AbstractContamination of soil with helminth eggs in the samples of fields, kitchen gardens, yards and composts in rural areas of Lodz district (Poland) was investigated. In this study, helminth eggs were found in 60–100 % of field samples, in 20–100 % of yards samples, in 0–20 % of kitchen gardens samples and in 10–100 % of composts. The highest ave...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractThe effect of Cu and Zn on soil nematode communities at the depth of 0–20 cm was investigated along a pollution gradient with increasing distance from a copper smelter in Northeast China. The results showed that the abundance of total nematodes significantly increased with increasing distance from the smelter, and nematode taxon richness als...... hiện toàn bộ
AbstractParasitic helminths were the probable cause of death of 41 passeriform birds (29 adults and 12 juveniles in their first year of life) caught in the net during the spring and autumn ringing (1986–2010). The birds (1 Chaffinch Fringilla coelebs, 1 House Martin Delichon urbica, 2 Blue Tit Cyanistes caeruleus, 9 Great Tit Parus major, 3 Willow T...... hiện toàn bộ
