Reproductive aspects of the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera:Culicidae) infected with Wuchereria bancrofti (Spirurida: Onchocercidae) [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2003 This study reports on the relationship between Wuchereria bancrofti infection and female body size, intake of blood and fecundity in the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus, vector of this filarial parasite in Recife (Brazil). Adults from field collected larvae were infected via a membrane feeding procedure, using blood with parasitaemia ranging from 724-6,

Metabarcoding options to study eukaryotic endoparasites of birds
Ecology 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

Ecology 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.

Zoo 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.

Journal 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 ...

The first feline and new canine cases of Thelazia callipaeda (Spirurida: Thelaziidae) infection in Hungary [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2018 In Europe, the first Thelazia callipaeda infections were found in the eyes of some dogs in Italy three decades ago. Since that time, this vector-borne nematode species has been diagnosed in domestic and wild carnivores and humans in some western European countries. During the last few years, autochthonous thelaziosis of dogs, red foxes, cats and humans

The role of wild canids and felids in spreading parasites to dogs and cats in Europe. Part II: Helminths and arthropods. [PDF]
, 2015 Over the last few decades, ecological factors, combined with everchanging landscapes mainly linked to human activities (e.g. encroachment and tourism) have contributed to modifications in the transmission of parasitic diseases from domestic to wildlife ...

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