rodent ectoparasites seems have a main role in transmission of some zoonotic pathogens from commensal rats to human and pets such as leishmaniasis, plague, cchf, etc. so rodents as the main reservoirs, are potential health dangers in human communities. the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and frequency of identified ectoparasites in north of tehran . rodents were captured with ...

The article provides information on the common ectoparasites epizootiology among cattle.

in many parts of the world there is a rich tradition in the use of herbal medicine for the treatment of many infectious diseases. because of the side effects and the resistance that pathogenic microorganisms build against the antibiotics, much recent attention has been paid to extract the biologically active compounds from plant species used in herbal medicine. in this study different parts of ...

A study was carried out to identify and estimate the prevalence of ecto- and endoparasites of village chicken between April and July 2008 in three local councils of Enugu state, Nigeria. A total of 1038 chickens comprising of 468 chicks, 207 growers and 363 adults were examined during the house to house survey for ectoparasites, gastrointestinal helminths and coccidia infections. Our finding sh...

We captured mormoopids, phyllostomids, and vespertilionids in Honduras to collect bat ectoparasites. Two species of Spinturnicidae (Acari) are the first reports this family Honduras. One Basilia Miranda Ribeiro, 1903, four Streblidae recorded for time With these results, current number each two Spinturnicidae, three Nycteribiidae, 48 Streblidae. compared bats highly sampled countries Central So...

Our study highlights the surveillance of Bartonella species among rodents and their associated ectoparasites (ticks, fleas, lice, and mites) in several regions across Thailand. A total of 619 rodents and 554 pooled ectoparasites (287 mite pools, 62 flea pools, 35 louse pools, and 170 tick pools) were collected from 8 provinces within 4 regions of Thailand. Bandicota indica (279), Rattus rattus ...

A study of the associations between three species of rodents in the Atlantic forest and their parasitic arthropods was undertaken at the Juréia-Itatins Ecological Station, located in the State of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, from March 1989 to February 1990. Individuals of three species, Oryzomys russatus, Proechimys iheringi and Nectomys squamipes were captured and examined for ectoparasite...

Ectoparasites frequently vector pathogens from often unknown pathogen reservoirs to both human and animal populations. Simultaneous identification of the ectoparasite species, the wildlife host that provided their most recent blood meal(s), and their pathogen load would greatly facilitate the understanding of the complex transmission dynamics of vector-borne diseases. Currently, these identific...

21 Introduction The ectoparasites associated with Virginia opossums (Didelphis virginiana), raccoons (Procyon lotor) and striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis) have been reported from several regions within the United States. For example , ectoparasites of opossums have previously been However, there are relatively few records of ectoparasites of wild mammals from Nebraska and no detailed studies o...

We delineate a mathematical model for the dynamics of the spread of ectoparasites and the diseases transmitted by them. We present how the dynamics of the system depends on the three reproduction numbers belonging to three of the four possible equilibria and give a complete characterization of the structure of the global attractor in each possible case depending on the reproduction numbers. Key...
