Diversity of parasites in Curimata incompta (Curimatidae), a host from Amazon river system in Brazil.
(Journal of Parasitic Diseases, v. 40, n. 4, p. 1296-1300, Dec. 2016., 2016)
Amplicon sequencing reveals complex infection in infants congenitally infected with Trypanosoma cruzi and informs the dynamics of parasite transmission.
(Oxford University Press, 2023)
Congenital transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi is an important source of new Chagas infections worldwide. The mechanisms of congenital transmission remain poorly understood, but there is evidence that parasite factors are ...
Parasite infracommunities of leporinus friderici: A comparison of three tributaries of the jurumirim reservoir in southeastern Brazil
(2017-01-01)
The degradation and homogenization of natural habitats is considered a major cause of biotic homogenization. Many studies have been undertaken on the effects of dams on aquatic wildlife, in particular fish assemblages. But ...
Ecological implications of floods on the parasite communities of two freshwater catfishes in a Neotropical floodplain
(2017-06-01)
The parasite communities of two freshwater catfishes (Auchenipterus osteomystax and Trachelyopterus galeatus) were analyzed during the dry and rainy seasons in a Neotropical floodplain. The nature of river-floodplain systems ...
Specialist versus generalist parasites: the interactions between host diversity, environment and geographic barriers in avian malaria
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021)
© 2021 Australian Society for ParasitologyThe specialist versus generalist strategies of hemoparasites in relation to their avian host, as well as environmental factors, can influence their prevalence, diversity and ...
Avian host composition, local speciation and dispersal drive the regional assembly of avian malaria parasites in South American birds
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-05)
Identifying the ecological factors that shape parasite distributions remains a central goal in disease ecology. These factors include dispersal capability, environmental filters and geographic distance. Using 520 haemosporidian ...
Variety matters: adaptive genetic diversity and parasite load in two mouse opossums from the Brazilian Atlantic forest
(SPRINGER, 2010)
The adaptive potential of a species to a changing environment and in disease defence is primarily based on genetic variation. Immune genes, such as genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), may thereby be of ...
