Marketed swamp eels generally derived from natural caught and cultivated eels.

Abstract In this study, we provide the first genetically verified distribution record beyond its native range of Ligula pavlovskii, a high-impact endoparasite Ponto-Caspian gobies. According to parasitological surveys, ligulosis was detected for time in monkey goby individuals collected from Lake Balaton 2004, 34 years after lake. During survey 2018, tapeworms 44.4% sampled This prevalence is a...

Parasite load can vary with seasonality, but this is rarely quantified. The garden skink (Lampropholis guichenoti) host to multiple species of endoparasite. To measure seasonal effects parasite transmission we established three captive groups wild-caught individuals in which 2 16 (12.5%) were initially infected nematodes. We collected faecal samples from each lizard, a sample at the beginning a...
