Studies have linked freshwater snails with human flukes as a result of repeated contacts contaminated water. This study is aimed to determine the distribution and their infectivity rates along dwellings in Okigwe Imo state using Physico-Chemical parameters.

The highly specialized coronulid barnacle Xenobalanus globicipitis attaches exclusively on cetaceans worldwide, but little is known about the factors that drive the microhabitat patterns on its hosts. We investigate this issue based on data on occurrence, abundance, distribution, orientation, and size of X. globicipitis collected from 242 striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) that were stran...

A cross sectional study was carried out from October 2010 to March 2011 at Andassa Livestock Research Center, North-West Ethiopia. The objective was to determine the prevalence of cattle flukes infection. Faecal samples were collected from a total of 384 cattle, cross breed (n= 39) and Fogera breed (n=345) of all age groups and sex. Sedimentation technique was employed for the recovery of fluke...

Killer whales (Orcinus orca) feeding on herring (Clupea harengus) in a fjord in northern Norway were observed using underwater video. The whales cooperatively herded herring into tight schools close to the surface. During herding and feeding, killer whales swam around and under a school of herring, periodically lunging at it and stunning the herring by slapping them with the underside of their ...

This study was aimed to identify Paramphistomum species from infected ruminants (sheep and cattle) by molecular methods between March 2018 September at Van municipality slaughterhouse. In the research, rDNA ITS-2 gene region of adult Paramphistomums amplified PCR method. Amplicons 399 bp long were viewed in agarose gel. As a result bidirectional sequence analysis made amplicons, leydeni Calicop...
