Prevalence and Species Identification of Lungworms in Sheep and Cattle: A Postmortem Study in North Shewa, Central Highlands of Ethiopia. [PDF]

Vet Med Int
Lungworms are among the major nematode parasites causing significant impacts on livestock production, mortality and morbidity in young animals, and poor productivity in adult animals. Despite the widespread distribution of lungworms, there is little information in North Shewa in the central highlands of Ethiopia.

Parasitic Fauna of Free‐Living Chelonoidis denticulatus From the Rio Acre Ecological Station and the Municipality of Cruzeiro do Sul, Western Amazon, Brazil [PDF]

Vet Med Int
Tortoises, such as Chelonoidis denticulatus, are described as hosts of many parasites, such as helminths and ticks of the genus Amblyomma, which are important vectors of rickettsial infection in Brazil. Additionally, the high consumption of meat from these animals in Acre results in a high risk of zoonotic outbreaks due to contact with the hosts and ...

Whole genome sequences of nematodes of the order Strongylida [PDF]

, 2007
The order Strongylida (clade V) represents parasites most closely related to C. elegans, and the group most likely to benefit from the comparative value of its genome sequence. C. elegans has already served as an essential guide for exploring the genomes of other nematode species.

Seasonal changes in the parasite prevalence of a small Malagasy lemur species (Lepilemur edwardsi)

Integrative Zoology, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 427-439, May 2023., 2023
The folivorous Malagasy primate Lepilemur edwardsi living in the dry deciduous forests of western Madagascar shows a seasonal increase of intestinal parasite prevalence from the wet to the dry season. The increase in intestinal parasites is presumably caused by a decrease in resource availability and quality in the habitat of L. edwardsi. Ectoparasite (

A comparison of Mini-FLOTAC and McMaster techniques in detecting gastrointestinal parasites in West Africa Dwarf sheep and goats and crossbreed rabbits

Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2021
McMaster (McM) method is one of the most widely used techniques for the assessment of faecal parasites shedding in veterinary practices because of its simplicity.

Contrasting seasonal patterns in diet and dung‐associated invertebrates of feral cattle and horses in a rewilding area

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 8, Page 2071-2091, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Trophic rewilding is increasingly applied in restoration efforts, with the aim of reintroducing the ecological functions provided by large‐bodied mammals and thereby promote self‐regulating, biodiverse ecosystems. However, empirical evidence for the effects of megafauna introductions on the abundance and richness of other organisms such as ...

Prevalence of Helminthic Infections in the Gastrointestinal Tract of Cattle in Mazandaran Province (Northern Iran)

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Ruminant parasites are found in all parts of the world, including the tropical and subtropical regions. Mazandaran province (northern Iran) is one of the areas prone to the activity of gastrointestinal parasites in ruminants. This study was performed in 2020, in order to identify common parasites of cattle gastrointestinal tract, the percentage of the ...

Phylogenomic Analysis of the Phylum Nematoda: Conflicts and Congruences With Morphology, 18S rRNA, and Mitogenomes

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Phylogenetic relationships within many lineages of the phylum Nematoda remain unresolved, despite numerous morphology-based and molecular analyses. We performed several phylogenomic analyses using 286 published genomes and transcriptomes and 19 new ...

A comparative analysis of spider prey spectra analyzed through the next‐generation sequencing of individual and mixed DNA samples

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 21, Page 15444-15454, November 2021., 2021
Individual DNA sample sequencing obtains the accurate prey spectrum of spiders. Mixed DNA sample sequencing underestimates the prey spectrum of spiders. Individual and mixed DNA sample sequencing obtains almost the same relative abundance of prey sequences of spiders.
