Taxonomic Distinctness and Richness of Helminth Parasite Assemblages of Freshwater Fishes in Mexican Hydrological Basins

In this paper, we analyse the distributional patterns of adult helminth parasites of freshwater fishes with respect to the main hydrological basins of Mexico. We use the taxonomic distinctness and the variation in taxonomic distinctness to explore patterns of parasite diversity and how these patterns change between zoogeographical regions. We address questions about the factors that determine t...

New records about helminth parasites of the marsh frog, Rana ridibunda ridibunda (Anura: Ranidae) from the north of Iran

A field trials were conducted to assess the helminth parasites of 12 marsh frogs (Rana ridibunda ridibunda) in the Anzali, Astara and Aghbaba regions in the north of Iran in May 1994. Experimental results showed that 83.8% of the Anzali marsh frogs were infected by one or two kinds of metacercarian cysts of digenetic trematodes. The helminth parasites were included Skrjabinoeces breviansa, S. s...

[The helminth fauna structure of wild rodents from differential sites of Wrocław area].

The parasite fauna of rodents was studied in the Wrocław area from 2001 to 2005. The first location was irrigation fields (Wrocław Osobowice), the second--a water distribution area (Wrocław Mokry Dwór). Helminthological material was collected during parasitological examination of 447 specimens of wildlife rodents (belonging to 7 species of Muridae). The helminth population and the helminth comm...
