with infectious diseases ranking among the major threat factors. NHPs may also harbor zoonotic pathogens that may spillover to humans, making the surveillance of infectious diseases and parasite infestations in NHPs of conservation and public health important.
