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 (

Parasitic Fauna of Free-Living <i>Chelonoidis denticulatus</i> 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 ...

An investigation into the epidemiology of Strongylidae infections in the horse in the Netherlands [PDF]

Veterinary Quarterly, 1981
Summary In a four‐year survey, the course of pasture infestation with infective larvae of Strongylidae and the pattern of development of the Strongylidae infection in the host were investigated. In this way it was hoped to obtain epidemiological data which might serve as a basis for the control of strongylidosis in the horse.
