Snails (Mollusca : Gastropoda) are an ideal bio-indicators for palaeo-environments and water quality (pollution) and are much more useful in the classification of ecological diverse aquatic habitats.1-3 These aquatic snails also complete the life cycle of digenetic trematode parasites causing various dreaded trematodiasis diseases in vertebrates including men. Indeed these snails are an interme...

The Phylum Protozoa brings together several organisms evolutionarily different that may act as ecto or endoparasites of fishes over the world being responsible for diseases, which, in turn, may lead to economical and social impacts in different countries. Apart from the recent advances for the diagnosis of fish diseases in Brazil, little is known on the protozoan parasites and their relationshi...

The objective of this study was to investigate the frequency of occurrence and variety of intestinal parasites among free-living wild animals. Fecal samples from wild mammals and birds at rehabilitation centers in the states of Mato Grosso do Sul and São Paulo were analyzed by sedimentation and flotation-centrifugation methods. Parasite eggs, oocysts, cysts and/or trophozoites were found in 71%...

Bej§ovec, J.: Permanent Transmission of Endoparasites in Large Herds of Cattle. Acta vet. Bmo,60, 1991: 205-212. Calving houses were found to be cohtaminated with endoparasites by the first crop of pregnant cows arriving in the new premises. No significant differences were found in the incidence of endoparasite species between new and old calving houses by' artalysis of variance. The proportion...

Parasites collected from free-ranging black bears, Ursus americanus, in northern Wisconsin included Dermacentor variabilis, D. albipictus, Ixodes scapularis, Demodex sp., Trichodectes pinguis euarctidos, Baylisascaris transfuga and Dirofilaria ursi. Mange, possibly caused by the Demodex sp., also was observed. Dental caries were common and periodontal disease was observed in one animal.

Internal and external parasites remain a significant concern in laboratory rodent facilities, and many research facilities harbor some parasitized animals. Before embarking on an examination of animals for parasites, two things should be considered. One: what use will be made of the information collected, and two: which test is the most appropriate. Knowing that animals are parasitized may be s...

Abstract. Setyowati EA, Santoso S, Rokhmani, Rochmatino. 2022. Diversity and prevalence of endoparasites in domestic chickens across an elevation gradient. Biodiversitas 23: 3936-3942. The chicken farm is negatively affected by endoparasites, which decrease immunity, egg production, body weight. Although these effects are well understood large-scale farms, here we aimed to understand endoparasi...
