Intestinal parasite infection exposes grouse to canine predators
Background Sublethal parasite infections may cause mortality indirectly by exposing the host to predation. The best known example of this among birds is red grouse in which caecal nematode infection causes increased risk of predation and can even affect population dynamics [1]. Intestinal helminth parasites are common in forest grouse, capercaillie Tetrao urogallus, black grouse Tetrao tetrix a...

متن کاملParasite predators exhibit a rapid numerical response to increased parasite abundance and reduce transmission to hosts
Predators of parasites have recently gained attention as important parts of food webs and ecosystems. In aquatic systems, many taxa consume free-living stages of parasites, and can thus reduce parasite transmission to hosts. However, the importance of the functional and numerical responses of parasite predators to disease dynamics is not well understood. We collected host-parasite-predator cooc...
متن کاملRelationship between Intestinal Parasite Infection and Anemic Patients
Background: We wanted to investigate the relationship between intestinal parasitic infection and anaemic patients. Methods: stool samples were examined for Protozoa and Helminths infection by routine microscopy and blood samples were performed using the electronic cell counter Coulter. Results: Out of 592 samples 277(46.79%) were positive among them Entamoeba histolytica 80(28%), Ancylostoma du...
