Do Parasite Effects on Fish Body Condition Depend on Host Size and External Temperature? A Meta‐Analytic Approach

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Evaluating relationships between host body condition indices (BCIs) and parasite infections is a common approach for assessing the negative effects of parasites on host health. Researchers generally expect negative correlations between BCIs and infection levels; however, empirical results are often highly variable among host–parasite systems.

Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci for the trematode 'Gymnophallus' sp.

, 2011
Ten polymorphic loci were isolated and characterized from the intertidal New Zealand trematode 'Gymnophallus' sp., a common parasite of the abundant local bivalve 'Austrovenus stutchburyi'. Observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.17 to 0.96, and three to

Infection with the Neorickettsial Organism Stellantchasmus falcatus Agent in an Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus)

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 1‐year‐old female‐intact arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) presented for diarrhea, lethargy, severe thrombocytopenia, and hyperbilirubinemia. Blood film evaluation revealed intracytoplasmic coccoid bacteria within moderate numbers of leukocytes consistent with infection by a rickettsial organism.

Minor Risk to Contract Metazoan Parasites via the Consumption of Edible Snails, Born and Reared in France

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In a context of food security of animal consumption and diversification of protein sources, we have studied the risks to contract metazoan parasites through the consumption of ‘gros‐gris’ snails (Cornu aspersum maximum) sampled in 12 French farms.
