Emerging pathogenic strongylid infections in Virunga Massif mountain gorillas: Role of environmental stressors

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
These findings highlight an emerging health threat for mountain gorillas, with implications for other isolated wildlife populations facing similar ecological and evolutionary pressures. The study calls for continued monitoring of parasitic diseases in wildlife populations, especially those in fragmented habitats with limited capacity for expansion, to ...

Characterization of Gastrointestinal Parasites in Grazing Sheep in Mountain, Piedmont, and Savanna Conditions of Casanare, Colombia

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Gastrointestinal parasitosis represents a significant constraint on sheep productivity in Colombian tropical production systems; however, their regional epidemiological dynamics remain insufficiently characterized. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize the prevalence, associations, coinfestations, and health‐related correlations of

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

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
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 ...

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.
We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.
