1. Community ecology of parasites in four species of Corydoras (Callichthyidae), ornamental fish endemic to the eastern Amazon (Brazil)
Abstract Abstract: This study compared the parasites community in Corydoras ephippifer, Corydoras melanistius, Corydoras amapaensis and Corydoras spilurus from tributaries from the Amapari River in State of Amapá (Brazil). A total of 151 fish of these four ornamental species were examined, of which 66.2% were parasitized by one or more species, and a total

2. Additional distribution and ecology records of the deep-water isopod Rocinela murilloi Brusca & Iverson, 1985 (Isopoda, Aegidae) in western Mexico
Abstract A series of specimens of the fish external parasite Rocinella murilloi Brusca and Iverson, 1985, is reported from 12 localities off western Mexico. These records are the first for southwestern Mexico (four) and add six new localities off the west coast of the Baja California Peninsula where the species was known from a single record. The specimens w

3. A Bayesian analysis of the parasitic ecology in Jenynsia multidentata(Pisces: Anablepidae)
ABSTRACT Jenynsia multidentata Jenyns, 1842 (one-sided livebearers) are euryhaline viviparous fish of small size, used in the laboratory experiment, important as resource for biological control of mosquito’s larva and a key species to recover eutrophic lakes. Works have been published dealing with parasite biodiversity of this host, but little has been stu

4. Microbial Symbionts of Insects are the Focus of the First International Cooperative Biodiversity Group (ICBG) in Brazil
The basic aim of the ICBG (International Cooperative Biodiversity Group) program is to benefit both the host country and the global scientific community by discovering and developing new solutions to human health problems based on previously unexplored genetic resources. The first ICBG in Brazil is jointly supported by the Fogarty International Center of the

5. Lutzomyia longipalpis urbanisation and control
Since the description of Lutzomyia longipalpis by Lutz and Neiva more than 100 years ago, much has been written in the scientific literature about this phlebotomine species. Soares and Turco (2003) and Lainson and Rangel (2005) have written extensive reviews focused on vector-host-parasite interactions and American visceral leishmaniasis ecology. However, du

6. Ecology of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Sinai: linking parasites, vectors and hosts
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected clinical form of public health importance that is quite prevalent in the northern and eastern parts of Egypt. A comprehensive study over seven years (January 2005-December 2011) was conducted to track CL transmission with respect to both sandfly vectors and animal reservoirs. The study identified six sandfly specie

7. Leishmaniasis transmission: distribution and coarse-resolution ecology of two vectors and two parasites in Egypt
Introduction: In past decades, leishmaniasis burden has been low across Egypt; however, changing environment and land use has placed several parts of the country at risk. As a consequence, leishmaniasis has become a particularly difficult health problem, both for local inhabitants and for multinational military personnel. Methods: To evaluate coarse-resol

8. Novel polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay to determine internal transcribed spacer-2 group in the Chagas disease vector, Triatoma dimidiata (Latreille, 1811)
Triatoma dimidiata is the most important Chagas disease insect vector in Central America as this species is primarily responsible for Trypanosoma cruzi transmission to humans, the protozoan parasite that causes Chagas disease. T. dimidiata sensu lato is a genetically diverse assemblage of taxa and effective vector control requires a clear understanding of t

9. Studies on protozoa in ancient remains - A Review
Paleoparasitological research has made important contributions to the understanding of parasite evolution and ecology. Although parasitic protozoa exhibit a worldwide distribution, recovering these organisms from an archaeological context is still exceptional and relies on the availability and distribution of evidence, the ecology of infectious diseases and

10. Ecologia comportamental e diversidade em um sistema hospedeiro-parasitóide : vespas parasitóides de Schismatodiplosis lantanae Rübsaamen, 1916 (Cecidomyiidae) em Lantana camara L. (Verbenaceae)
We investigated the ecology of parasitoid wasps attacking Schismatodiplosis lantanae Rübsaamen, 1916 (Cecidomyiidae) galls on leaves of Lantana camara L. (Verbenaceae). The first article discusses the behavioral ecology of the parasitoid wasp Torymus sp. (Torymidae, Hymenoptera), reporting how their females defend oviposition resources on the hosts, changin

11. Influência das características ambientais na comunidade de helmintos parasitas de Leptodactylus Podicipinus (Anura, Leptodactylidae) de lagoas do Pantanal da Nhecolândia, Corumbá, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil / Environmental variables influencing Helminth Community of Leptodactylus Podicipinus (Anura, Leptodactylidae) from ponds in the South-eastern Pantanal, Brazil
Um dos pontos centrais em ecologia é entender os padrões de distribuição e abundância de espécies, que em termos gerais são determinados pela dispersão e pelas condições abióticas e bióticas do ambiente. As condições ambientais e estrutura do ecossistema são também importantes na relação entre parasitas e hospedeiros e na determinação da

12. Possible influence of the ENSO phenomenon on the pathoecology of diphyllobothriasis and anisakiasis in ancient Chinchorro populations
Current clinical data show a clear relationship between the zoonosis rates of Diphyllobothrium pacificum and Anisakis caused by the El Niño Southern Oscillations (ENSO) phenomenon along the Chilean coast. These parasites are endemic to the region and have a specific habitat distribution. D. pacificum prefers the warmer waters in the northern coast, while An
