The red fox (Vulpes vulpes L.) has the widest global distribution among terrestrial carnivore species and is an important reservoir for a range of parasites. Investigations on parasitic fauna foxes have intensified in recent years Serbia, resulting detection some parasites that not been recorded before. Within Programme Control Eradication Rabies from January to March 2019, 52 legally hunted we...

A total of 34 fishes, belonging to the yellow-finned sea bream Acanthopagrus latus were collected, in April 2008 from Khor Abdullah northwest Arabian Gulf, by using trawler net. Fishes surveyed for parasites. The study revealed presence two species parasites first one is a monogenetic trematode, Polylabris mamaevi and second digenetic Paradiscogaster farooqii. detection P. farooqii present repr...

Cleaning behaviour has generally been viewed from the cleaner or client's point of view. Few studies, however, have examined cleaning behaviour from the parasites' perspective, yet they are the equally-important third players in such associations. All three players are likely to have had their evolution affected by the association. As cleaner organisms are important predators of parasites, clea...

parasites of lizards has recently become the subject of sectional interests. In the absence of any objective criteria for classifying the group, two nomenclatures have come into current usage. Workers with interests in the natural history of the lizard parasites have emphasized the features that distinguish lizard and mammalian parasites and have tended to give the lizard parasites generic rank...

White-tailed deer are susceptible to infection by numerous gastrointestinal parasites. Not all parasite infections cause clinical disease, but even subclinical parasitism may reduce the health and productivity of infected deer. An understanding epidemiology is critical improving captive through effective control strategies. This publication will serve as a guide common parasites farmed white-ta...

We present a model for host-parasite dynamics which incorporates both vertical and horizontal transmission as well as spatial structure. Our model consists of stacked contact processes (CP), where the dynamics of the host is a simple CP on a lattice while the dynamics of the parasite is a secondary CP which sits on top of the host-occupied sites. In the simplest case, where infection does not i...

A total of 128 spiny eels Mastacembelus mastacembelus (Mastacembelidae) were collected from theGreater Zab river at Iski Kalak town, west of Erbil city, Kurdistan region, Iraq, from July 2007 to the end ofJune 2008.

Intestinal parasites of swine are still present under conditions of modern swine management and can have a significant impact on growth rate and feed efficiency. Diagnosis of intestinal parasites can be accomplished by demonstrating adult parasites in feces or at necropsy, and by demonstrating eggs in feces. This article details a protocol for sampling fecal material to diagnose intestinal para...
