Several species of invertebrate animals have been reported as intermediate or as paratenic hosts for the rat lungworm, Angiostrongylus cantonensis. Intermediate hosts which have been found naturally infected include: the land snails, Bradybaena stmMaris, Opeas javanicum, Macrochlamys resplendens, Achatina fulica, Pupina complanata, and Subulina octona; the slugs, Deroceras laeve, Vaginalus pleb...

The Southern Ocean is one of the most exposed regions to climate-related changes on our planet. Better understanding current biodiversity and past speciation events, as well implementation conservation actions accurate identification organisms species level in this unique environment, fundamental. In study, two sea stars, Odontaster roseus Janosik & Halanych, 2010 pearsei 2010, are reported...

Abstract The evolutionary history and biogeography of species is strongly influenced by climatic conditions geomorphology. Most thermophilic organisms in Europe have survived colder periods Mediterranean refugia, which can be inferred from their genetic structure. band-winged grasshopper genus Oedipoda occurs with nine the Mediterranean. We phylogeny western Palaearctic using gene sequences (tw...

There is an extensive lack of information on the parasitic fauna accompanying cartilaginous fish in Peru.
