Long-term spatiotemporal stability and dynamic changes in the haemoparasite community of spiny mice (Acomys dimidiatus) in four montane wadis in the St. Katherine Protectorate, Sinai, Egypt [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Long-term field studies of parasite communities are rare but provide a powerful insight into the ecological processes shaping host-parasite interactions. The aim of our study was to monitor long-term trends in the haemoparasite communities of

Factors affecting the component community structure of haemoparasites in bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) from the Mazury Lake District region of Poland [PDF]

, 2001
The prevalence and abundance of infections with haemoparasites were studied over a 3 year period in Clethrionomys glareolus (bank vole, n=420) sampled from forests in the NE of Poland. Total species richness was 5 (Prevalence=Haemobartonella sp.

Trypanosoma musculi infections in normocomplementemic, C5-deficient, and C3-depleted mice. [PDF]

Infect Immun, 1977
The role of complement in host resistance to infection with Trypanosoma musculi was studied in normal, C5-deficient, and C3-depleted mice. Infections in normocomplementemic strains (CBA and B10.D2/n) were generally similar to those in strains genetically deficient in C5 (A and B10.D2/o). There were no differences in

Differences in resistance to Trypanosoma musculi infection among strains of inbred mice. [PDF]

Infect Immun, 1981
Inbred strains of mice were inoculated with Trypanosoma musculi, and the course of the ensuing parasitemia was followed. The mouse strains fell into three groups: those displaying high and moderate (fivefold less) parasitemia and C57BL/6 (B/6) mice which had exceptionally low infections.

Metal ions in macrophage antimicrobial pathways: emerging roles for zinc and copper [PDF]

, 2013
The immunomodulatory and antimicrobial properties of zinc and copper have long been appreciated. In addition, these metal ions are also essential for microbial growth and survival.

History of human parasitology.

, 2002
Humans are hosts to nearly 300 species of parasitic worms and over 70 species of protozoa, some derived from our primate ancestors and some acquired from the animals we have domesticated or come in contact with during our relatively short history on ...

Laboratory and Field Studies on Herpetosoma Trypanosomes From Portugal [PDF]

, 1993
Several small mammals were trapped in the Arrabida region (Portugal) and checked for the presence of trypanosomes which were found in 33 of the 197 (11.1 %) Mus spretus and in 9 of the 29 (31 %) Crocidura russula observed.

Spillover of Trypanosoma lewisi and Trypanosoma musculi Allied Trypanosomes from Rodents to Bats in the Roofs of Human Dwellings: Synanthropic Bats as a Potential New Source of Human Opportunistic Trypanosomes

Zoonotic Diseases
Bats and rodents serve as reservoirs for numerous zoonotic pathogens, including species of Trypanosoma and Leishmania. Domestic rats host the flea-transmitted Trypanosoma (Herpetosoma) lewisi, which can be associated with humans, particularly young or ...
