Effects of malathion on embryonic development and latent susceptibility to trematode parasites in ranid tadpoles.
We investigated the effects of embryonic exposure to the widely used organophosphate malathion (15-600 micro/L) on the early development and latent susceptibility of pickerel frog (Rana palustris) tadpoles to the trematode parasite Echinostoma trivolvis. The latent effects of contaminant exposure are rarely examined but could have important implications for individual survival and population vi...

This little pamphlet is a United States Government publication, the seventeenth bulletin of the Hygenic Laboratory. It consists of 52 pages of letterpress with 88 excellent illustrations, and in addition a bibliography and two indices. It has been written in response to recent requests to the author for information in regard to the trematodes which are parasitic to man, and is offered as a read...
متن کاملSynchronous attack is advantageous: mixed genotype infections lead to higher infection success in trematode parasites.
Co-infecting parasite genotypes typically compete for host resources limiting their fitness. The intensity of such competition depends on whether parasites are reproducing in a host, or using it primarily as a transmission vehicle while not multiplying in host tissues (referred to as 'competition hypothesis'). Alternatively, simultaneous attack and co-infection by several parasite genotypes mig...
متن کاملHospital-physician relations: the relative importance of economic, relational and professional attributes to organizational attractiveness
BACKGROUND Belgian hospitals face a growing shortage of physicians and increasingly competitive market conditions. In this challenging environment hospitals are struggling to build effective hospital-physician relationships which are considered to be a critical determinant of organizational success. METHODS Employed physicians of a University hospital were surveyed. Organizational attributes ...
متن کاملSpatial variation in susceptibility to infection in a snail-trematode interaction.
Parasites should be better at infecting hosts from sympatric populations than allopatric populations most of the time (parasite local adaptation). In a previous study of a population of snail parasites (Microphallus sp.) from Lake Alexandrina, New Zealand, we found that Microphallus was more infective to snails (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) in shallow water but not in deep water. Here, we repeated...
