The global importance of ticksTicks and tick-borne diseases affect animal and human health worldwide and are the cause of significant economic losses. Approximately 10% of the currently known 867 tick species act as vectors of a broad range of pathogens of domestic animals and humans and are also responsible for damage directly due to their feeding behaviour. The most important tick species and the effects they cause a... ... hiện toàn bộ

The infection of laboratory hosts with cercariae of Schistosoma mansoni and the recovery of the adult wormsAt present many laboratories throughout the world are studying the chemotherapy and immunology of Schistosoma mansoni in laboratory hosts. Many workers judge the success or failure of their attempts to cure or immunize these hosts from the ratio of the number of living adult worms recovered to the number of infecting cercariae. This ratio is affected, however, no... ... hiện toàn bộ

Cryptosporidiumspecies in humans and animals: current understanding and research needsSUMMARY Cryptosporidium is increasingly recognized as one of the major causes of moderate to severe diarrhoea in developing countries. With treatment options limited, control relies on knowledge of the biology and transmission of the members of the genus responsible for disease. Currently, 26 species are recognized as valid on the basis of ...

Moving towards an integrated approach to molecular detection and identification ofToxoplasma gondiiSUMMARY The development of simple, sensitive and rapid methods for the detection and identification ofToxoplasma gondii is important for the diagnosis and epidemiological studies of the zoonotic disease toxoplasmosis. In the past 2 decades, molecular methods based on a variety of genetic markers have been developed, each with its advantages... ... hiện toàn bộ

Host life-history variation in response to parasitismOver half of all living species of plants and animals are parasitic, which by definition involves intimate association with and unfavourable impact on hosts (Price, 1980). This paper will only consider parasites whose ‘unfavourable impact’ adversely affects the birth and/or mortality rates of their hosts (Anderson, 1978). Most organisms are potential hosts and must deal with the problem of... ... hiện toàn bộ

A phylogenetic analysis of filarial nematodes: comparison with the phylogeny of Wolbachia endosymbiontsInfection with the endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia is widespread in filarial nematodes. Previous studies have suggested concordance between the phylogeny of Wolbachia with that of their nematode hosts. However, there is only one published molecular phylogenetic study of filarial species, based on the 5S rRNA gene spacer. The phylogeny ... ... hiện toàn bộ

A molecular phylogeny of the genus Echinococcus inferred from complete mitochondrial genomesSUMMARY Taxonomic revision by molecular phylogeny is needed to categorize members of the genus Echinococcus (Cestoda: Taeniidae). We have reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships of E. oligarthrus , E. vogeli , E. multilocularis , E. shiquicus... hiện toàn bộ

Patterns of macroparasite aggregation in wildlife host populationsFrequency distributions from 49 published wildlife host–macroparasite
systems were analysed by maximum likelihood for
goodness of fit to the negative binomial distribution. In 45 of the 49
(90%) data-sets, the negative binomial distribution
provided a statistically satisfactory fit. In the other 4 data-sets the
negative binomial distribution still provided a better
fit than the Poiss... ... hiện toàn bộ

Analysis of aggregation, a worked example: numbers of ticks on red grouse chicksThe statistical aggregation of parasites among hosts is often described empirically by the negative binomial (Poisson-gamma) distribution. Alternatively, the Poisson-lognormal model can be used. This has the advantage that it can be fitted as a generalized linear mixed model, thereby quantifying the sources of aggregation in terms of both fixed and random effects. We give a worked example,... ... hiện toàn bộ

Wildlife disease and conservation in Hawaii: Pathogenicity of avian malaria (Plasmodium relictum) in experimentally infected Iiwi (Vestiaria coccinea)SUMMARY Native Hawaiian forest birds are facing a major extinction crisis with more than 75% of species recorded in historical times either extinct or endangered. Reasons for this catastrophe include habitat destruction, competition with non-native species, and introduction of predators and avian diseases. We tested susceptibility of Iiwi (Vestiaria coc... ... hiện toàn bộ
