Host diversity begets parasite diversity: bird final hosts and trematodes in snail intermediate hosts.
An unappreciated facet of biodiversity is that rich communities and high abundance may foster parasitism. For parasites that sequentially use different host species throughout complex life cycles, parasite diversity and abundance in 'downstream' hosts should logically increase with the diversity and abundance of 'upstream' hosts (which carry the preceding stages of parasites). Surprisingly, thi...
متن کاملThe Possible Snail Intermediate Hosts of Dicrocoelium Hospes in Nigeria
Fashuyi S. A., G. O. Adeoye: The Possible Snail Intermediate Hosts of Dicrocoelium hospes in Nigeria. Acta vet. Brno, 55, 1986: 85 -88. Limicolaria /lammea. L. striatula and Lamellaxis gracilis were experimentally infected with larval stages of Dicrocoelium hospes after exposure to embryonated eggs. Limicolaria proved to be more suitable, showing higher infection rates, more mature cercariae an...
متن کاملCommunity Structure : Larval Trematodes in Snail Hosts
In species assemblages of larval trematodes in individual snail hosts, fewer multispecies infections are observed than might be expected by chance. Both interspecific competition and the isolating effect of heterogeneity inrecruitment may explain this pattern of community structure. Here, we analyzed the expected and observed frequency of double infections, using data culled from 62 studies. Ou...

متن کاملIn vitro culture of marine trematodes from their snail first intermediate host.
The ability to culture parasites outside their host (i.e. in vitro) is essential for several aspects of parasitological research. Here, a culture medium for marine trematode parthenitae was optimized using Philophthalmus sp. rediae from the intermediate snail host, Zeacumantus subcarinatus. The medium was optimized by sequentially testing the suitability of different levels of osmolality, diffe...
